Commentary

Mountain over thunder transforms into doubled mountain — Keeping Still, the image of perfect repose. Grasping the Dipper's handle and turning the celestial pivot, one follows heaven's course without worry, dwelling alongside joy. The Dipper — the constellation whose handle marks the seasons — becomes a metaphor for governance aligned with cosmic rhythm. To hold the pivot and turn it is to participate in heaven's own ordering without strain. From Nourishment to Keeping Still, the transformation distills: the mountain that sheltered thunder now stands alone in doubled stillness. What was the restless appetite of nourishment has been refined into serene alignment with the celestial axis. The gentleman 'thinks not beyond his position,' and in that stillness finds joy.
