36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the second hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Mountains in the middle
of the earth: humility.
The wise person
takes from the ample
to add to the meager,
weighing and balancing
fairly.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
