Hexagram 57 · Line 6
The Gentle — 上六
Xun · Shang Liu
上六 · Shang Liu
The Line
Penetration under the bed. He loses his possessions and his axe. Perseverance brings misfortune.
Interpretation
The recognition is penetrating enough. One tracks harmful influences into their most secret corners. But one no longer has the strength to combat them decisively. In this case every attempt to penetrate into the personal realms of darkness is only evil.
