When we remain at the base of the mountain we cannot see what is around us. We are unable to assess our surroundings because of all the obstacles (such as the trees, rocks, etc…) that prevents us from seeing clearly. Learn to climb the mountain and in so doing, you will be able to see clearly all around you. When we have climbed the mountain and are able to stand on the top is when we no longer become associated with that which is below (the obstacles and problems of life). We are then able to become one with God and therefore become King of the Mountain.
