25 Innocence

The Statement of the first hexagram

Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.

The changing lines

The first line:
Innocence: from the first, all must be

pervasive, gainful, and pure.

Those without such truth suffer calamity

and do not gain no matter where they go.
The second line:
No new fields, no old fields:

it is better to go far away.
The third line:
Unexpected trouble:

a cow might be tethered by someone else.

The traveler gains, the townsman loses.
The fifth line:
Unexpected illness.

Recovery from sickness brings joy.

The Statement of the second hexagram

Cauldron.
Great fortune.
Continue.
 
 

The Image of the first hexagram

Thunder moves
under heaven: all the world
is innocent. The ancient
kings paid close attention
to the time
in nourishing
the myriad things.
 
 

The Image of the second hexagram

Fire on top of wood:
cauldron.
The noble one takes the
principal seat
to solidify his commands.
Could you stoke
the cauldron that feeds
all people?
