Attending, Needing, Arriving
Waiting with inner certainty, sincerity, and objective truth brings light and success. Only a strong man can endure to face his fate resolutely.
Clouds rise up to heaven. Quietly fortify the body with food and drink and the mind with gladness; do not interfere before the time is ripe.
Changing Lines๐
Line 1๐
Waiting in the meadow. The danger is still distant; abide in endurance and guard against a premature waste of strength.
Line 2๐
Waiting on the sand near the river. Friction and gossip crop up; stay calm and do not engage in injured retorts to silence slander.
Line 3๐
Waiting in the mud. A premature start leaves you in an unfavorable position that invites outside enemies; caution is required.
Line 4๐
Waiting in blood. An extremely grave, cut-off situation; stand fast, stay composed, and let fate take its course to get out of the pit.
Line 5 โ ๐
Ruling line. Waiting at meat and drink. Enjoy intervals of peace to fortify yourself; know how to enjoy the moment without losing sight of the goal.
Line 6๐
Falling into the pit. The danger arrives; keep your mind alert and greet the uninvited, unforeseen intervention with respect.
