Singapore time 8.26 am 19th July 2008His rule listless, his people will be prosperous; his rule exacting, his people will be restless. Bad fortune will promote the good; good fortune too gives rise to bad. Who knows to what that leads? His not upright! Upright returns is considered rarity. Goodness returns is considered magical. People are astray, his days misled are very long indeed.
Therefore, the Sage is square but not sharp or not cunning, honest but not malign, straight but not strict, mean, bright but not dazzling.
Chinese words missing and jumble up for others.
This is talking about the Sage King. His rule is on the quiet. He is inactive 'wu wei', but his grip is that of an iron rod that can whack people. What is on the surface might not reveal the underneath. So don't judge a book by its cover. All this is because of magical power that is working for him.
He is plain, not what people look for as a leader, this is because he is not a leader. His duty is to preach the TRUTH. So he is awarded the title Sage King etc. We are all like brothers; Spirit has no gender. So it might be his turn to be One. Next time others might be Ones. That is beyond my knowledge.
