| Chapter Seventy Three One who is brave and daring, will kill it, one who is brave but not daring, will preserve it. These two choices can be good or bad. But the choice leading to evil against Heaven, is hard to decide which to choose. [Therefore the Enlightened is left with a difficult decision.] (Heng: When the Enlightened finds the source of suffering, he has the option to topple it and change it completely, or to leave it alone and allow Heaven to decide its fate. This is the same problem that Marx faced in his time... and he chose to change it. That is why endless tragedies follow after his ideal. Later Mannheim comments that Marx in fact has a choice to leave it alone.) The Law of Heavens states: Not to compete wins over all 'human victories'. Does not speak but knows how to respond, does not call so the required arrives by itself, is not anxious of its outcome but has it all planned out. Heaven's net is wide and all-encompassing, its meshes are loose but nothing escapes from it. |
