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 second line:
No new fields, no old fields:

it is better to go far away.
The fourth line:
If you can be upright,

there will be no fault.
The fifth line:
Unexpected illness.

Recovery from sickness brings joy.

41 Decrease

The Statement of the second hexagram

Decrease. Have confidence.

Great fortune. No fault

if one can be upright.

Gain by having a place to go.

How should one act?

Two square bamboo baskets

can be used in offering.
 
 

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

Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
