36 Smothered Light

The Statement of the first hexagram

Smothered light.

Gain is difficult: persist.

The changing lines

The first line:
Smothered light in flight, hanging wings.

The wise one travels and has no food

for three days, but finds the destination:

the host responds.
The second line:
Smothered light: injury in the left thigh.

Exert horselike strength to rescue.

Fortunate.

46 Rising

The Statement of the second hexagram

Rising. Great continuing.

Act now to see the great person.

Do not be distressed. Advance southward:

fortune.
 
 

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

Wood growing in the
center of the land: rising.
The noble one is mild,
gradually raising what is
tiny into the tall and great.
