The Hexagrams
52 Ko'^e'n Keeping Still, Mountain
The Judgment
Keeping Still. Keeping his back still
So that he no longer feels his body.
He goes into his courtyard
And does not see his people.
No blame.
The Image
Mountains standing close together:
The image of Keeping Still.
Thus the superior man
Does not permit his thoughts
To go beyond his situation.
Six at the beginning means:
Keeping his toes still.
No blame.
Continued perseverance furthers.
Six in second place means:
Keeping his calves still.
He cannot rescue him whom he follows.
His heart is not glad.
Nine in third place means:
Keeping his hips still.
Making his sacrum stiff.
Dangerous. The heart suffocates.
Six in fourth place means:
Keeping his trunk still.
No blame.
Six in fifth place means:
Keeping his jaws still.
The words have order.
Remorse disappears.
Nine at the top means:
* Noblehearted keeping still.
Good fortune.
