071 Arhat Sthūla (Sariputta)
Even with keen intellect and exceptional strategies, one may still run out of ideas and face a dead end. Life is like rowing against the current; now is the time to strive diligently, otherwise, you will fall back and find it hard to achieve anything again.
For those who receive this verse, one is resourceful but currently faces difficulties. One should know that excessive scheming will eventually be exhausted or fail. When life is in adversity, one should focus on diligence and proceed in a down-to-earth manner.
