what would this message yield?
  
  
    and received a response of:
  
  
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    52 Stilling
  
  
    
      
      The Statement of the first hexagram
    
    
      One stills one's back
and does not move one's body. 
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people. 
No fault.
    
   
  
    The changing lines
    
        
    The first line:
    Stilling one's feet. No fault. 
Gain through everlasting virtue.  
  
    The second line:
    Stilling one's calves. 
One cannot raise one's followers. 
One's heart is unhappy.  
     
   
 
    
  
  
 
  
   
  
    26 Great Restraint
  
  
    The Statement of the second hexagram
  
  
   Gain by being upright. 
Not eating at home brings fortune. 
Advance across the great river.
  
   
 
     
    
        
    The Image of the first hexagram
  
  
    Doubled mountains: 
stillness. 
The noble one 
does not consider matters 
beyond his position.  
      
      
      
      
     
    
        
    The Image of the second hexagram
  
  
    Heaven in the center of a 
mountain: great restraint. 
The noble one 
frequently studies 
the words and prophesies 
of the past, and thereby 
nourishes virtue.
