48. Right Action · 井 九三

Line 3 of hexagram 48

In practice

You aren't using all your talents, and you have many, so the opportunities are there but you don't take them.

The poetry

The well is cleaned, and no one drinks: my heart aches. Water could be drawn. If the king were clear-sighted, all would share in the blessing.

九三:井渫不食,為我心惻,可用汲,王明,並受其福。

象曰:井渫不食,行惻也。求王明,受福也。
