Trust in the commands. Be stern.
There will be severity.
Announce to your own city.
There is no gain in going to war.
Gain by having a place to go.

62 Small Crossing
The Statement of the second hexagram
Small crossing. Continue for gainful purity.
Small matters can be done,
but not large matters.

it is unsuitable to go high-
the suitable is below.
Great fortune.

The Image of the first hexagram
Lake rising to heaven:

and shuns dwelling
on his own virtues.

more than enough
economy.
