Hexagram 19 · Line 6

Approach上九

Lin · Shang Jiu

上九 · Shang Jiu

The Line

Greathearted Approach. Good fortune. No blame.

Interpretation

A sage who has overcome the world and is inwardly already done with life may, under certain circumstances, come into the position of coming back once more into this world and approaching other people. This is of great good fortune for the other people, to whom they extend their teaching and help. But also for themself, this greathearted self-humbling is no blame.
