"Po indicates that (in the state which it symbolises) it will not be "
"advantageous to make movement in any direction whatever."

"1. The first line, divided, shows one overturning the couch by "
"injuring its legs. (The injury will go on to ) the destruction of "
"(all) firm correctness, and there will be evil. "
" "
"2. The second line, divided, shows one overthrowing the couch by "
"injuring its frame. (The injury will go on to) the destruction of"
"(all) firm correctness, and there will be evil. "
" "
"3. The third line, divided, shows its subject among the overthrowers; "
"but there will be no evil. "
" "
"4. The fourth line, divided, shows its subject having overthrown the "
"couch, and (going to injure) the skin (of him who lies on it). "
"There will be evil. "
" "
"5. The fifth line, divided, shows (its subject leading on the others "
"like) a string of fishes, and (obtaining for them) the favour that "
"lights on the inmates of the palace. Ther will be advantage in "
"every way. "
" "
"6. The topmost line, undivided, shows its subject (as) a great fruit "
"which has not been eaten. The superior man finds (the people again) "
"as a chariot carrying him. The small men (by their course) overthrow "
"their own dwellings. "

" A mountain rests firmly on the earth but this is a stable situation only"
" so long as its base rests broadly to support the summit. In the affairs"
" of Man, when those at the top grow too high and sharply separated from"
" the rest of humanity, the weakness at the base of society will cause the"
" whole of the society to slowly crumble. A broad and generous base is"
" necessary for survival."
