60. Limitation to 29. Danger

Changing lines

1. Line 1

   The first line, dynamic, shows its subject not quitting the courtyard outside his door. There will be no error. Line one is dynamic in a dynamic place, and therefore has the power to move. But he is kept in check by the dynamic second line, and his fourth line correlate occupies the first position in the trigram of Peril. He therefore knows when he has free course and when he is obstructed, and in this case the course of wisdom is to keep still. He regulates himself by a consideration of the times. The Daily Lecture says that the line tells an officer not to take office rashly, but to exercise a cautious judgment in his measures.

The present judgment

Restrictive Regulations bring progress and success, but if they are severe and difficult they cannot be permanent.

The later judgment

The trigram of Danger, here repeated, shows the possession of sincerity, through which the mind is penetrating. Action in accordance with this will be of high value.
