11. Well-Being · 泰 九三

Line 3 of hexagram 11

In practice

There will be ups and downs. Don't despair: enjoy the calm moments and act with caution in the face of danger.

The poetry

No plain without a slope, no going without return. Constancy in hardship: no fault. Do not grieve over its truth; in eating there is blessing.

九三:无平不陂,无往不復,艱貞无咎。勿恤其孚,于食有福。

象曰:无往不復,天地際也。
