4. Immaturity · 蒙 初六
Line 1 of hexagram 4
In practice
You'll receive help, but you have to apply what you're told. Choose guides who demand a lot of you without being domineering.
The poetry
To wake the ignorant, it is favorable to use punishment and to take off the shackles. Going on this way: distress.
初六：發蒙，利用刑人，用說桎梏，以往吝。
象曰：利用刑人，以正法也。
