Yin and Yang
The State of
Peace, Good Fortune, and
Success
|
|
|
|
|
Yin and Yang
represent two fundamental forces
that create and harmonize the Universe by their interaction.
|
|
|
|
|
In the state of
peace,
good fortune, and
success ( I-Ching, Hexagram 11), Yin, the Receptive, which moves downward,
stands above; Yang, the Creative, which moves upward, is below. Hence their
influences meet and are in
harmony, so that all living things bloom and
prosper.
|
|
|
|
This is the state of
peace, good fortune, and
success.
|
|
|
|
Like everything on Earth, this state is
subject to change however. Prosperity is followed by decline: this is the
eternal law. Evil can be held in check for a while but not permanently
abolished. It always returns.
Yet, this is not a tragedy. It
shout just to keep us from
falling into illusion that good
fortune comes to us
automatically.

If we are mindful of the danger, we remain persevering and
make less mistakes. As long as your inner nature remains stronger and richer
than anything offered by external fortune, as long as you remain inwardly
superior to fate, fortune will not desert you. |
