\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HEXAGRAM 60 \u2013 Chieh – Limitation<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Above\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>K’AN\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>THE ABYSMAL, WATER <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Below\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>TUI\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>THE JOYOUS, LAKE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A lake occupies a limited space.\u00a0 <\/span>When more water comes into it, it overflows.\u00a0 <\/span>Therefore limits must be set for the water. The image shows water below and water above, with the firmament between them as a limit.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Chinese word for limitation really denotes the joints that divide a bamboo stalk.\u00a0 <\/span>In relation to ordinary life it means the thrift that sets fixed limits upon expenditures.\u00a0 <\/span>In relation to the moral sphere it means the fixed limits that the superior man sets upon his actions – the limits of loyalty and disinterestedness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

LIMITATION.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Success.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Galling limitation must not be persevered in.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Limitations are troublesome, but they are effective.\u00a0 <\/span>If we live economically in normal times, we are prepared for times of want.\u00a0 <\/span>To be sparing saves us from humiliation.\u00a0 <\/span>Limitations are also indispensable in the regulation of world conditions.\u00a0 <\/span>In nature there are fixed limits for summer and winter, day and night, and these limits give the year its meaning.\u00a0 <\/span>In the same way, economy, by setting fixed limits upon expenditures, acts to preserve property and prevent injury to the people.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

But in limitation we must observe due measure. If a man should seek to impose galling limitations upon his own nature, it would be injurious.\u00a0 <\/span>And if he should go too far in imposing limitations on others, they would rebel.\u00a0 <\/span>Therefore it is necessary to set limits even upon limitations<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Water over lake: the image of LIMITATION. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the superior man<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Creates number and measure, <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

And examines the nature of virtue and correct conduct.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A lake is something limited.\u00a0 <\/span>Water is inexhaustible.\u00a0 <\/span>A lake can contain only a definite amount of the infinite quantity of water; this is its peculiarity.\u00a0 <\/span>In human life too the individual achieves significance through discrimination and the setting of limits.\u00a0 <\/span>Therefore what concerns us here is the problem of clearly defining these discriminations, which are, so to speak, the backbone of morality.\u00a0 <\/span>Unlimited possibilities are not suited to man; if they existed, his life would only dissolve in the boundless.\u00a0 <\/span>To become strong, a man’s life needs the limitations ordained by duty and voluntarily accepted.\u00a0 <\/span>The individual attains significance as a free spirit only by surrounding himself with these limitations and by determining for himself what his duty is.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE LINES<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Six in the fourth place means: <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Contented limitation.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Success.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Every limitation has its value, but a limitation that requires persistent effort entails a cost of too much energy.\u00a0 <\/span>When, however, the limitation is a natural one (as for example, the limitation by which water flows only downhill), it necessarily leads to success, for then it means a saving of energy.\u00a0 <\/span>The energy that otherwise would be consumed in a vain struggle with the object, is applied wholly to the benefit of the matter in hand, and success is assured.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

HEXAGRAM 58 \u2013 Tui – The Joyous, Lake<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Above\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>TUI\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>THE JOYOUS, LAKE <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Below\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>TUI\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 <\/span>THE JOYOUS, LAKE<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This hexagram, like Sun, is one of the eight formed by doubling of a trigram.\u00a0 <\/span>The trigram Tui denotes the youngest daughter; it is symbolized by the smiling lake, and its attribute is joyousness.\u00a0 <\/span>Contrary to appearances, it is not the yielding quality of the top line that accounts for joy here.\u00a0 <\/span>The attribute of the yielding or dark principle is not joy but melancholy.\u00a0 <\/span>However, JOY is indicated by the fact that there are two strong lines within, expressing themselves through the medium of gentleness.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

True joy, therefore, rests on firmness and strength within, manifesting itself outwardly as yielding and gentle.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JUDGMENT<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE JOYOUS.<\/span>\u00a0 <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Success. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Perseverance is favorable.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The joyous mood is infectious and therefore brings success.\u00a0 <\/span>But joy must be based on steadfastness if it is not to degenerate into uncontrolled mirth.\u00a0 <\/span>Truth and strength must dwell in the heart, while gentleness reveals itself in social intercourse.\u00a0 <\/span>In this way one assumes the right attitude toward God and man and achieves something.\u00a0 <\/span>Under certain conditions, intimidation without gentleness may achieve something momentarily, but not for all time.\u00a0 <\/span>When, on the other hand, the hearts of men are won by friendliness, they are led to take all hardships upon themselves willingly, and if need be will not shun death itself, so great is the power of joy over men.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

THE IMAGE<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Lakes resting one on the other:\u00a0 <\/span>The image of THE JOYOUS. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus the superior man joins with his friends <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

For discussion and practice.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A lake evaporates upward and thus gradually dries up; but when two lakes are joined they do not dry up so readily, for one replenishes the other.\u00a0 <\/span>It is the same in the field of knowledge.\u00a0 <\/span>Knowledge should be a refreshing and vitalizing force.\u00a0 <\/span>It becomes so only through stimulating intercourse with congenial friends with whom one holds discussion and practices application of the truths of life.\u00a0 <\/span>In this way learning becomes many-sided and takes on a cheerful lightness, whereas there is always something ponderous and one-sided about the learning of the self-taught.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
