Decrease combined with sincerity brings supreme good fortune without blame. One may be persevering in this; it furthers one to undertake something. Two small bowls may be used for the sacrifice. The lake at the mountain's base evaporates to nourish the height — decrease below, increase above: a time of lessened means which, met honestly, loses nothing essential. Simplicity offered sincerely outweighs splendour offered for show.
At the foot of the mountain, the lake: the superior person controls their anger and restrains their instincts. Outer decrease is matched by inner: the wise use lean times to diminish what should always have been smaller — temper, appetite, excess.
This is a season of less — leaner resources, reduced circumstances, necessary economies — and the oracle strips it of shame: decrease borne with sincerity carries supreme good fortune. Simplify without apology; two small bowls, honestly offered, are enough for any altar that matters. Direct the pruning wisely: cut expenditure of temper and indulgence first, and let the lean time reveal what was always essential. Decrease at the base is often increase at the summit — what you lose in breadth now, you are gaining in height.
