47. Overwhelmed · 困 九五
Line 5 of hexagram 47
In practice
Little by little things will improve, thanks to your habit of helping others. Spiritual resources will be a great help now.
The poetry
Nose cut off, feet cut off. Hard pressed by the red sash. Little by little relief comes. It is favorable to make sacrifices.
九五：劓刖，困于赤紱，乃徐有說，利用祭祀。
象曰：劓刖，志未得也。乃徐有說，以中直也。利用祭祀，受福也。
