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 third line:
Stilling one's waist.
Splitting the muscles of the back.
Cruelty smokes one's heart.
The fourth line:
Stilling his trunk.
No fault.
The fifth line:
Stilling his jaws.
Speech is orderly.
Regrets vanish.

25 Innocence

The Statement of the second hexagram

Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.
 
 

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

Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
