Endure Difficulty

Provide for this. Trial: affliction. Fix the omen and you will not die. This is a hard time. If you can see into the cause, the wisdom you gather will provide for you. The inner work you are doing now will call out to others. Open your heart. The new energy will carry you through. Gather the people in ranks and step out to meet the new destiny. All will be well in the end. Gather energy for the decisive new move.

六五, 貞疾, 恒不死.

However, this pressure has its advantage--it prevents him from consuming his powers in empty enthusiasm. Thus constant pressure can actually serve to keep one alive.
