I Ching #56 ~ Darkening of the Light

Darkening of the light.
In adversity it furthers one
To be persevering.

"One must not unresistingly let himself be swept along by unfavorable circumstances, nor permit his steadfastness to be shaken. He can avoid this by maintaining his inner light, while remaining outwardly yielding and pliable. With this attitude be can overcome even the greatest adversities. In some situations indeed a man must hide his light in order to make his will prevail in spite of difficulties in his immediate environment. Perseverance must dwell in inmost consciousness and should not be discernible from without. Only thus is a man able to maintain his will in the face of difficulties."
