how did he feel when he came to n and i wasn't there?
and received a response of:
4 Youth
The Statement of the first 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 changing lines
The second line:
To have the joy of holding your own child,
take a wife. It will lead to fortune:
your children will lead the family.
The third line:
It is useless to marry a woman
who loses herself when she sees
a golden man.
The fifth line:
An innocent and naive youth:
fortunate.
The sixth line:
Nothing is gained by beating a youth.
That is the way to treat raiders.
We gain by preventing misdeeds.
39 Hindered
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain in the west and south.
No gain in the east and north.
Gain by seeing the great person.
Pure fortune.
The Image of the first hexagram
A spring gushes
below a mountain:
the naive youth.
The noble one nourishes virtue
with determination.
The Image of the second hexagram
Water on top of the
mountain: hindered.
The noble one
turns inward
to cultivate virtue.
