Zhuge Oracle Lesson 80
Zhuge Oracle Lesson 80 “The tree puts forth in the sunlit spring”: Do not wantonly waste what nature gives. To understand a thing too little, then discard and squander it at will—what a pity that would be.
From the complete 384-lesson Zhuge Shen Shu (Zhuge Oracle) system.
Oracle Text
The tree puts forth in the sunlit spring,
but the three yin lie hidden at its root;
the woodcutter, not knowing this,
hacks it down for kindling.
Interpretation
Do not wantonly waste what nature gives. To understand a thing too little, then discard and squander it at will—what a pity that would be.
