36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.

The changing lines

The fourth line:
Enter at the left front, capturing

the heart of smothered light.

Going in and out of gates and halls.
The fifth line:
The smothered light of Jizi:

gainful virtue.

49 Reform

The Statement of the second hexagram

Reform: on one's own day,

confidence is won-

making, pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Regrets vanish.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Brilliance
in the earth's core:
smothered light.
The noble one
governs the multitude
by obscurity-
but with enlightenment.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire in the middle of the
lake: reform. The noble one
orders the calendar
by the seasons.
