Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
Tied to the small son, you let the experienced man go.
Let go of your self-importance, dissolve your connection to the corruption around you and open yourself to the new. Your work will be rewarded and the cause for sorrow will disappear. Do not get involved in disputes. Use praise to disarm your opponents. Gather energy for the decisive new move.
Richard Wilhelm
If one clings to the little boy,
One loses the strong man.

In friendships and close relationships an individual must make a careful choice. He surrounds himself either with good or with bad company; he cannot have both at once. If he throws himself away on unworthy friends he loses connection with people of intellectual power who could further him in the good.
