36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.

The changing lines

The first line:
Smothered light in flight, hanging wings.

The wise one travels and has no food

for three days, but finds the destination:

the host responds.
The fourth line:
Enter at the left front, capturing

the heart of smothered light.

Going in and out of gates and halls.
The fifth line:
The smothered light of Jizi:

gainful virtue.

31 Feeling

The Statement of the second hexagram

Feeling. Pervasive

with gainful purity.

Taking a spouse brings 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

Lake on a mountain:
feeling.
The noble one
accepts people openly.
