42. Increase · 益 六三

Line 3 of hexagram 42

In practice

Good fortune surrounds you: even in situations that might seem hard, there are hidden blessings. What matters is doing things the right way.

The poetry

Increased through unhappy events. No fault. There is sincere trust; walking the middle way, they come before the duke with the jade tablet.

六三:益之用凶事,无咎。有孚中行,告公用圭。

象曰:益用凶事,固有之也。
