Hexagram 14 · Line 5
Great Possession — 五九
Da You · Wu Jiu
五九 · Wu Jiu
The Line
Whose truth is accessible and yet worthy has good fortune.
Interpretation
The situation is very favorable. Without outer compulsion, merely through unsought sincerity, one wins people over so that they too are devoted to one in sincere truth. But in the time of Possession in Great Measure, mildness alone is not enough. Otherwise presumption could easily arise. This arising of presumption must be held in check by dignity; then good fortune is certain.
