Random Bookshelf Reading 47

Random Bookshelf Reading 47

Question:  Today?

Answer:  "53 Jian. Developing Gradually
(2) Second Six. Developing Gradually alternates to Proceeding Humbly (57)
  The second line is a yin element at a yin place, central and correct.  Thus, the Yao Text says, "The swan approaches the cliff."  A cliff is a safe haven for birds.   This yin element responds to the yang element at the fifth place.  The fifth place is the supreme place for a king.  One at the fifth place is willing to support him and supply him with a good living.  The one at the second line is an honest person who would not reap without sowing.  His work deserves his earnings.  There is good fortune." (p.423)
