Ancient Classics -> Book of Changes -> Tuan Zhuan -> Wu Wang -> 1.1

In Wu Wang we have the strong (first) line come from the outer (trigram),
and become in the inner trigram lord (of the whole figure);
we have (the attributes of) motive power and strength;
we have the strong line (of the fifth place) in the central position, and responded to (by the weak second):
- there will be 'great progress proceeding from correctness;
such is the appointment of Heaven.
'If (its subject and his action) be not correct, he will fall into errors,
and it will not be advantageous for him to move in any direction:'
- whither can he (who thinks he is) free from all insincerity, (and yet is as here described) proceed?
Can anything be done (advantageously) by him whom the (will and) appointment of Heaven do not help?
