Nourishment — 五六

The Line

Interpretation

One is conscious of a lack. One should provide for the nourishment of people, but one has not the strength to do so. Thus one must deviate from the accustomed path and ask advice and help from a spiritually superior but outwardly unassuming person. If one nurtures this disposition perseveringly, one has success and good fortune. Only one must remain conscious of one's dependence. One must not come forth with one's own person and try to undertake great works like crossing the great water.
