61. Inner Integrity · 中孚 六三

Line 3 of hexagram 61

In practice

If your security rests on other people's approval and acceptance, you'll ride emotional ups and downs and won't fully enjoy what you gain.

The poetry

Meets an adversary: now drumming, now stopping, now weeping, now singing.

六三:得敵,或鼓或罷,或泣或歌。

象曰:可鼓或罷,位不當也。
