《The Four Lessons of Yao Fan》 says: “When Heaven is about to bestow a person, it grants his wisdom first, before his good fortune.”

Before a person becomes successful, it is必定 that they must first awaken and gain enlightenment, and obtain great wisdom.
Because they can anticipate situations, discern human nature, and grasp the laws by which the universe operates.

Wealth fortune is external opportunity; insight is the inner container.
If the container is not refined, even if you gain unexpected windfalls, it’s difficult to keep them for long.
In Chinese metaphysics, it is said: before wealth arrives, the “seal” (印) comes first.
The “seal” can nurture the self; only when the body is strong can it carry wealth.
Nurture your body, raise your yang energy; when the “seal” is strong and the self is robust, wealth will naturally come.
