Why did he refuse to acknowledge her?
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 fourth line:
Stilling his trunk.
No fault.
The sixth line:
Deep and honest stillness.
Fortunate.
55 Plentiful
The Statement of the second hexagram
Plentiful. Progress.
The great king arrives. Do not grieve.
All is right as the midday sun.
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
Thunder and lightning
come fully: plentiful.
The wise one decides
lawsuits and applies
punishments.
