Kuan / Contemplation (View)

above:The Gentle, Wind
below:K'un The Receptive, Earth

The sixth [nine], undivided, shows its subject contemplating his character to see if it indeed be that of a superior man. He will not fall into error.

There is a slight difference in the 6th paragraph from the 5th, which can hardly be expressed in a translation. By making a change in the punctuation, however, the different significance may be brought out. Line 6 is strong, should be considered out of the work of the hexagram, but its subject is still possessed by the spirit of its idea, and is led to self-examination.
