"The fourfold order was created by me according to the divisions of quality and work. Though I am the doer, know me as the eternal non-doer."
Modern explanation
When the day pushes against you, remember: You were born with a particular shape of energy. Purpose is matching your work to that shape.
Practical application
Do the work even when motivation has left the room. Discipline is borrowed motivation.
Reflection question
What would I do if I knew this work was preparing me for something I can't yet see?
