__  __ Hexagram Forty-Six:  
       Sheng / Upward Mobility

Beneath the Soil,
the Seedling pushes upward
toward the light:
To preserve his integrity,
the Superior Person
contents himself with
small gains that eventually lead
to great accomplishment.

Supreme success.
Have no doubts.
Seek guidance from
someone you respect.
A constant move
toward greater clarity
will bring reward.


Hexagram Forty-Six/Line One:
You rise to a level
where you are made welcome
as a peer.


Hexagram Forty-Six/Line Two:
Even a small offering
is appreciated,
if it is sincere.


Hexagram Forty-Six/Line Three:
You have risen
to become ruler
of an empty city.


Hexagram Forty-Six/Line Four:
The king continues to
faithfully climb Mount Chi
and make humble offering.


Hexagram Forty-Six/Line Five:
Climb these steps
to good fortune.


Hexagram Forty-Six/Line Six:
Climbing onward and upward
through dark of night
is perilous,
but your tenacity
is admirable.
Good fortune
if you avoid
the slightest misstep.
