Regardless of your position in society, humility is a deceptively powerful force. If you are in a high position but remain humble, those around you will support you. If your social status is low, humility will allow you to achieve higher status. True humility is a virtue that benefits all, to which all should strive.

The most successful people are those who know how to balance situations. Such a person strives for balanced and stable relationships, and not for power over others. Humility is a virtue that allows you to balance in any situation. Humble people are not deluded by self-importance.

Line interpretation:

Line 1 (bottom line)

Arrogant people create unnecessary obstacles for themselves when faced with an important task. First, worrying about how they will be perceived or valued becomes an additional barrier to completing the task. On the other hand, the lowly attitude that accompanies humility supports the ability to pay more attention to detail. While arrogant people worry about other people's looks or opinions, humble people focus on what needs to be done. Make no claims or make conditions and you will meet no resistance.

Deep humility is a gift for all.

There is no sadder picture than a man impressed by his own fame, beauty, or brilliance. The success of such people is usually short-lived, because some degree of simple humanity is required to maintain positive results. One of the most noble achievements is when a person who, despite great success, maintains his humility.

Beware of false modesty. Even humility can be exaggerated. People in modest positions sometimes use false modesty as an excuse for being weak or indecisive. True humility does not mean having modest goals or disinterest in the cause.

The wise do not hesitate to take desperate measures when circumstances require it. When a responsible person takes bold action, he or she tries to take it not out of a sense of self-importance, but simply because the situation calls for it. In difficult situations, make sure objectivity and clarity of purpose matches your position. And, as soon as the battle is won, as an honorary warrior, get lost back in the crowd.

Line 6 (top line)

When mistakes are made and judgment strikes as suddenly as the north wind, we usually blame everything around us. Those who lack humility immediately raise their shields, thus hiding the truth from their own eyes. The weak are offended and shrink in doubt and self-pity. But the sincere and humble see the situation as a challenge to be met—first by examining themselves internally to determine their role in creating the current situation, and then by having the courage to act decisively but fairly, correcting mistakes. Humility is a true sign of nobility and always promises good luck.

In the Book of Changes there is a clear, rigid gradation of all people into "noble" and "low". A person who has a certain set of positive character traits and fulfills certain norms of behavior is considered noble, and therefore initially happy.

In the Discourse on a Hundred Diseases, Lao Jun notes that the cause of all ailments lies in transgressions, which may at first be insignificant and seem harmless, but, as they accumulate, turn into a catastrophe and take the form of serious physical ailments. The "Reasoning" lists 100 negative behavioral disorders, 100 causes of disease. Here is some of them:

"1. To be unsteady in joy and anger is sickness.
2. To strive for pleasures, destroying the moral force-te - is a disease.
3. To concentrate all the forces of your heart in one love is a disease.
4. Humiliating people, elevating yourself is a disease.
5. Using power to create arbitrariness is a disease.
6. Being strong and influential, indulging in laziness is a disease.
7. In speeches, striving for victory over a person is a disease.
8. Considering people crooked, and yourself straight - this is a disease.
9. Praising yourself for your merits is a disease.
10. To flaunt your moral strength is a disease.
11. Discussing the right or wrong of other people is a disease.
12. To determine the merits and demerits of other people is a disease.

In other words, any deviation from the rules in thinking, reasoning or actions, lack of humility and tolerance are harmful, first of all to the person himself. His fate can no longer be happy and harmonious. Therefore, the answer to any question asked can be the wording: "You have reached high level well-being, you know how to present yourself in a favorable light, you have learned to defend your territory and are not afraid to meet new victories, patrons and influential people are happy to communicate with you, you are included in selected circles. Be humble, do not exaggerate your "I".

Politeness, simplicity, nobility, respect for the less fortunate are the basic rules of your behavior.

In your personal life, expect successful relationships, reciprocity and trust, you understand each other without words. Boast less and demonstrate love happiness to others. How often young people regret that they aroused the envy of friends with immoderate stories about their luck, attention, gifts. As a result, rivals appeared, intriguers who wanted to break the union, ready to go as far as the use of ritual magic.

Possession of a great wealth, the entirety of the world, could be the ultimate goal if the world were allowed to stop. But the main position is the doctrine of variability, the continuous mobility of the world and how a person should be harmoniously included in this movement. Therefore, a stop in development is not a stop, a lag that causes conflict with world development. Therefore, if you stop even at a height greatest achievements, then even in such a stop there will be no correct attitude to the world. But it is no longer possible to move forward in a straight line, because everything that needed to be achieved was achieved at the previous stage. Therefore, only complete failure from what has already been achieved can guarantee the possibility of further development, keeping pace with the development of the world. Such a necessary rejection of personal achievements is called "humility" and is expressed in the form of the hexagram itself, in which the sign of the mountain is placed under the sign of the earth. The mountain should generally rise above the earth, then in this the image of humility is expressed with the utmost brevity. Such a situation should not frighten a person, because only in it is further development possible here, and this development must be fruitful: it must be brought to an end, to completion. In this sense, the text says: Humility. Development. A noble person is about to finish.

1

At the first step, humility is shown in its most intense, but also in its most general form. Therefore, it is impossible to concretize it in a specific way. It is possible only to point out that a person with this property will have to overcome enormous difficulties, because thanks to this property he is predisposed to such overcoming. This is understandable, because here the given property is considered in its unrevealed state, and therefore its practical application is not indicated; on the other hand, judging by the composition of the Book of Changes, it is inherent in a person who has already achieved tremendous results in the previous stages and is therefore capable of overcoming the greatest difficulties. The text expresses it this way: In the beginning, a weak line. The humblest of the humble noble man. He has to wade across the great river. Happiness.

2

In the second position, something like a conflict arises between the specifics of the entire hexagram (humility, i.e., not being revealed, retreating into the shadows, etc.) and the nature of the second position, the meaning of which is that internal qualities are revealed on it. The resolution of this contradiction is also influenced by the fact that this position precedes the next one, in which the content of the concept of humility is most intensely manifested. As a result, it turns out that the revelation of an internal property still occurs here, but this property is humility, i.e. that which cannot express itself, but is expressed only in self-giving, in consonance with that which expresses itself. At the same time, the harmony of development here can be easily violated by the fact that the attention paid to the expression of one's own property will be stronger than the property itself - humility: not expressing oneself in the first place. Therefore, only steadfast and unshakable humility leads to a happy outcome here, or, as the text says: The weak trait is in second place. Consistent humility. Resilience is a blessing.

3

The moment of crisis is already expressed here in the very image of the trigram. In the image of the "mountain" the third feature, as the most exalted, depicts the specifics of the towering mountain. But it is at this position that the contact of the "mountain" with the "earth" takes place, and it is precisely the highest point of the mountain with the lower region of the earth. Thus, the content of humility appears here with particular force; but precisely because of this, and for the possession of such humility, the greatest effort is necessary. Only by intense labor is humility achieved; it can truly be expressed in the image of a mountain (its meaning is to rise), but bent below the earth, which should be below everything. And only a person who has such developed humility can bring his work to the end and, having done everything that is required by time and position, stand in right attitude to world fulfillment, i.e. achieve happiness. Such a person, if for himself, has already achieved in the past complete victory over all evil, then here he again enters into a struggle with him, in order to set an example for others by his struggle. Therefore, the text also says: Strong feature in third place. Humility from his labors, a noble person will have to complete (his deeds). Happiness.

4

We have seen that the property of the previous position is affected by the property of the second position. But in the third position, this property is developed only through certain efforts. At the fourth position, it has already been worked out, and if at the previous stage humility turned out to act outward as a result of efforts (which stands in accordance with the symbol of the trait), then here (where the position is occupied by a weak trait), the impact of force and coercion is no longer possible. But in the fourth position, the very presence of a developed property can have an impact on something else. This property acts as a fascinating example. Therefore, all actions here are free and do not encounter any obstacles. That's why the text also says: Weak trait in fourth place. Nothing inauspicious. Alluring humility.

5

Properties expressed in the third position found support in their environment. From the inside there acted "consonant humility", creating a resonance, from the outside there acted "enticing humility", which is only a further development of the properties of the third step. Here, on the fifth position, the circumstances are different: the fourth position acts from within, devoid of its own forces, and the sixth, which, as a rule, already symbolizes the loss of the properties of this hexagram, acts outside. Therefore, it is impossible to expect support from the environment, from the "neighbors". Activity here is possible only as a completely independent activity. But by virtue of the whole previous process, the quality of humility has already been brought to such fullness and perfection that even for actions opposite to the action of humility, the latter is still the most characteristic, and therefore even such an activity does not conflict with the general situation and does not encounter anything unfavorable. her. It finds in the text following expression: Weak trait in fifth place. You will not get rich from your neighbors. Favorable is the need to make a punitive attack. Nothing inauspicious.

6

In the sixth position, the situation and its character traits come to an end, lose their specificity. So here, humility remains only as an echo of the past, those works that are mentioned in the third position. On the other hand, the aggressiveness that began in the previous, fifth position, here receives even greater development, especially as the need to subjugate what has gone out of obedience, because here neither the power of effort, as in the third position, nor the temptation of an example, as in the fourth, no longer work. Here the main tone of humility only sounds, but does not act, and the restriction emanating from humility recedes, because it must give way to a further situation of Liberty, which is characterized by the absence of restrictions. Therefore, the situation here is conducive to actions that are far from humility. This is expressed in the text as follows: Above is a weak line. Sounding humility. Favors the need to move troops and go to cities and kingdoms.

Fulfillment and self-giving in the outer, Staying and firmness in the inner. Inviolability is something that can end only by chance, something that does not end by itself, and in combination with complete predestination in the external, this is humility. But humility is submission not to another person, but to fate and the natural course of events. And if there is an appropriate situation, then it is favorable to attack and attack.

Haislip interpretation

The fallen snow to the very ground bent a branch of a tree; but soon everything will change and she will straighten up again. Your circumstances are now moderately favorable. But you can become the master of the situation if you show restraint. Failures, including financial ones, give you anxiety. But do not worry, everything will change for the better. And financial matters will improve. If you do not neglect the help of others, your wish will come true.

The desire to know one's future is inherent in man at all times. Why is the future so exciting? What is it, the desire to prepare for the inevitable or pure curiosity? Perhaps both options are wrong. However, most often people turn to Higher powers in order to understand the current situation, solve a problem or ask for help in fulfilling the desired.

For this reason, for thousands of years the famous Chinese book of changes has not lost its relevance and continues to attract with its originality and ability to answer the most important questions. This article will focus on the meaning and interpretation of the meaning of hexagram 15.

Hexagram 15 has two lower broken lines, one solid and then three broken lines. In other words, first two or all three coins landed heads up twice, then once most or all of the coins showed heads, and then three times two or three coins came up tails. To begin with, let's mentally divide the hexagram into two equal parts, that is, consider the upper and lower trigrams separately.

So the upper part is responsible for the outside world, its ability to destroy and retreat. The lower part symbolizes the inner world, simultaneously advancing and creating. In addition, each trigram has its own name, and also has a number of characteristics inherent in it. In this particular case, the hexagram qian consists of the lower trigram gen, which means stay, and the upper part kun, fulfillment. The symbol of gen is the mountain and its inviolability. For kun inherent qualities of the earth, its self-giving.

In the case when hexagram 15 falls out, the Chinese book of changes draws an analogy with a snow-covered branch, which is forced to bend under the weight of white flakes so low that it touches the ground itself. However, soon, when the spring rays warm with gentle warmth, the snow will melt and the branch will again find its place and straighten up.

As well as the position of the branch, things in this moment do not fit in the best way. First of all, we are talking about the financial component of life. Rather, such a situation can be called moderately favorable. Yes, there are some difficulties, but these are only temporary inconveniences, similar to the discomfort from piled snow.

In order to take the situation into your own hands in the future and fully feel like the master of the situation, you now need to show restraint and moderation in everything. In addition to financial troubles, other reasons are currently possible, which together bring a lot of inconvenience and general uncertainty. But there is absolutely no reason to worry.

Very soon, circumstances will undergo a number of changes and significant changes for the better will follow. The desire will be fulfilled only on condition that the help of a friend is not rejected, but is taken with all seriousness and gratitude. Like everything else, financial affairs will also get better.

Despite its venerable age, numbering more than four thousand years, the Yi Ching Book of Changes does not lose its appeal today. The interpretation of hexagrams, although I can be a little confusing and somewhat incomprehensible, still quite fully answers the question posed, and also helps to find a way out of the current situation.

Tossing coins and deciphering the resulting hexagrams is not only an exciting and unusual pastime, but also an opportunity to look into the future and find out the most likely course of events. The classic Chinese Book of Changes has been translated into dozens of languages ​​and is trusted by politicians, pop and movie stars, athletes and businessmen around the world.

She is asked for help in difficult times, her secrets are revealed and plans are revealed. The advice of the book is carefully listened to and strictly adhere to its instructions, because during its existence it has repeatedly proved its correctness and supernatural abilities.
