Treading / Conduct, Line 1:
"Simple conduct. Progress without blame."
In a situation that calls for caution - like the one you're in now - the simple, straightforward path is the best course. Have you identified the "wild, intractable person" the Yi warned you about? Scheming and plotting is not the way to get the better of him.
"If you can be content with simplicity, you can make progress without blame." [Wilhelm]
