Viewing the children playing. For Small People this is not a mistake. For the Realizing Person: Distress.
Watching the children play, you see signs that can disturb the whole state. Move with them. Arouse the great within you. Generosity and power can enter your life if you act on what you see. This will not diminish you, it will augment what you can offer. Something important is returning. Be open and provide what is needed.
Richard Wilhelm
Boy like contemplation.
For an inferior man, no blame.
For a superior man, humiliation.
##### Comments
This means contemplation from a distance, without comprehension. A man of influence is at hand, abut his influence is not understood by the common people. This matters little in the case of the masses, for they benefit by the actions of the ruling sage whether they understand them or not. But for a superior man it is a disgrace. He must not content himself with a shallow, thoughtless view of prevailing forces; he must contemplate them as a connected whole and try to understand them.
