36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.

The changing lines

The fourth line:
Enter at the left front, capturing

the heart of smothered light.

Going in and out of gates and halls.
The sixth line:
Not a bright night.

First rise into the sky,

then plunge into the earth.

30 Brilliance

The Statement of the second hexagram

Brilliance. Gainful purity.
Continue.
Tame the bull: fortune.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

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

The Image of the second hexagram

Brightness doubled:
brilliance. The great person
spreads his brilliance
to illuminate
all four directions.
