Steven Karcher & Michael Servetus
The King’s servant: Difficulties, Difficulties! His own person is definitely not the cause.
You are pushing on through a sea of troubles. Calm your heart. The difficulties you are facing are not your fault. You are held in an oppressive net of responsibilities by a corrupt authority. Have patience and hold on to what is of real worth. Bring the hidden to light. You will not only be liberated but acquire the ability to help others. Step outside the norms. Co-operate with the on-going process of change.
Richard Wilhelm
The King's servant is beset by obstruction upon obstruction,
But it is not his own fault.
##### Comments
Ordinarily it is best to go around an obstacle and try to overcome it along the line of least resistance. But there is one instance in which a man must go out to meet the trouble, even though difficulty piles upon difficulty: this is when the path of duty leads directly to it-in other words, when he cannot act of his own volition but is duty bound to go and seek out danger in the service of a higher cause. Then he may do it without compunction, because it is not through any fault of his that he is putting himself in this difficult situation.
