Annotation

Traditional Interpretation

keeping still (52) signifies to pause.
 

the image

Mountains standing close together: the image of keeping still. Thus the superior man does not permit his thoughts to go beyond his situation.

the judgement

Keeping still. Keeping his back still so that he no longer feels his body. He goes into his courtyard and does not see his people. No blame.
