Fortune No.37
Poem (The Oracle's Verse)
欲問身安運泰時,風中燈燭不相宜,爭如收拾深堂坐,庶免光搖靜處期
It is not appropriate to try to ask for one's own peace of mind, for it is like a candle in the wind. Rather, we should prepare ourselves, sit in a deep hall, and wait for a quiet time when the light does not waver, so that we can avoid unnecessary problems.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)
靜處安身,命待時泰,動心惹禍,靜守急危。此籤風中燈燭之象,凡事謹慎則吉。
This lottery is the lottery of the candle before the wind, and it is not suitable now. Therefore, it is good to be careful and cautious in all matters. You should always "sit in a deep hall and keep yourself in a seat," in other words, it is good luck to be quiet. If you move, bad things will happen. Therefore, you should be patient for a while. When the time is right, the elephant of good fortune will surely accompany you. In other words, be at peace in a quiet place and wait for the right time to come. Move your mind and you will invite disaster. It is a lot that says, "Be still and save the day.

Explanation
[Summary] Don't try to be pure and innocent only by yourself. It is also important to fellowship with others and serve the world.
This lot means "vague indifference. It is an admonition to those involved not to try to be too pure themselves. People who don't like to be involved in the right and wrong, who don't covet, and who don't scale the heights of others are often highly esteemed. It is good to keep oneself pure and autonomous, but it does not mean that one should leave everything to chance when help or cooperation is needed. While the "unglutinous" way of life keeps one away from many problems and troubles, it also makes one feel that one is "self-possessed and self-centered, with no regard for others," and is a bit self-serving. You should not complete your deeds alone, but rather, you should interact with others and do whatever you can to help them. If one seeks sincere advice, one should not spare one's mouth. Do not forget that while you are preparing yourself, you should also be doing good under the sun.
Practical Advice for Modern Life
Guan Gongming hiding in Liaodong shows that purity alone may not fulfill your role. Check whether you are keeping too much distance to avoid being hurt. Offering a little of your wisdom at work or home reconnects closed luck with society.
Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice
Pray to Guanyin Bodhisattva for a way to help others while protecting yourself. Ask to find sustainable involvement rather than isolation.
