"The true purpose is subject to the earth





But adepts can only use the means of overthrowing the abysmal and the adhering (Li) when their purposes are sincerely in the work, otherwise a pure mixture is not produced.

The true purpose is subject to the Earth.

The colour of the Earth is yellow; therefore in books on the Life Elixir, it is symbolized by the yellow germ.

When the abysmal and the adhering (Li) unite, the Golden Flower appears; the golden colour is white, and therefore white snow is used as a symbol.

But worldly people who do not understand the secret words of the books of the Life Elixir, have misunderstood yellow and white in that they have taken it as a means of making gold out of stones.

Is not that foolish? ~The Secret of the Golden Flower, Page 69
