Hexagram 52 · 艮 gèn

Stopping · line 1

初六:艮其趾,无咎,利永貞。

The first line, divided, shows its subject keeping his toes at rest. There will be no error; but it will be advantageous for him to be persistently firm and correct.

James Legge, 1882

Hexagram 52 Stopping · Judgement

艮其背,不獲其身;行其庭,不見其人,无咎。

When one's resting is like that of the back, and he loses all consciousness of self; when he walks in his courtyard, and does not see any (of the persons) in it,—there will be no error.

James Legge, 1882
