40. Clearing Obstacles · 解 六五
Line 5 of hexagram 40
In practice
It's time for decisive action that keeps you away from the wrong people and situations. You do this by ignoring them and paying them no attention while you build up your inner strength.
The poetry
The noble person need only get free: good fortune. There is sincere trust, even before the petty person.
六五：君子維有解，吉；有孚于小人。
象曰：君子有解，小人退也。
