Governing text · Yu: Six in the second place
In plain wordsAs steady as a rock. Everyone else is sunk in comfort and pleasure, and only you hold firm; so you can see the first signs of things without waiting for nightfall. Stay true: good fortune.
- Now
- A glad, smooth-running situation in which people are willing to move along with you. Comfort also easily makes people slack.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Six in the second place. The answer is in that line. This text describes a good outcome. Act the way it says and the matter can succeed. The promise has a condition: keep to the right course.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Xie (Release): The difficulty is lifting; you can breathe out.
- What to do
- While people are of one mind, get things organized. Keep your own head clear and don't sink into the comfort.
