446 Arhat Anantagocara (Limitless Practice)
The lone plum in the snow is rarely appreciated; a crane among chickens is also pitiable. Since ancient times, the bird that stands out is easily shot by hunters. Therefore, one should be low-key and reserved to enjoy blessings and longevity.
For those who receive this verse, one is mostly a person of great talent, but often out of place with their environment. "A prominent tree in the forest will be destroyed by the wind; a pile on the shore will be eroded by the current; a person who excels others will be criticized by the crowd." Being overly ostentatious, arrogant, and acting unconventionally will surely invite endless troubles. Staying in one's place, being low-key, and restraining one's personality is the best policy.
