42. Increase · 益 六二
Line 2 of hexagram 42
In practice
Your inner qualities are rewarded with gains and favors from people in power.
The poetry
Someone adds to it: a tortoise worth ten strings of shells cannot go against it. Lasting constancy brings good fortune. The king makes an offering to the Lord on High: good fortune.
六二：或益之，十朋之龜弗克違，永貞吉。王用享于帝，吉。
象曰：或益之，自外來也。
