Interpretation.

The force of inner truth depends mainly on inner stability and preparedness. This force is not the same as a simple intimacy or a secret bond. Such close ties may exist also amongst criminals which does act as a force but is not invincible. All attachments on the basis of common interests only remain so up to a certain point. When the community of interest ceases so also does the holding together and friendships can often turn into hatred. The way to influence a situation is through commitment to the truth.

Pigs and fish were considered the least intelligent of animals and therefore extremely difficult to influence. To do so required the force of inner truth to be greatly developed. Even the most difficult people will respond to somebody whose motivation is genuinely sincere. The secret of success rests upon finding the right approach, ridding oneself of all prejudice and letting the psyche of the other person act on one without restraint. Once it is known what matters to the recipient, it will be obvious how to establish contact.

Whenever a feeling is expressed with truth and frankness and a deed is a clear expression of sentiment, a strong and far-reaching influence is exerted. Any intention to force an effect destroys the possibility of producing it.
