27 I
I indicates
that with firm correctness there will be good fortune (in what is denoted
by it). We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the exercise
of our thoughts seek for the proper aliment.
1. The first
NINE, undivided, (seems to be thus addressed), 'You leave your efficacious
tortoise, and look at me till your lower jaw hangs down.' There will be
evil.
2. The second
six, divided, shows one looking downwards for nourishment, which is contrary
to what is proper; or seeking it from the height (above), advance towards
which will lead to evil.
3. The third
six, divided, shows one acting contrary to the method of nourishing. However
firm he may be, there will be evil. For ten years let him not take any
action, (for) it will not be in any way advantageous.
4. The fourth
six, divided, shows one looking downwards for (the power to) nourish.
There will be good fortune. Looking with a tiger's downward unwavering
glare, and with his desire that impels him to spring after spring, he
will fall into no error.
5. The fifth
six, divided, shows one acting contrary to what is regular and proper;
but if he abide in firmness, there will be good fortune. He should not,
(however, try to) cross the great stream.
6. The sixth
NINE, undivided, shows him from whom comes the nourishing. His position
is perilous, but there will be good fortune. It will be advantageous to
cross the great stream.
