Fortune

富貴天之祐

何須苦用心

前程応顕跡

久用得高臨

In English

  • Wealth and rank are heaven's blessing
  • why wear yourself out with worry?
  • the road ahead will show your tracks
  • long effort carries you to great heights
Meaning
The key phrase is heaven's blessing in the first line, help that comes from beyond your own effort. Since wealth and rank rest on that, there is no need to wear yourself out with worry; steady work leaves clear tracks and carries you higher in time.
What to do today
If you have been tense, slowly enjoy one cup of a drink you like.
A word from the capybara
Not trying too hard keeps the fur nice and glossy.

The explanations added by each temple differ. The poems and fortunes follow an Edo-period printed edition.
