HEXAGRAM 39 – Chien – Obstruction

 

Above           K’AN   THE ABYSMAL, WATER

Below          KEN   KEEPING STILL, MOUNTAIN

 

The hexagram pictures

·         a dangerous abyss lying before us and

·         a steep, inaccessible mountain rising behind us. 

 

·         We are surrounded by obstacles;

at the same time, since the mountain has the attribute of keeping still, there is implicit

·         a hint as to how we can extricate ourselves. 

 

The hexagram represents

·         obstructions that appear in the course of time

·         but that

o   can and

o   should be

overcome. 

 

Therefore

all the instruction given is directed to overcoming them.

 

 

THE JUDGMENT

 

OBSTRUCCION. 

·         The southwest furthers. 

·         The northeast does not further. 

It furthers one to see the great man. 

Perseverance brings good fortune.

 

·         The southwest is the region of retreat,

·         the northeast that of advance. 

 

Here an individual is confronted

by obstacles that cannot be overcome directly. 

 

In such a situation it is wise

·         to pause in view of the danger and

·         to retreat.

 

However,

this is merely a preparation for overcoming the obstructions. 

 

One must

·         join forces with friends of like mind and

·         put himself under the leadership of a man equal to the situation:

then

one

·         will succeed in removing the obstacles. 

 

This requires the will to persevere

just when

one apparently must do something that leads away from his goal. 

 

This unswerving inner purpose brings good fortune in the end. 

 

An obstruction that lasts only for a time

is useful for self-development. 

 

This is the value of adversity.

 

 

THE IMAGE

 

Water on the mountain:

The image of OBSTRUCTION. 

Thus the superior man

·         turns his attention to himself And

·         molds his character.

 

·         Difficulties  and

·         obstructions

throw a man back upon himself. 

 

While

·         the inferior man

o   seeks to put the blame on other persons,

o   bewailing his fate,

·         the superior man

o   seeks the error within himself, and through this introspection the external obstacle

o   becomes for him an occasion for

§  inner enrichment and

§  education.

 

 

 

THE LINES

 

 

Six in the second place means: 

The king’s servant is beset by obstruction upon obstruction,

But it is not his own fault.

 

Ordinarily it is best to

·         go around an obstacle and

·         try to overcome it along the line of least resistance. 

 

But there is one instance in which

a man must go out to meet the trouble,

even though difficulty piles upon difficulty:

this is

when the path of duty leads directly to it – in other words,

when he

·         cannot act of his own volition

·         but is duty bound to

o   go and

o   seek out

danger in the service of a higher cause.

 

Then

he may do it without compunction,

because it is not through any fault of his that he is putting himself in this difficult situation.

 

 

 

Six at the top means:

·         Going leads to obstructions,

·         Coming leads to great good fortune. 

It furthers one to see the great man.

 

This refers to a man who has already left

·         the world and

·         its tumult

behind him. 

 

When the time of obstructions arrives,

it might seem that the simplest thing for him to do would be to

·         turn his back upon the world and

·         take refuge in the beyond. 

 

But this road is barred to him. 

 

He

·         must not seek his own salvation and

·         abandon the world to its adversity.

 

Duty calls him back once more into the turmoil of life. 

 

Precisely because of his experience and inner freedom,

he is able to create something both

·         great and

·         complete

that brings good fortune. 

 

And

 

it is favorable to see the great man in alliance with whom

one can achieve the work of rescue.

 

 

MOVING HEXAGRAM

 

HEXAGRAM 57 – Sun – The Gentle (The Penetrating, Wind)

 

Above           SUN   THE GENTLE, WIND, WOOD

Below           SUN   THE GENTLE, WIND, WOOD

 

Sun is one of the eight doubled trigrams. 

 

It

·         is the eldest daughter and

·         symbolizes wind or wood;

it

·         has for its attribute gentleness,

which nonetheless penetrates

·         like the wind or

·         like growing wood with its roots.

 

The dark principle,

in itself

·         rigid and

·         immovable,

is dissolved by the penetrating light principle,

to which

it subordinates itself in gentleness. 

 

1.   In nature,

it is the wind that disperses the gathered clouds,

leaving the sky clear and serene. 

2.   In human life

it is penetrating clarity of judgment

that thwarts all dark hidden motives. 

3.   In the life of the community

it is the powerful influence of a great personality

that uncovers and breaks up those intrigues which shun the light of day.

 

 

THE JUDGMENT

 

THE GENTLE. 

Success through what is small.

·         It furthers one to have somewhere to go.

·         It furthers one to see the great man.

 

Penetration produces

·         gradual and

·         inconspicuous

effects. 

 

It should be effected

·         not by an act of violation

·         but by influence that never lapses. 

 

·         Results of this kind

o   are less striking to the eye than those won by surprise attack,

but

·         they

o   are

§  more enduring and

§  more complete. 

 

If

·         one would produce such effects

o   one must have a dearly defined goal,

for only when

·         the penetrating influence works always in the same direction

o   can the object be attained. 

 

Small strength can achieve its purpose only by

subordinating itself to an eminent man

who is capable of creating order.

 

 

THE IMAGE

 

Winds following one upon the other:  The image of THE GENTLY PENETRATING.

Thus the superior man

·         Spreads his commands abroad And

·         carries out his undertakings.

 

The penetrating quality of the wind depends upon its ceaselessness. 

This is what makes it so powerful;

time is its instrument. 

 

In the same way

the ruler’s thought should penetrate the soul of the people.

 

This too requires

a lasting influence brought about by

·         enlightenment and

·         command. 

 

Only when

·         the command has been assimilated by the people

·         is action in accordance with it possible.  

 

Action without preparation of the ground only

·         frightens and

·         repels.
