47. Overwhelmed · 困 六三
Line 3 of hexagram 47
In practice
Facing obstacles with weakness and complaints won't move you forward; on the contrary, it will sink you deeper.
The poetry
Hard pressed by stone, leaning on thorns. Enters the house and does not see the wife. Misfortune.
六三：困于石，據于蒺藜，入于其宮，不見其妻，凶。
象曰：據于蒺藜，乘剛也。入于其宮，不見其妻，不祥也。
