Stay Vigilant

Clothes in tatters. The wadded silk is soaked. Be careful till day is done. You are in the middle of an important passage. Be vigilant. Everything may feel clogged up now but have no fear. You are on the edge of the great move. What you are beginning will bring all you want. You are coupled with a creative force.

六四, 繻有衣袽, 終日戒.

Be careful all day long. ##### Comments In a time of flowering culture, an occasional convulsion is bound to occur, uncovering a hidden evil within society and at first causing a great sensation. But since the situation is favorable on the whole, such evils can easily be glossed over and concealed from the public. Then everything is forgotten and peace apparently reigns complacently once more. However, to the thoughtful man, such occurrences are grave omens that he does not neglect. This is the only way of averting evil consequences.
