29 Khan
Khan, here
repeated, shows the possession of sincerity, through which the mind is
penetrating. Action (in accordance with this) will be of high value.
1. The first
six, divided, shows its subject in the double defile, and (yet) entering
a cavern within it. There will be evil.
2. The second
NINE, undivided, shows its subject in all the peril of the defile. He
will, however, get a little (of the deliverance) that he seeks.
3. The third
six, divided, shows its subject, whether he comes or goes (=descends or
ascends), confronted by a defile. All is peril to him and unrest. (His
endeavors) will lead him into the cavern of the pit. There should be no
action (in such a case).
4. The fourth
six, divided, shows its subject (at a feast), with (simply) a bottle of
spirits, and a subsidiary basket of rice, while (the cups and bowls) are
(only) of earthenware. He introduces his important lessons (as his ruler's)
intelligence admits. There will in the end be no error.
5. The fifth
NINE, undivided, shows the water of the defile not yet full, (so that
it might flow away); but order will (soon) be brought about. There will
be no error.
6. The topmost
six, divided, shows its subject bound with cords of three strands or two
strands, and placed in the thicket of thorns. But in three years he does
not learn the course for him to pursue. There will be evil.
