Forty-Second Hexagram
Whirlwinds and Thunder:
When the Superior Person
encounters saintly behavior,
he adopts it;
when he encounters
a fault within,
he transforms it.
Progress in every endeavor.
You may cross to the far shore.

Every move you make is
watched with suspicion.

has been recognized
by those above you.
Your plans will
greatly benefit all,
and the favor you seek

Your balance and skill
have not gone unnoticed
by those in power.
They will entrust you
with responsibilites that
have far-reaching influence.
Line Three

by another's misfortune.

you did nothing
to bring on these events.
