Governing text · Zhongfu: Nine at the beginning
In plain wordsFirst weigh carefully whether the other person can be trusted, then trust him: good fortune. If in your heart you have other designs as well, you will have no peace.
- Now
- The hexagram of inner honesty: with enough sincerity, even little pigs and fish can be moved.
- The key
- Only one line is changing: Nine at the beginning. 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 Huan (Dispersion): People's hearts, or the situation, have scattered and need to be drawn together again.
- What to do
- Bring your true heart and do what you say; with that you can get past a great hurdle. Toward other people's faults, be a little more lenient and a little slower to judge.
