Great Invigorating, The Power of the Great, Great Maturity
Real power requires alignment with rightness; raw force applied without justice collapses under its own weight.
Thunder in heaven; do not take paths or enact measures that violate cosmic order or your own integrity.
Changing Lines🔗
Line 1🔗
Power localized in the toes brings failure if forced ahead prematurely; halt your advance.
Line 2🔗
Balance and inner rightness secure lasting progress; do not let power degenerate into arrogance.
Line 3🔗
A goat butts a hedge and entangles its horns; raw force creates traps where subtle diplomacy succeeds.
Line 4🔗
The hedge opens; power succeeds when free of egoistic force, like a heavy axle on a strong wagon.
Line 5 ★🔗
Ruling line. Giving up raw force easily resolves long-standing resistance; a gentle attitude dissolves conflicts.
Line 6🔗
Entangled in the hedge, unable to advance or retreat; halt to understand the lesson to find light.
