I Ching: Hexagram 59 - The Lines, Part 5

Nine in the fifth place means:
His loud cries are as dissolving as sweat.
Dissolution! A king abides without blame.


In times of general dispersion and separation, a great idea provides a focal point for the organization of recovery. Just as an illness reaches its crisis in a dissolving sweat, so a great stimulating idea is a true salvation in times of general deadlock. It gives the people a rallying point-a man in a ruling position who can dispel misunderstandings.
