Singapore time 10.24 am 26th August 2008These things received the One: the sky obtained it and became clear; the earth obtained it and became firm; spirit obtained it and became energised; Valley obtained it became full to overflowing; all things obtained it and became alive; the king obtains it and becomes the world's moral uprighter. Without the One: the sky without been clear it might collapse; the earth without been firm it might erupt crazily; the spirit without been energised it might become passive; valley without overflowing it might run dry; all things without life might be annihilated; king without been a moral uprighter might trip and fall. Truly, the precious has to rely on the cheap as base; height has to rely the base as foundation. Therefore the king declares: I am orphan, desolate and needy one. Isn't this is to rely on the poor and the base? Isn't it? For popularity is not popular, therefore don't desire for things: carve and polish like jade, fall like the stone.

A general message. I will comment some other day on this.
Last sentence is telling us to be like polished jade not a rough stone.
