The Lines
1. [9] When a new cycle begins, there will be some mistakes.
But these cause no harm if a man recognizes them and immediately turns away
from them. The opportunities presented by a new beginning are not lost by minor
diversions, provided these do not become fixed in one’s behavior.
2. [6] A New Cycle does not begin without a man’s full and
active participation. Events will not force themselves upon him. Look to the
example of others for the proper way to proceed.
3. [6] There are those who waver and try first one path and
then another. This can be dangerous if it means abandoning what is right and
falling into something evil. But if such experiments are done always with the
purpose of finding a better and purer path, no harm will result.
4. [6] If a man is surrounded by inferior companions,
following the right path means launching out on his own and leaving them
behind. Such a loss may seem regrettable at the time, but a new beginning
requires such a choice.
5. [6] When a man recognizes that it is time for a new
beginning, he must honestly assess those faults of his that stand in the way
and need correction. A new beginning is not possible without this kind of
resolve, and he will never regret taking the necessary steps.
6. [6] If a man turns away when the time is ripe for a new
beginning, he cannot avoid misfortune. He has failed to act when he fully
understands that action is necessary. This demonstrates an unconcerned,
wrongful attitude that cannot bode well. Opportunity has presented herself, and
she shall not return
until the next cycle comes around.
