Fortune No.49

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

營圖萬事若冰澌,何必慳貪苦所為,只好靜心閒處坐,待他興變復奚疑
All that you do will vanish like melting ice. Why do you greedily and selfishly do the path of suffering? Just be quiet and sit in a quiet place. Wait for the time when things will change, and you will no longer have any doubts.

Story (Historical Background)

太子丹尊事荊軻

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

水凍成冰,冰還溶水,若問營謀,何如不理。此籤如冰還原之象,凡事只宜苦守。
This lot is the elephant of "ice melts back to the original (ice melts back into water)," and all things should just be protected. Water freezes and becomes ice, and ice also melts and returns to water. If you are questioning their activities and plans, it would be better not to interfere with them at all. Even if you plot and scheme, they will disappear like melting ice. Why should we be stingy, greedy, and suffer to do injustice? There is no other way but to calm the mind and sit in a quiet place. Wait for the time when things will change and rise again, and the doubts of the past will dissolve of their own accord.

Explanation

[Summary] Put away unjust thoughts. Do deeds that do not shame your conscience and live with integrity, and your heart will be at peace.
This lot has the meaning of "seeking one's own death. It admonishes the party involved not to harbor any dishonest plans in their hearts. There are those who appear kind to others on the surface, but inwardly are full of harmful intentions. They are just too clever at hiding it to be seen from the outside. This behavior may deceive others, but in the end it cannot deceive oneself. People who are not of the same mind are in pain. Sometimes, once they tell a lie, they are afraid to tell more lies for fear of being exposed, and it becomes a vicious cycle. But inwardly, he knows that he is doing what he knows he cannot or should not do. The condemnation of conscience is unbearable. The so-called "mind of a harmless person is not to be possessed. Do right in your actions, be steady in your sitting, do not have delusions or evil thoughts, and do not harm others so as not to harm yourself.
