Twentieth Hexagram
The gentle Wind
roams the Earth:
The Superior Person
expands his sphere of influence
as he expands his awareness.
Deeply devoted
to his pursuit
of clarity and wisdom,
he is unconscious of the inspiring, positive example
he is setting
for others to emulate.
You have cleansed yourself;
now stand ready
to make your humble,
devout offering.

Changing Lines
Line Six
He contemplates his own integrity
without regard to the good or bad consequences
his actions may have wrought.
Stand or fall, he must be true to himself.
Line Five
His future is shaped
by the quality of his influence
on others in the past.
Be blameless.
Line Four
Observe the leader firsthand
to decide the worthiness
of the cause.
Line Three
By looking back
over the course of your life,
you will know if this is a time
for advance or retreat.
Line Two
Peeking from behind a screen
may ensure your privacy,
but it offers you only a partial view.
Line One
You look at things like a child.
This is pardonable in a lesser man,
but a fatal flaw in one of your calibre.
