What is hindering me, please.?
and received a response of:
10 Walking
The Statement of the first hexagram
Walking on a tiger's tail:
it does not bite.
Continue.
The changing lines
The first line:
Walking forward in austerity
is without blame.
The second line:
Walking the calm and level Way.
The recluse is pure. Fortune.
The third line:
The one-eyed can see. The lame can walk.
But they walk on the tiger's tail
and are bitten. Misfortune
when a warrior shams as a prince.
33 Withdrawal
The Statement of the second hexagram
Withdrawal. Continue.
Small gains in persisting.
The Image of the first hexagram
Heaven above, lake below:
walking. The noble one
distinguishes high and low
to fix the people's purpose.
The Image of the second hexagram
A mountain under heaven:
withdrawal.
The noble one keeps
distant from vile people,
not with hatred,
but with dignity.
