Read a record of the questions asked of I Ching, read the response, and read the comments of others

what is the path I need to return to?
and received a response of:
40 Releasing
The Statement of the first hexagram
Gain in the west and south.
No cause to move forward-
then comes return, and fortune.
To have a place to go: dawn fortune.
The changing lines
The fifth line:
The superior one rules by releasing. Fortune.
One has the confidence
of the common people.
The sixth line:
The duke uses this chance to shoot a hawk
from the top of the ramparts.
Nothing but gain in capturing.
6 Dispute
The Statement of the second hexagram
Dispute: keep confident
even if blocked and alarmed.
In the middle, good fortune,
but in the end, misfortune.
Gain by seeing a great person.
Do not advance across the great river.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder and rain act:
releasing.
The noble one
pardons errors
and forgives offenses.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven and water clash:
dispute. The noble one
devises the right beginning
in all matters.
