Being as a wanderer, a tenant in the world, allowing everything to come to you and then depart in its time, and staying in touch with your inner being, you will attract the support of others and ultimately, great wealth. Be simple and unassuming. Empty yourself and the universe will serve you.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth – Jesus
Read the text from Richard Wilhelm's translation of the I Ching
“
A wanderer has no fixed abode; his home is the road. Therefore he must take care to remain upright and steadfast, so that he sojourns only in the proper places, associating only with good people. Then he has good fortune and can go his way unmolested.
The wanderer here described is modest and reserved. He does not lose touch with his inner being, hence he finds a resting place. In the outside world he does not lose the liking of other people, hence all persons further him, so that he can acquire property. Moreover, he wins the allegiance of a faithful and trustworthy servant – a thing of inestimable value to a wanderer.
The sun in heaven above, shedding light over everything on earth, is the image of possession on a grand scale. But a possession of this sort must be administered properly. The sun brings both evil and good into the light of day. Man must combat and curb the evil, and must favor and promote the good. Only in this way does he fulfil the benevolent will of God, who desires only good and not evil.
