Bind and open its calves. You cannot rescue your following. My heart is not glad.
Though you can take this opportunity to stop running after impossible desires you cannot help others on the same course. Still yourself. A fertilizing shock comes and goes bringing up old memories and old quarrels. You must deal with the corruption of nourishment and care now. Do not run after impossible desires. Follow the new spirit for this can lead to real excellence. If you let yourself be led now you can realize the hidden potential. Co-operate with the on-going process of change.
Richard Wilhelm
Keeping his calves still.
He cannot rescue him whom he follows.
His heart is not glad.

The leg cannot move independently; it depends on the movement of the body. If a leg is suddenly stopped while the whole body is in vigorous motion, the continuing body movement will make one fall. The same is true of a man who serves a master stronger than himself. He is swept along, and even though he may himself halt on the path of wrongdoing, he can no longer check the other in his powerful movement. Where the master presses forward, the servant, no matter how good his intentions, cannot save him.
