Should I continue current efforts despite exhaustion?
and received a response of:
20 Beholding
The Statement of the first hexagram
Behold! The hands have been washed,
but the offering has not yet been made.
Be sincere and dignified in appearance.
The changing lines
The first line:
Childish beholding is not wrong
for a common person, but it is wrong
for a superior person.
42 Increase
The Statement of the second hexagram
Increase. Gain by having a place to go.
Advance across the great river.
The Image of the first hexagram
The wind moving above
the earth: beholding.
The ancient kings
inspected the provinces
and territories to establish
the right teachings.
The Image of the second hexagram
Wind and thunder:
increase. The noble one
sees perfection
and shifts to fit its pattern,
and corrects his own faults.
