Dedicate Wealth

A prince makes this sacrifice to the Son of Heaven. Small People cannot use or control it. Concentrate all you have and offer it to the highest principles. Do not simply adapt. Depend on the harmony of your people. Nothing can attack or control you now. This will reverse what feels like an oppressive situation. Great affluence will flow from this group. Co-operate with the ongoing process of change.

九三, 公用亨于天子, 小人弗克.

A prince offers it to the Son of Heaven. A petty man cannot do this. ##### Comments A magnanimous, liberal-minded man should not regard what he possesses as his exclusive personal property , but should place it at the disposal of the ruler or of the people at large. In so doing, he takes the right attitude toward his possession, which as private property can never endure. A petty man is incapable of this. He is harmed by great possessions, because instead of sacrificing them, he would keep them for himself.
