Master Juezi points out: 🌱 Scheming to seize land for covert burial is, in essence, an act of harming others to satisfy one’s own selfish desires. To seek divine guidance through divination for such a conscience-devoid act—if the divination result were truly auspicious, wouldn’t that imply the deity is encouraging evil? Little do people realize that one must first cultivate a virtuous heart and accumulate hidden merits before serendipitously encountering auspicious geomantic land. There was once a person who, relying on wealth and power, bullied a poor family, schemed to frame them, all to seize their land for burying his own relatives. Later, he encountered a true master of geomancy who insightfully remarked: ⚖️ "If burying here does not bring prosperity to the family, it proves this land is not truly auspicious. But if it does bring prosperity, it would be an affront to heavenly principles! Given the clarity of cosmic justice and the cycle of retribution, I have never seen anyone achieve lasting prosperity through such unethical means."
In contemporary society, this concept transcends the specific context of geomancy and rises to a universal value: ⚠️ Success built on harming others or society, even if profitable in the short term, is inevitably unsustainable. This aligns closely with modern management concepts like ESG (Environmental, Social, Governance), corporate social responsibility (CSR), and the core idea of sustainable development—true long-term value must be rooted in righteousness and mutual benefit.
This chapter elevates geomancy from a mere "technical" practice to the philosophical height of "Dao." It profoundly reveals the core of the "unity of heaven and humanity" in traditional Chinese culture—the external environment (heaven, earth) and the human heart (mind, virtue) form an interconnected system of mutual influence and resonance. If human actions violate "heavenly principles" (natural laws and social justice), the entire system becomes imbalanced and will eventually correct itself in some form. This is essentially an ancient, systems theory-based philosophy of causality.
