Zhuge Oracle Lesson 325
Zhuge Oracle Lesson 325 “The rat lies hidden in its hole”: In all things, to act is worse than to stay still; hold firmly to your part and stay out of trouble. It may also mean keeping a secret strictly and not letting it leak.
From the complete 384-lesson Zhuge Shen Shu (Zhuge Oracle) system.
Oracle Text
The rat lies hidden in its hole,
and of itself is safe and calm;
but once it shows its head,
the cat is straight upon it—
rousing its might, stretching its claws,
and the rat loses its poor life.
Interpretation
In all things, to act is worse than to stay still; hold firmly to your part and stay out of trouble. It may also mean keeping a secret strictly and not letting it leak.
