Any advive for this morning?
and received a response of:
52 Stilling
The Statement of the first hexagram
One stills one's back
and does not move one's body.
There is movement in one's courtyard,
but one does not see one's people.
No fault.
The changing lines
The first line:
Stilling one's feet. No fault.
Gain through everlasting virtue.
The second line:
Stilling one's calves.
One cannot raise one's followers.
One's heart is unhappy.
The third line:
Stilling one's waist.
Splitting the muscles of the back.
Cruelty smokes one's heart.
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
Doubled mountains:
stillness.
The noble one
does not consider matters
beyond his position.
The Image of the second hexagram
Lake below mountain:
decrease. The noble one
halts his anger
and curbs his desires.
