36. Darkness · 明夷 六四
Line 4 of hexagram 36
In practice
You'll be allowed to see the causes of the hard situations you're facing. This will help you act quickly and withdraw to safe ground before adversity takes complete control.
The poetry
It enters the left side of the belly; it reaches the heart of the wounded light and goes out through the courtyard gate.
六四：入于左腹，獲明夷之心，于出門庭。
象曰：入于左腹，獲心意也。
