40. Clearing Obstacles · 解 六三
Line 3 of hexagram 40
In practice
If you act high-handed and boast about your achievements, exaggerating them, you'll draw quarrels and envy that threaten to take away what you've gained.
The poetry
Carries a load on the back and rides in a carriage: this brings raiders. Constancy brings distress.
六三：負且乘，致寇至，貞吝。
象曰：負且乘，亦可丑也，自我致戎，又誰咎也。
