The judgment
The hands have been washed, but the offering not yet made. Whoever gathers themselves sincerely becomes an example to others.
The image
The wind blows over the earth. So the ancient kings visited the regions, observed the people and gave teaching.
The six lines
- Six at the beginningA child's view: fine for the simple, shameful for the wise.
- Six in the second placePeeping through the crack of the door: fine for one who watches from afar, but limiting.
- Six in the third placeContemplating your own life to decide whether to advance or retreat.
- Six in the fourth placeContemplating the light of the kingdom: it helps to be the king's guest.
- Nine in the fifth placeContemplating your own life: the wise person remains without blame.
- Nine at the topContemplating your life from above: no blame.
Commentary
Stop and observe before acting. Look at the situation from above, as a whole, and look at yourself too. Your example speaks louder than your words. Whoever observes carefully understands what others miss.
