Fu: Return:

In the I Ching there is a quote that provides more in regard to one's "way" to being a balanced person. AJA Sensei has said many times that it is our responsibility to seek out the truth and make changes to ensure that what we say, do and teach is truthful and accurate. This quote from the I Ching also tells us of the importance of this value of self:

"A man should not take shelter in trivial excuses, but should look within and examine himself. And if he has done something wrong he should make a noble hearted resolve to confess his fault. No one will regret having taken this road."

To confess fault is to admit to oneself that they are in error and must resolve to correct it immediately for to delay would result in fault. If one takes this honorable way then although they erred initially they have redeemed themselves by making the adjustment and expressing that correction to all concerned.

This is the Way of Heaven and Earth, Kenpo Gokui first tome. It is a person of true "heart" who can see within themselves the way of Heaven and Earth and achieve a greater level of being a wholehearted person.
