The image of Lord Bo Tien portrays the need to be atop and balance the polarities or dualities of life. We cannot have only yin or only yang but need to find the fine point of combination of yin and yang, sometimes more yin and sometimes more yang.. The left hand of the lord saint in salutation bids us to be ever mindful and steady to go for yin yang balance as depicted by the feet atop the elements. The scepter in right hand depicts the mission for yin yang balance for all

In 1984, Lord Bo Tien towards the end of His Anniversary Message stressed on need for balance of forces and events in our life and environment. The way is to find the most optimum mix of events and forces in our life - the yin and yang. We need to have both yin and yang and achieve the harmony of yin and yang. 

There must be counterbalancing to have the best outcome, to have the best peace that is more enduring even though all in the world we live in are transitory and imperfect.  

Fengshui deals with harmony of yin and yang in our external space and spiritual way (Tao)  deals with the harmony of yin and yang in our mind - the internal space. 

The paragraph below is from Historical version of 1984 birthday eve message of Lord Bo Tien Chor Choo at Philip's residence... 

"He then points at the Octagon (Ba gua) which shows two fish-like symbols - The Yin and the Yang - and says it (octagon) signifies harmony and is not harmful to people. Both the Yin and the Yang should exist but if there is only one , then there is no harmony."
