What is the reason for my c?
and received a response of:
9 Smallness Tames
The Statement of the first hexagram
Smallness tames. Persevere.
Dense clouds, no rain
at my western border.
The changing lines
The first line:
Return to your own Way.
How can this be wrong?
The fourth line:
Have confidence. Bloodletting is past,
alarm has gone. No fault.
The fifth line:
Have confidence. Entwine
with your neighbor for wealth.
50 Cauldron
The Statement of the second hexagram
Cauldron.
Great fortune.
Continue.
The Image of the first hexagram
Wind moving high
in heaven: smallness tames.
The noble one acts
with restraint, culture,
and morals.
The Image of the second hexagram
Fire on top of wood:
cauldron.
The noble one takes the
principal seat
to solidify his commands.
Could you stoke
the cauldron that feeds
all people?
