Interpretation.

The weight of the great is excessive. The load is too heavy for the strength of the supports. It is an exceptional time and situation and therefore extraordinary measures are demanded. It is necessary to find a way of transition as quickly as possible and to take action. Nothing is to be achieved by forcible measures, the problem must be solved by gentle penetration to the meaning of the situation then the change-over to other conditions will be successful. The time resembles flood times when the lake rises over the treetops. But such conditions are temporary. The attitude required for these exceptional times is to stand firm even though one stands alone and to remain undaunted even if one must renounce the world.
