41 Decrease

The Statement of the first hexagram

Decrease. Have confidence.

Great fortune. No fault

if one can be upright.

Gain by having a place to go.

How should one act?

Two square bamboo baskets

can be used in offering.

The changing lines

The first line:
In your own business, go quickly. No fault.

Consider decrease there.

4 Youth

The Statement of the second hexagram

A youth must be steadfast.

I do not seek the naive youth.

The naive youth seeks me.

At the first divination, I explain,

but after three times, it is irritating.

Annoyed, I explain no further.

Nevertheless, a gainful omen.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
