39. Held Back · 蹇 六二
Line 2 of hexagram 39
In practice
It's time to face the difficulties, which seem to grow as you advance. Still, if your actions go hand in hand with inner integrity, you'll succeed in the end.
The poetry
The king's servant, in hardship upon hardship, and not of their own doing.
六二：王臣蹇蹇，匪躬之故。
象曰：王臣蹇蹇，終无尤也。
