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.
26 Great Restraint
The Statement of the second hexagram
Gain by being upright.
Not eating at home brings fortune.
Advance across the great river.
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
Heaven in the center of a
mountain: great restraint.
The noble one
frequently studies
the words and prophesies
of the past, and thereby
nourishes virtue.
