Salvation is beyond good works. It has to do with the peace and refinement of the spirit. This is only possible if one is able to balance and be atop the yin and yang - the polar dualities of life at every moment and station in life.
The yin yang equation changes with the times and varies from person to person. There is no one size fits all and one solution for all issues and problems. Thus there cannot be just one but many saints, sects and religions for mankind and for beings in all realms.
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.
