Coming to Meet — 上六

The Line

Interpretation

When one has withdrawn from the world, the bustle of the world often becomes unbearable to one. There are often people who, in noble pride, hold themselves away from everything lowly and abruptly push it back when it comes to meet them. Such people are scolded as proud and inaccessible, but since they are no longer bound to the world through the duties of action, this is no great matter. They know how to bear the dislike of the masses with composure.
