📌 Gate 2 Line 1
Beauty, pleasure, harmony is what you aspire to, so, that’s what you feel driven to actively pursue for yourself. However, that’s not how you’re meant to experience them, as you can only get there by passively surrendering to the direction life has in store for you.
📌 Gate 2 Line 2
Attuning yourself to your unique direction comes natural to you, as long as you’re not pretending to know where you’re going. Because the moment you think you know, the mess you make with your life inevitably gets you into trouble.
📌 Gate 2 Line 3
By patiently going through your trial and error process, a chance is there for you to come up with a direction you can stay with. Then, whether it comes to a temporary or definitive direction, that’s what you happen to find out for yourself, by keeping yourself open and receptive to what life has in store for you.
📌 Gate 2 Line 4
For people to recognize the value in your mutative direction, you’d better not say anything about it till the moment they experience it for themselves. Because, as soon as you let them know where you’re going, you cannot help but having them getting into your way.
📌 Gate 2 Line 5
Saying no to people expecting you to give them your direction can make them talk behind your back, especially if you arrogantly pretend you’re the one who knows best, instead of clearly communicating to them the reason why you cannot fulfill their expectation.
📌 Gate 2 Line 6
Your receptiveness towards a potentially mutative direction depends on whether you’re able to recognize it of value to humanity or not. If not, what you might fixate yourself on is a material direction which, unfortunately, leaves no space for transcendence and, because of that, comes with a price to pay.
