45 Collecting

The Statement of the first hexagram

The king draws near to the temple:
gain by seeing a great person.
Make an offering with purity,
using great sacrificial beasts. Fortune.
Gain by having a place to go.

The changing lines

The first line:
A trust that cannot reach conclusion:
there is confusion, there is collecting amid commands.
One grasps for smiling results-no help.
Depart without fault.
The second line:
Led by fortune. No fault.
Trust the gain of the summer sacrifice.
The third line:
Collecting like sighs of regret.
No place is gainful.
Depart without fault. Slight regret.
The fifth line:
Collecting brings position. No fault
that there is no trust.
Great everlasting constancy dispels regret.
The sixth line:
Exclamations, tears, and sniveling.
No fault.
