please show what is his purpose on me?
and received a response of:
34 Great Vigor
The Statement of the first hexagram
Great vigor, gainful purity.
The changing lines
The fourth line:
Pure fortune. Regrets vanish.
The hedge breaks: entanglement is gone.
Strong as a great car's axle blocks.
The sixth line:
A ram butts the hedge and cannot pull out
or escape. No place is gainful.
First difficulty, then fortune.
26 Great Restraint
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
The Image of the first hexagram
Thunder in heaven above:
great vigor. The noble one
is never without reverence
and does not fail
in conduct.
The Image of the second hexagram
Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
