Governing text · Guai: Nine in the fifth place
In plain wordsLike pulling up purslane, make up your mind and make a clean break. You are too close to that bad thing; be decisive, yet not excessive. Keep to the middle way and there is no blame.
- Now
- Five parts good against one part bad; only the final decisive step remains. But that last step is still dangerous.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine in the fifth place. The answer is in that line. Neither good nor bad. Do your part, correct mistakes, and nothing will go wrong.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Dazhuang (Great Strength): When your strength is great, the worst danger is using it in the wrong place.
- What to do
- Bring the matter into the open and state it clearly; win everyone's support. Put your own side in order first. Do not open with a head-on clash. Be decisive, but not impulsive.
