33. Leaving Behind · 遯 九四
Line 4 of hexagram 33
In practice
You need to leave this road behind without clinging and without regret, sure that it's the right thing. Otherwise, even if you let go, a grieving heart will keep you from opening up to what's new.
The poetry
A retreat with affection. For the noble person, good fortune; for the petty person, not so.
九四：好遯君子吉，小人否。
象曰：君子好遯，小人否也。
