Hexagram 19 · Line 3
Approach — 三六
Lin · San Liu
三六 · San Liu
The Line
Comfortable Approach. Nothing that would further. If one grieves over it, one becomes without blame.
Interpretation
Things go happily forward. One comes to power and influence. But this holds the danger that, trusting in one's position, one comes to feel comfortable and lets this comfortable-careless mood come out in dealings with people. This is harmful in any case. But the possibility of a reversal of mood is there. If one feels grief over this wrong attitude, if one feels the responsibility contained in an influential position, one becomes free of faults.
