"Inner Truth. Pigs and fishes. Good fortune. It is advantageous to cross the great waters. Perseverance furthers."
The hexagram reveals an emptiness at its core (two Yin lines) surrounded by strength (four Yang lines). It represents an open heart, free from prejudice, safeguarded by a steadfast character. Only an empty heart (devoid of a clamorous ego) can truly resonate with another. This absolute sincerity is so potent that it can influence even the most obtuse or insensitive beings (symbolized by pigs and fishes). Pure authenticity overcomes all obstacles.
"The wind blows over the lake: the image of Inner Truth. Thus the noble man discusses criminal cases to delay executions."
Absolute empathy enables one to comprehend the secret motivations behind actions, preferring to save a life rather than apply a cold law.
