Fourth-Nine. Even should he hover like a bird over the abyss, yet no detriment ensues.
Hovering over the abyss of waters, implies his (Khëen’s) capability of advancing without detriment.
Four-Nine says, Even should he hover like a bird over the abyss, yet no detriment ensues; what is the meaning of this ? Confucius says; He is not exclusively confined to an upper or lower position, and is not in error in Occupying either, He does not exclusively either advance or retire, and he does not separate from his Kind in either case, (Thus) the Model Man, progressing in virtue and regulating his conduct, awaits a favourable opportunity for action ; and hence he escapes (giving or receiving) dissatisfaction.
Hovering like a bird over the abyss of waters, implies, making trial of his powers.
Moverins over the abyss of waters implies that the Khëen Taou is changing (i.e. rising up to take his place on high).
The Fourth-Nine (stroke) is also Hard and is not in due Medium; above, it is not in Heaven ; below, it is not on the dry land and in the centre, it is not in Man ; therefore the position is an undetermined one, that is to say doubt is implied ; and hence (the Model Man acts with caution in order to be) faultless.
