Mountain above Heaven — enormous force held in reserve, accumulated through discipline over time. "Daily renewal of virtue and character." The strength here isn't spent on current problems; it's being gathered for the moment when it's actually needed. The one who can hold power without immediately deploying it becomes capable of something qualitatively different from the one who cannot.
