Stick #38: Meet All Change with Constancy (Neutral)

万变不离其宗理,守正持中见本真。外界纷纭心自定,以不变应万尘。

Plain reading

This lot says ten thousand changes share one root. Hold center and heart stays clear. Outside noise swirls — inner principles steady; constancy answers every dust.

Interpretation

"Meet All Change with Constancy" is a neutral stick. All change has root. Keep center — mind unshaken; unchanging core meets changing world.

Advice

Fix three principles — honesty, health, family. Tactics may shift; bottom lines do not.

Drawn from Analects — "noble firm in hardship" — and Zhou Dunyi's stillness as human pole — hold root in chaos.
