25 Innocence

The Statement of the first hexagram

Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.

The changing lines

The third line:
Unexpected trouble:

a cow might be tethered by someone else.

The traveler gains, the townsman loses.
The fourth line:
If you can be upright,

there will be no fault.
The sixth line:
Unexpected action brings disaster.

No place will be gainful.

63 Already Across

The Statement of the second hexagram

Already across. Continue.

Small gain: be steadfast.

In the beginning, fortune.

At the end, disorder.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Water on top of fire:
already across. The wise
one prepares for calamity
by forethought.
