YI Ching 30 離為火
My teacher shared Yi-Ching advice sometimes, I received 2 messages for Star #9 and Star #8 for November yesterday and today.so I will post them .
If we face difficulties, let us have confidence in the path we are on, in our work, or in the teachings of our masters (in each person’s philosophy). However, that does not mean we should have confidence in ourselves. That can sometimes be arrogant. We need to clear our minds and make them obedient. By doing so, we can see things correctly, listen things correctly, and know things correctly. If we see or listen things while holding some preconceived notion or preconception, we may not be able to judge things correctly. Even things that have no form must be attached to something that has form. For example, the human mind cannot function unless it is attached to the body. It is important for us to let go of preconceived notions or preconception. Accept things as they are, observe them, and judge them. And the key is to approach things slowly ,gentry and no rushing. We cannot gain stability by making things black and white. The difficult problems that arise before us are messages from universe (天)to make us realize something. If we listen to that message and respond thoughtfully, we will see hope for solving the problem. Then, we solve the problem with being humble, motivation with passionate , and smiling brightly .Someday, the sun will set and the time for sunset will come. The time to study is now. The situation that we can study anytime will not last long. Be humble, don’t rush, and don’t miss the time when we can concentrate on studying, and do it cheerfully and happily.
