19. Fleeting Success · 臨 六三

Line 3 of hexagram 19

In practice

Relying too much on favorable situations will lead you to inertia and loss. If you react early, you can recover.

The poetry

Drawing near with sweetness. Nothing is favorable. Once grieved by it, no fault.

六三:甘臨,无攸利。既憂之,无咎。

象曰:甘臨,位不當也。既憂之,咎不長也。
