Fortune No.32

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

渺渺前途事可疑,石中藏玉有誰知,一朝良匠分明剖,始覺其中碧玉奇
The endless future is doubtful, and even if a jade is stored in a stone, who would know it? When a good artisan clearly separates the jade from the stone, he will know the strangeness of the jasper in it.

常何薦馬周

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

玉在石中,匠手可知,直待剖出,真可施為。此籤石中剖玉之象,凡事著力可成。
Your current destiny is an elephant dissecting a jade out of a stone. All things can be accomplished if one only expends one's strength. In other words, you are the one who knows that the stone holds the jade, but you are the one who works tirelessly to bring it out. On the journey of life, there are often elephants of surprises and dangers. In other words, the jade is in the stone, and the artisan's hand knows it. If one waits patiently for the jade to be dissected out, he or she will be able to do something truly charitable.

Explanation

[Summary] Cultivate a spirit of self-reliance. If you have the courage to solve problems on your own, without depending on others, the way will open up.
This lot has the meaning of "尋人捉刀". It encourages the parties involved not to be too dependent on others in all matters. Do not bother others about what belongs to you, and moreover, do not leave everything to others. You should train yourself to be able to handle things on your own and solve problems by yourself as much as possible. If you always expect help from others, you will not grow, and the harvest will not be yours. Only by experiencing and trying things out for yourself will you truly understand the wonders that are stored within. If you have the courage to face it, you will find that it is not as difficult as you imagine.
