62. Success in Small Matters · 小過 上六
Line 6 of hexagram 62
In practice
If you insist on chasing goals that are out of reach for now, you'll lose whatever you put into them.
The poetry
Not meeting it, goes past it. The bird in flight falls into the net. Misfortune. This is called calamity and ruin.
上六：弗遇過之，飛鳥離之，凶，是謂災眚。
象曰：弗遇過之，已亢也。
