6. Conflict · 訟 六三
Line 3 of hexagram 6
In practice
What you've gained honestly can't be taken from you. Even if gossip comes up, don't be intimidated; hold firm.
The poetry
Feeding on old virtue. Constancy is in danger; in the end, good fortune. If it serves in the king's affairs, no achievement of its own.
六三：食舊德，貞厲，終吉。或從王事，无成。
象曰：食舊德，從上吉也。
