I Ching: Hexagram 16 - The Lines, Part 3

Six in the third place means:
Enthusiasm that looks upward creates remorse.
Hesitation brings remorse.


This line is the opposite of the preceding one: the latter bespeaks self-reliance, while here there is enthusiastic looking up to a leader. If a man hesitates too long, this also will bring remorse. The right moment for approach must be seized: only then will he do the right thing.
