Holding Still

Doubled mountains—Holding Still.

The exemplary person thus keeps thought within his position.

Holding Still: Hold still at the back—the body is not gained; walk the courtyard—the person is not seen. No blame.

Holding Still is stopping. When it is time to stop, then stop; when it is time to go, then go. Movement and stillness do not lose their timing—the way is bright. Hold still at the halt—stopping in its place. Upper and lower respond as opposites; they do not associate. Thus: the body is not gained, one walks the courtyard and does not see the person. No blame.
