觀音靈簽第三十七簽：典故 Allegory
李靖歸山。 托塔天王李靖。 為封神榜人物。 塔能鎮魔。 李靖父子（哪吒）協姜子牙伐紂興周。 周武王立國初論功行賞。 李靖父子不戀世間的功名得祿。 辭賞歸山修道。 後父子七人都是肉身成聖。 喻風雲（名利）與燈燭（修道）不相合。 欲要得道。 須棄名利。 兩者不可兼得。
Li Jing returns to the mountain. This action is significant because pagoda-bearing Heavenly King Li Jing is a character in the Investiture of the Gods. His pagoda has the power to suppress demons. Li Jing and his son (Nezha) assisted Jiang Ziya in overthrowing King Zhou to establish the Zhou dynasty. When King Wu of Zhou distributed rewards based on merit after the nation's founding, Li Jing and his son declined worldly fame and wealth and returned to the mountain to cultivate their Dao. This story is a powerful metaphor for the importance of spiritual cultivation over worldly pursuits. It's like a candle, representing spiritual cultivation, flickering in the wind, symbolising worldly pursuits. The wind, or worldly pursuits, can quickly extinguish the candle, so one must retire from the wind to maintain the spiritual flame. Later, the father and seven sons achieved sanctity in their bodies. This indicates that fame and wealth (wind and clouds) do not mix with cultivating Dao (candle). If one desires to achieve Dao, one must abandon fame and wealth. The two cannot be achieved simultaneously.
