“In the autumn and winter, water begins to freeze
into ice. When the warm
breezes of spring come, the rigidity is dissolved,
and the elements that have
been dispersed in ice floes are reunited. It is the
same with the minds of the people. Through hardness and selfishness the heart
grows rigid, and this
rigidity leads to separation from all others.
Egotism and cupidity isolate men.
Therefore the hearts of men must be seized by a
devout emotion. They must
be shaken by a religious awe in face of
eternity-stirred with an intuition of the One Creator of all living beings, and
united through the strong feeling of fellowship experienced in the ritual of
divine worship.”
I Ching
