The Hexagrams
19 Lin Approach
The Judgment
Approach has supreme success.
Perseverance furthers.
When the eighth month comes,
There will be misfortune.
The Image
The earth above the lake:
The image of Approach.
Thus the superior man is inexhaustible
In his will to teach,
And without limits
In his tolerance and protection of the people.

One becomes free of blame.

This is right for a great prince.
Good fortune.
