17 Sui
Sui indicates that (under its conditions) there will be great progress
and success. But it will be advantageous to be firm and correct. There
will (then) be no error.
1. The first NINE, undivided, shows us one changing the object of his
pursuit; but if he be firm and correct, there will be good fortune. Going
beyond (his own) gate to find associates, he will achieve merit.
2. The second six, divided, shows us one who cleaves to the little boy,
and lets go the man of age and experience.
3. The third six, divided, shows us one who cleaves to the man of age
and experience, and lets go the little boy. Such following will get what
it seeks; but it will be advantageous to adhere to what is firm and correct.
4. The fourth NINE, undivided, shows us one followed and obtaining (adherents).
Though he be firm and correct, there will be evil. If he be sincere (however)
in his course, and make that evident, into what error will he fall?
5. The fifth NINE, undivided, shows us (the ruler) sincere in (fostering
all) that is excellent. There will be good fortune.
6. The topmost six, divided, shows us (that sincerity) firmly held and
clung to, yea, and bound fast. (We see) the king with it presenting his
offerings on the western mountain.
