bodhizijazo asked:
Is it in harmony with Divine Law for me to consume this banana now?
and received a response of:
38 Estrangement
The Statement of the first hexagram
Estrangement.
In small matters: fortune.
The changing lines
The first line:
Remorse vanishes. Do not search:
a lost horse returns by itself.
When seeing the wicked, make no mistakes.
The third line:
Seeing the wagon dragged back, his oxen
taken, his men's hair and noses cut off.
Not a beginning, but an ending.
The fifth line:
Remorse vanishes.
One's kinsmen bite the skin.
Going forward: what error?
44 Copulating
The Statement of the second hexagram
Copulating: the woman is powerful.
Do not marry such a woman.
The Image of the first hexagram
Fire above, lake below:
estrangement. The noble
one works with others,
but remains an individual.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wind under heaven:
copulating.
The sovereign
issues commands
to the four quarters.
