Line Commentary
The well is being lined. No blame. While the work is going on, the well cannot be used. But the work is not in vain—the water will stay clear. In life too, there are times when you must put yourself in order. You can do nothing for others during such a time, but the work is valuable. By enhancing powers through inner development, you can accomplish all the more later.
