Ming I / Darkening of the Light

above: K'un The Receptive, Earth
below: Li The Clinging, Flame

The Judgement

Darkening of the Light. In adversity
It furthers one to be persevering.

The Image

The light has sunk into the earth:
The image of Darkening of the Light.
Thus does the superior man live with the great mass:
He veils his light, yet still shines.
