Thoughts and impulses /
come and go in the silence /
let them flow freely
Keep on the path to liberation. Acknowledge your thoughts and impulses without letting them dominate your intentions and actions. Watch the flow of your existence without being caught up in surrounding events.

52 – Fifty-Two. Kên / The Mountain
Above this Mountain’s summit another more majestic rises: The Superior Person is mindful to keep his thoughts in the here and now. Stilling the sensations of the Ego, he roams his courtyard without moving a muscle, unencumbered by the fears and desires of his fellows. This is no mistake. SITUATION ANALYSIS: There is a higher vantage point available to you, but it is obscured by the visible peak of personal ambition. To climb to this higher plane, you must shake off the desires and fears of the conscious, visible world around you. To make this journey you must quiet the Ego, empty your mind of past and future, and dwell totally in the moment at hand. Thorough mindfulness of what is before you is the only tranquility. Be. Here. Now.
Six in the fourth place means:He keeps his trunk still through flexibility. Faultless. Keeping his trunk still. No blame.
‘Finding Inner Peace’ – Joe Triano |
| As has been pointed out above in the comment on the Judgement, keeping the back at rest means forgetting the ego. This is the highest stage of rest. Here this stage has not yet been reached: the individual in this instance, though able to keep the ego, with its thoughts and impulses, in a state of rest, is not yet quite liberated from its dominance. Nonetheless, keeping the heart at rest is an important function, leading in the end to the complete elimination of egotistic drives. Even though at this point one does not yet remain free from all the dangers of doubt and unrest, this frame of mind is not a mistake, as it leads ultimately to that other, higher level. |
50 – Fifty. Ting / The Caldron
Fire rises hot and bright from the Wood beneath the sacrificial caldron: The Superior Person positions himself correctly within the flow of Cosmic forces. Supreme Accomplishment. SITUATION ANALYSIS: Your needs are coming into harmony with the requirements of the Cosmos. Blending brilliantly with the Dance of Life, you are becoming an actual element of Cosmic Law. Your goals will now be realized because you no longer cut against the Cosmic grain; you are no longer swimming against the flow of the Tao. You are acquiring an intuitive sense of what can and cannot be, and aligning your efforts accordingly.
