57. Gentleness · 巽 初六
Line 1 of hexagram 57
In practice
Don't give in to indecision: going forward and back will delay your success. Right now firm, decisive action is better than wavering.
The poetry
Advancing and retreating. The constancy of the warrior is favorable.
初六：進退，利武人之貞。
象曰：進退，志疑也。利武人之貞，志治也。
