62. Success in Small Matters · 小過 九四

Line 4 of hexagram 62

In practice

It's not the time to act, but it is the time to stand firm, without straying from your purposes, until the time to act arrives.

The poetry

No fault. Without going beyond, it meets it. Going is dangerous: be on guard. Do not act with lasting constancy.

九四:无咎,弗過遇之。往厲必戒,勿用永貞。

象曰:弗過遇之,位不當也。往厲必戒,終不可長也。
