Governing text · Yu: Six in the third place
In plain wordsGazing up longingly at that person above, hoping to enjoy yourself in his reflected glory: you will regret it. If you are going to repent, do it early; repent too late and you really will have something to regret.
- 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 third place. The answer is in that line. There is some risk, or some regret left over, but nothing serious. Notice it early, correct it early, and things turn for the better.
- Where it is heading
- Things are moving toward Xiaoguo (Small Excess): Small things can be done; do not touch the big ones. Better to stay a little low.
- What to do
- While people are of one mind, get things organized. Keep your own head clear and don't sink into the comfort.
