Fortune No.79

Poem (The Oracle's Verse)

虛空結願結人緣,保得人安願未還,得兔忘蹄真絕跡,敢將初誓謾輕瞄
Even if you make a wish in the void, make a connection with others, and keep your peace of mind, your wish will not yet be rewarded. To gain a hare and forget a hoof is to truly lose sight of the hare, and to dare to disregard the initial vow.

Interpretation (Meaning of the Oracle)

有人見我,空自懷然,佛慈指藥,切莫輕瞞。此籤信實不虛之象,凡事待時耐守則吉。
This lot is the elephant in the room of "faith and truth, not falsehood," and all things are good if you wait for the right time, endure, and protect them. When a person looks at me, he only feels a sense of futility. When people see me, they are only vainly thinking about me. The compassion of the Buddha points to the medicine. You have made a wish in the void, and you have made a connection with others, but one person's power is limited. If you are bold for a moment and rush forward blindly, there will come a time when difficulties will arise. It is time and it is life. Realize this, and do not be too bold. You will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself, you will see yourself.

Explanation

[Summary] Always keep your promises. Do not take short cuts, and be faithful to what you have undertaken.
This lot has the meaning of "a promise is worth a thousand dollars". It urges the parties involved to keep their word. Lao Tzu says, "He who lightly accepts a promise will surely have little faith. In other words, a person who lightly promises to do anything is unlikely to keep his word. Therefore, we should not take lightly the promises we have given in the past. The other party includes not only others but also oneself. It is a virtue to help others, but before accepting a request, one should consider whether the other party's request is appropriate and reasonable. Even on one's own side, one should not make promises lightly if one is unable to do so. However, once you accept an undertaking, no matter how large or small, you should do your utmost to fulfill it to the best of your ability.

Practical Advice for Modern Life

Wei Ke being saved by the old man tying grass shows that promises kept in the past can help the future. Avoid casual acceptance; record and fulfill what you take on. Those who do not neglect small obligations gain unseen allies.

Recommended Deity & Prayer Advice

Pray to Guan Sheng Dijun for integrity and responsibility to keep promises. State your resolve not to leave what you accepted vague, but to fulfill it to the end.
