Lot 9 of 100
You trouble yourself to ask me what is in your heart
The poem
勞君問我心中事此意偏宜說向公一片靈臺明似鏡恰如明月正當空
In English
You trouble yourself to ask me what is in your heart,and this matter is best told openly to the public.The spirit's tower within is bright as a mirror,like the bright moon standing right at the center of the sky.
What it says
The poem says that what weighs on your heart suits open, honest speaking. A mind clear as a mirror, like the moon at the center of the sky, has nothing to fear from being seen. It is a lot that encourages candor and transparency.
A thought to take with you
Say plainly what is on your mind; clarity often follows honesty.
