    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.
