Hexagram 46 · Line 6

Pushing Upward上六

Sheng · Shang Liu

上六 · Shang Liu

The Line

Pushing upward in darkness. It is favorable to be unremittingly persevering.

Interpretation

Whoever pushes upward blindly is inwardly deluded. They know only advance, not retreat. In doing so they exhaust themself. What is important is in such a case to be unremittingly mindful that one must be and remain conscientious and consistent. Only thus does one become free of blind urge, which is always evil.
