[Original text]
"Six three: Ganlin; no benefit, if you worry about it, there is no blame.
"Xiang" says: Ganlin, the position is inappropriate. Even if you worry about it, there is no long-term blame."
——" I Ching·Di Ze Lin Gua"
[Translation]
Sixty-three: Treat those who come with a gentle attitude; if there is no benefit, if you are already worried about it, there will be no disaster.
" Xiangzhuan " says: Treating those who come with a gentle attitude is because the position is inappropriate. Already worried about this, the disaster will not last long.
[Note]
① This article is the content of the sixty-three lines of the hexagram ‘地泽林’.
②‘Gan’ means sweet and gentle. Because the sixty-three lines are in the mutual relationship between the three, four, and five lines, Kun is earth and tastes sweet; the lower hexagram is the hexagram, and the hexagram is the mouth; there is sweetness in the mouth, which is very gentle.
Five Elements: Water, Fire, Wood, Metal, Earth
Five Flavors: Salty, Bitter, Sour, Pungent, Sweet
Five Things: Hearing, Seeing, Appearance, Speech, Thinking
'Lin' refers to the coming of the Ninety-Two Yao Yang Yao .
"improper position" is because the Yin Yao of the 63rd Yao is in a rigid position (not correct); the Yang Yao (Ninety-two Yao) will continue to go up, and the 63rd Yao will be the first to bear the brunt.
③ "Already worried" means that because the sixth and third lines do not correspond to the previous six lines, you are already worried about your own situation; even if there is a disaster, it will not last long (the blame does not last long).
