Modern Interpretation:
This is the content of the eleventh piece in Volume 105 of the Taiping Jing (Scripture of Great Peace), titled “Restoring the Text on Letting the Honored Ones Be Free of Worry, Part 170.”
The central idea of the scripture is that when honored people—those who cultivate the Dao—are free from worry, evil influences and malign Qi will naturally disappear.
This is an important principle in Daoist cultivation: when practitioners’ minds are clear and free from worry, external demons and malign Qi cannot disturb them and will recede on their own. It expresses the wisdom of cultivation in the saying, “When the heart is upright, evil cannot intrude.”
