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.
