第二十五卦的哲学含义

无妄卦，这个卦是异卦相叠，震在下卦，乾在上卦。乾为天为刚为健；震为雷为刚为动。动而健，刚阳盛，人心振奋，必有所得，但唯循纯正，不可妄行。无妄必有获，必可致福。
从卦象来分析，乾代表天，在上卦，震代表雷，在下卦。表示雷在天的领导下活动，震的活动必须遵循乾德，不准离开乾德而轻举乱动，也就是要遵循正确的思想原则办事，这样才能“无妄”。
无妄卦位于复卦之后，《序卦》之中这样说道：“复则不妄矣，故受之以无妄。”能够返回正道，就不会虚妄了。此卦卦名为无妄。“妄”字的结构为“亡”字与“女”字相结合，本义是指女奴逃亡。《说文》中说：“妄，乱也。”《广韵》中说：“妄，虚妄。”可见“妄”的引申义为虚妄、极不真实、悖乱的意思。所以“无妄”便是不虚妄、不妄为的意思。《序卦传》中说：“复则不妄矣，故受之以无妄。”也就是说，阳气的复生使阴气不再妄为了，所以复卦之后便是无妄卦。而阳气的复生同时也是阴气的灾难开始，所以《杂卦传》中说：“大畜时也，无妄灾也。”
天雷无妄卦乾为天，震为雷，天下雷行，万物不敢妄为，为无妄。无妄象杜不妄为，合乎客观规律，不违事实。什么事情均不妄为时，亨通顺利，否则就会发生祸患，不利于发展。
《象》曰：天下雷行，物与无妄；先王以茂对时育万物。
这句话指出了无妄卦的卦象是震下乾上，好比在天的下面有雷在运行之表象，象征着天用雷的威势警戒万物，并赋予万物以不妄动妄求的本性；从前的君主顺应天命，尽其所能地遵循天时以养育万物的生长。
这便是无妄卦的卦象。从生活常识来讲，雷声很大的雷雨天不宜出门，因为容易遭受雷击。古人很早就发现这一点，于是认为天上打雷是在惩戒坏人，把雷声看作是法律的象征。所以古人会认为在政治局势不稳定而以严法治国的时期，不适合到处走动，以避免不必要的伤害。

25.天雷无妄(䷘)-高岛易断
“无妄”，诚也，是即《中庸》“至诚无息”之谓也。《序卦》曰：“复则不妄矣，故受之以无妄。”盖《无妄》之诚，天之道也；《复》而《无妄》，此为“诚之”者，人之道也。为卦《乾》上《震》下，《乾》健也，《震》动也，健而动，动合夫天也，合乎天即诚也。古圣经传皆言诚，无咎二字，独见于《 易》。朱子解《中庸》“诚”字，谓“即真实无妄”，而解《易》“无妄”，谓“即实理自然”。要之理之出于自然者，天也，天即诚也，诚即《无妄》也，其旨一也。
无妄：元亨利贞。其匪正有眚，不利有攸往。
“元亨利贞”，是谓四德惟《乾》全具，余卦曰“元亨利贞”者，皆从《乾》来也。“元亨利贞”，统言之，一正而已，正则无妄矣，故曰《无妄》“元亨利贞”。此乃自然之实理，受之于天，不容间以一毫私意，间以私意，即非正矣，非正则妄，妄必多过，故“有眚”也。既已无妄，不宜妄有所往，故曰“不利有攸往”。
《 彖传》曰：无妄，刚自外来，而为主于内。动而健，刚中而应，大亨以正，天之命也。其匪正有青，不利有攸往，无妄之往，何之矣？天命不枯，行矣哉？
此卦内《震》外《乾》，“刚”乾也。“刚自外来，而为主于内”，《无妄》以初九为卦主，《震》初九刚从《乾》来，故曰“刚自外来”，就内外卦而言也。动在下，健在上，“动而健”，是动之得其健也。“刚中而应”，谓二五也，九五阳刚中正，即《无妄》之天，六二复以居中得正应之，是应之得其正也。凡《彖传》言“大亨”，即“元亨”，“以正”，即“利贞”。《乾》之四德，天之命也，天之所命者，诚也，正也，即无妄也。命得于天，天必信之，攸往咸宜，吉无不利矣。“其非正”，则是自背夫天之命也，天必不能保之，行将何往？更有所往，往即入于妄矣，妄则逆天，逆天者天不佑，亦安见其可行哉！《程传》释“非正”二字，谓虽无邪心，苟不合正理则妄，知“非正”与不正，迥乎各别，正与“非正”，其辨甚微。“其”字指三上言，三之“灾”，上之“眚”，其失甚细，“非正”二字，正当体认。
以此卦而拟人事，盖此无妄之诚，与生俱来，浑然无私，即所谓天命之性也。卦自《复》来，《复》秉《乾》阳一画，以为“天地之心”，“天地之心”，即《无妄》之真元也，“ 元亨利贞”四者即此一心。自古圣人，必如尧舜之执中，汤之用中，孔子之时中，斯可谓“大亨以正”，浑全天命者也。下如颜子之已而待克，礼而待复，犹藉人为，其于《无妄》，尚未达一间耳。此外不必显背夫理，即于理稍有所偏，如动而过动，健而过健，刚而过刚，往失其正，即此有眚，天不我佑，往必无可往焉，至此而人事穷矣。卦体内《震》外《乾》，《震》，动也，盖教人以动合天。动以天则为《无妄》，动以人则妄矣。《 易》之垂诫著明，六爻之辞，皆取任乎天者也，违即有咎。初爻备卦德之全，行无不吉，志无不遂也。二爻循当然之理，利本不计，往亦无心也。四爻则刚而无私，守之必贞，咎自无也。五爻则中而又正，如其有疾，可“勿药”也。惟三上两爻，不免近于妄矣。三之“灾”，是牵于“得”而来也；五之“眚”，是穷于“行”而得也。此即《彖》所谓“非正有眚”者矣。盖观于初、二、四、五四爻，以人合天，吉无不利；观三上两爻，几微不谨，过即随之。为圣为狂，争此一间，人可不知所勉哉！
以此卦拟国家，盖所谓无妄者，即唐虞授受，危微精一，千古治统之真传也。得之则治，失之则乱，全在大君真实无妄之一心耳。为卦内《震》外《乾》，《乾》君也，天也；《震》动也，行也。《乾》以君合天，是以健而刚；《震》动而能行，是以往有吉。古之帝王恭己南面，无为而治者，惟在此善承夫天命也。故以此而茂对天时，而时无不顺，以此养育万物，而物无不生。时一无妄也，物一无妄也，以无妄对之，以无妄育之。先王法天以行政，一如雷行天下，任时而动，即在无妄之中而已。统观六爻，劝诫昭焉。初爻是温恭充塞，诚至而物自化也，故曰“无妄，往吉”。二爻是不言而信，不动而敬，不期治而自治也，故曰“利有攸往”。三爻，是有意求治，转得此而失彼也，故曰有灾。四爻，是刚柔相济，为能久于其道也，故“无咎”。五爻，是以道自治，不待以乱治乱也，故曰“勿药有喜”。上爻，是好大喜功，行之有过也，故曰“无攸利”。为国家者，保其无妄，祛其“非正”，健而能动，刚而得中，庶几四时行，百物生，应天顺人，德美化行，“大亨以正”，而天下治矣。
通观此卦，上《乾》下《震》，动合夫天，刚而得中，故名曰《无妄》。无妄者浑全实理，绝无意外期望之谓也。是以循其实理之自然，则往无不利；出乎实理之所非，则动必得咎。虽祸福之来，亦有不测，福自天降，天所佑也；祸而天降，如六三之灾，九五之疾是也；祸而自致，则“非正”之“眚”是也。六爻中，言“吉”，言“利”，言“灾”，言“疾”，言“喜”，言“眚”，皆所谓祸福也。初爻为卦之主，浑全元善，故“吉”。二爻循乎自然，不假造作，故“利”。四爻止所当止，守之以恒，故“无咎”。上爻居卦之终，极而复动，故“有眚”。凡爻象，初动者必终静，初静者必终动。此卦初“往吉”，二往利，皆取其动也；三“灾”，四“贞”，五“疾”，皆勉其守而勿动也；上“有眚”则戒其动之穷也。卦体《乾》健《震》动，故初象多动，动极反静，故终必静也。知夫此，可以谈《无妄》之卦。
《大象》曰：天下雷行，物与无妄，先王以茂对时育万物。
“天下雷行”，阳气勃发，鼓动万物，万物与之共动，蛰虫振，草木萌，有翼者飞，有足者走，无不勃然发育，各正性命，而无有差妄，谓之“物与无妄”。法天之象，以茂对天时者，布顺时之化，以养育万物者，赞生物之功，使时行物生，物物各全其所与，春生养长，咸得其宜，斯吾心中之万物皆备，而天下之万物并育。此所谓尽性尽物也。

Judgment
Legge: Innocence indicates progress and success through firm correctness. If the action of its subject is incorrect, he will fall into error. In such a case it will not be advantageous to move in any direction.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Innocence. Supreme success. Perseverance furthers. If someone is not as he should be, he has misfortune, and it does not further him to undertake anything.
Blofeld: Integrity. (The Unexpected). [this hexagram has two widely different meanings, both of which occur in what follows.] Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward. Those opposed to righteousness meet with injury. It is not favorable to have in view any goal (or destination). [Usually this sentence may be taken to have a wide application; but, in this case, (the Confucian commentary) suggests that it applies only to the enemies of righteousness, though it does have a general application for those who receive a moving line for the sixth place.]
Liu: The Unexpected: sublime success. Benefit. Perseverance. Someone acts incorrectly: misfortune. No benefit for undertakings.
Ritsema/Karcher: Without embroiling. Spring Growing Harvesting Trial.
One in-no-way correcting: possessing blunder. Not Harvesting: possessing directed going. [This hexagram describes your situation as being without confusion or fault. It emphasizes that acting while remaining free from entangling, vanity or recklessness is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told: act without becoming embroiled!]
Shaughnessy: Pestilence: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine. If it is not upright there will be an inspection; not beneficial to have somewhere to go.
Cleary (1): Fidelity is creative and developmental. It is beneficial to be correct; if it is not correct, there will be disaster, and it will not be beneficial to go anywhere.

Cleary (2): Freedom from error is very successful, beneficial for the upright. Denial of what is correct is mistaken, etc.
Wu: Freedom from Vainness is primordial, pervasive, prosperous and persevering. If it does not stay in the correct course, there will be calamities and there will be no advantage to have any undertaking.
The Image
Legge: Thunder rolls under heaven, and everything manifests its original nature, free from all insincerity. The ancient kings, in accordance with this, made their regulations in complete accordance with the seasons, thereby nourishing all things.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Under heaven thunder rolls: all things attain the natural state of innocence. Thus the kings of old, rich in virtue, and in harmony with the time, fostered and nourished all beings.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes thunder rolling across the whole earth; from it, all things receive their integrity. [The lower trigram is pictured as thunder, but it acts through its power to quicken growth.] The ancient rulers gave abundant and timely nourishment to all.
Liu: Thunder rolls under heaven; everything is innocent. The ancient kings cultivated virtue and used the appropriate time to nourish all beings.
Ritsema/Karcher: Below heaven thunder moving. Beings associating Without embroiling. The Earlier Kings used luxuriance suiting the season to nurture the myriad beings.
Cleary (2): Thunder travels under the sky; things accompany with no error. Ancient kings promoted flourishing appropriate to the time and nurtured myriad beings.
Wu: Thunder moves under heaven. All things participate in the spirit of Freedom from Vainness. The ancient kings acted in time to cause all people and things to flourish.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Innocence shows the dynamic first line descending from the upper trigram to become the lord of the hexagram in the lower trigram. We see the attributes of Motive Power and Strength. The dynamic fifth line is central and responded to by the magnetic second line. It is the will of heaven that true progress can only proceed from correctness. If the action of the subject is incorrect he will fall into error, and it will be unfortunate for him to move in any

direction. Where can one with the illusion of innocence proceed? Can anything be accomplished by someone without the assistance of heaven's will?
Legge: Of the two Chinese characters which symbolize Innocence, one is the symbol of being reckless, and often of being insincere; these two characters in combination describe a state of entire freedom from such a condition. The subject of the hexagram therefore, is one who is simple and sincere. This quality is characteristic of heaven, and of the highest style of humanity. The figure is an essay on this noble attribute. But an absolute rectitude is essential to it. The nearer one comes to the ideal of the quality, the more powerful will be his influence and the greater his success. But let him see to it that he never swerve from being correct.
Anthony: Innocence means to let go of the present, thereby letting the future become what it will and being at peace with it… When we have learned to do a thing for its own sake, we know the meaning of innocence… In keeping our minds open and free, we are able to meet unexpected events with the help of the Creative, which always points out the correct and most appropriate response.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Success is possible only if you are impeccably correct. If such is not the case, take no action at all. ("Let him who is without sin cast the first stone.") The Superior Man acts in harmony with the times. The ancient kings in the Image are mentioned by name in seven hexagrams. (See the commentary on hexagram number 20, Contemplation, for a fuller discussion of their symbolism.) Here, the Image shows them
synchronizing their laws with the "laws of nature" -- an archetypal concept which is found in many mystical traditions. Here is the alchemical version: The individual terrestrial life should correspond to the laws governing the universe; man's spiritual aspirations should be directed to harmonize with the wisdom of God. If we accomplish this, the inner consciousness will awaken to an understanding of the influences of the stars, and the mysteries of Nature will be revealed to his spiritual perception.
Paracelsus In terms of the hexagram of Innocence, the idea is that if you are truly synchronized with your inner cosmos, if you are truly "innocent" (i.e., perfect), you may succeed under the prevailing conditions, but if you are not in complete inner accord you would be well advised to sit tight and take no action. To paraphrase the last sentence of the Confucian commentary: "Can the ego do anything advantageously without the concurrence of the Self?"

“Be ye therefore perfect, even as your father which is in heaven is perfect.”
Matthew 5: 48 To use the Christian injunction in illustration: the upper trigram of Heaven is perfect, and the lower trigram of Movement is asked to reflect on how far he conforms to this ideal. In psychological terms, how do the goals of the ego compare with those of the Self, the entity to whom the Work is dedicated? Wilhelm has some interesting commentary on this hexagram, stating that it can indicate unexpected misfortune. In his book, Lectures on the I Ching, he comments: Wu Wang is very peculiar, and its name is not easy to translate. I have used "Innocence," or the “Unintentional." Having meanwhile thought about the matter more, I would today render Wu Wang with the term “Subconscious," even though this expression seems somewhat too modern ... That which as [Divorcement] severs life enters here into unconscious realms ... Because the shock is within and is unconscious, it cannot take its course, and therefore causes the unexpected to happen. An unexpected disaster is afoot; something may be robbed or stolen. See line three and its commentaries for further insights into Wilhelm's ideas here. To receive this hexagram without changing lines is tantamount to being asked if you are perfect enough to take action without harm. Sometimes, depending on circumstances, it can also suggest that your position is correct and blameless. As always, the context of your query will leave no doubt when this latter interpretation is intended. If there is doubt, rephrase the question and ask until you understand. The oracle uses ambiguity to develop your intuition -especially so on those occasions when all you want is a quick answer.
SUGGESTIONS FOR MEDITATION
Compare what is said here about the Ancient Kings with what is said about them in hexagrams 8, 16, 20, 21, 24, and 59. What common theme unites them, and how does it relate to the concept of the Work?

初九变卦

  初九爻动变得周易第12卦：天地否。这个卦是异卦（下坤上乾）相叠，其结构同泰卦相反，系阳气上升，阴气下降，天地不交，万物不通。它们彼此为“综卦”，表明泰极而否，否极泰来，互为因果。

初九爻的哲学含义

无妄卦第一爻，爻辞：初九：无妄，往吉。
爻辞释义，本爻辞的意思是：不妄动妄求，前去行事会获得吉祥。初九：无妄，往吉。
象曰：无妄之往，得志也。
经文意思是：没有虚妄，前往吉祥。
象辞意思是:不妄为而前往，心志是会得以实现的。
只要你心中不怀妄念，在做事时遵守规则，就会很顺利的。可是在生活中，
有些人不够理性，分不清希望与妄想的差别，看不清自己。一旦内心的纯正，头脑被妄想所左右，不听劝阻一意孤行，意外的灾祸就会离你不远了。
积极向上本无可非议，所需要强调的是不妄动，不盲目躁行。占得此爻者，正处在事业初期，要坚守正道，并按步骤、按规律一步一步来做，循序渐进，这样才会有所成就。
初九阳爻居于奇位为得位，虽然处于无妄卦的最下爻，但他是无妄卦下卦震卦的双足，震有动的意思，得位而行动，不胡作为，所以这种行动吉祥。初九就好比给商鞅搬木头的人，他遵从告示的内容把木头搬到了北城门，没有做什么不对的事情，所以他因此而受到了奖赏。商鞅的变法也正如这初九交，他言而有信，言必行，行必果，所以他推行的改革成功了。
《象》曰：“无妄之往”，得志也。这是告诉人们，“不妄动妄求，前去行事”，这样就可以实现志愿。

初九：无妄，往吉。
《象传》曰：无妄之往，得志也。
初为内卦之主，《震》初之刚，自《乾》而来，故《 彖传》曰“刚自外来”。初阳始生，诚一未分，不杂未起，率性而动，动罔不臧，以其动合乎天也；由兹而往，往无不吉焉，故曰“往吉”。《象传》曰“往得志也”，诚无不通，志无不遂，故往而得志也。
【占】　问时运：目下吉，但宜出而有为，不宜杜守家居。
○　问商业：利行商，不利坐贾。
○　问家宅：宜迁居，吉。
○　问战征：宜进攻，吉。

断曰：此卦上《乾》下《震》，《乾》为父，《震》为长男，有上体大而健，下体小而弱之象。又《震》为足，初爻变《震》体败，必主足疾，恐此人伤足。下爻六二曰“不耕获，不菑畲”，是农而废其业也。由是观之，力士明年殆将废其角解，而转就他业矣。翌十八年，六介果折足而转他业。

六二变卦

  六二爻动变得周易第10卦：天泽履。这个卦是异卦（下兑上乾）相叠，乾为天，兑为泽，以天喻君，以泽喻民，原文：“履（踩）虎尾，不咥（咬）人”。因此，结果吉利。君上民下，各得其位。兑柔遇乾刚，所履危。履意为实践，卦义是脚踏实地的向前进取的意思。

九二爻的哲学含义

无妄卦第二爻，爻辞：六二：不耕获，不菑畲，则利有攸往。
六二：不耕获，不菑畲，则利有攸往。
象曰：不耕获，未富也。
经文意思是：不耕种而有收获，不开荒而有熟田，那么有利于前往。象辞意思是：不耕而有收获，是因为还不富裕。
爻辞释义：耕：耕作。获：收获。菑：指垦荒。
本爻辞的意思是：不要在刚耕作时就期望立即获得丰收，不在刚开垦荒地时就期望它立即变成良田，若能这样，才有利于前去行事。
六二这一爻是告诉人们，做事要脚踏实地，“休妄想，且诚心”。凡事不要妄想坐收其利，也不要刚投入就立刻想获得高产出，这是不合规律的。
如果你想做事，尽管踏踏实实去做，不要刚一做，就想着如何发大财，发大财后如何扩大规模。有一句话叫“只顾耕耘，不问收获”，你去辛勤劳动，不企求非分的财富，不妄想通过违背规律来快速收到成效，这样坚持下去，对于事业的成功是很有利的。
不用耕耘就可以收获，不用开垦就能得到熟田，这当然是很有利的事情的。古代将第一年开星的田地称为菑，耕种两年的田地称为兴田，耕种三年的田地称为畲。刚开垦出来的荒地杂草丛生，不利于种植，成为畲之后，杂草便少了。可是不开垦荒地怎么会得到人家已经耕种了三年的土地呢？只能是主人的赏赐或用钱买才能得到。所以六二爻便是说前往会得到大的奖赏，所以“利有攸往”。
在古代没有土地的人属于穷人，所以象辞中说：“未富也。”

六二：不耕获，不菑畲，则利有攸往。
《象传》曰：不耕获，未富也。
《乾》为郊野，《震》为禾稼，故爻取农象。耕而有获，菑而有畲，原非意外期望；然以耕而期获，以菑而期畲，心有期望，无妄之望，即是妄也。爻曰“不耕获，不菑畲”，谓当耕则耕，耕未尝有心于获，宜菑则菑，菑未尝有意于畲，任乎先天，不假后起，犹之谋道者非为干禄，修德者非为求名，尽其在我，不计外来。如是则为《无妄》，《无妄》则“利有攸往”，言无妄心，自无妄行，则往无不利也。《象传》曰“未富也”，谓二爻居柔得正，中虚无欲，未尝有心于富也；未富而不妄意于富，此即所谓《无妄》也。
【占】　问时运：目下运得其正，自有意外财饷，大利。
○　问商业：不谋而获，却得大利，吉。
○　问家宅：此宅想是承继之产，或为人经管庄舍。
○　问战征：前途倒戈，有不胜而胜之象。
○　问疾病：“勿药有喜”。
○　问婚姻：是招赘之亲。
○　问行人：在外得利，一时未归。
○　问六甲：生女。
【例】　明治十四年一月，余浴于热海，同浴者有花族岛津公及成岛柳北等，暇时相与攀谈。既而大隈伊藤进上诸君亦来浴，时大隈君顾众曰：方今俄清两国互争境界，两国派出委员，议论不决，和战未定，各国之所注目也。高岛氏幸为一占。余乃应命，筮得《无妄》之《履》。
断曰：清为我邻，以内卦充之，外卦为俄。《无妄》内卦为《震》，《震》为木，譬犹木槌；外卦为《乾》，《乾》为金，譬犹巨钟。今观清国政府，力尚不足，以清拒俄，譬犹以木槌叩巨钟，巨钟依然，而木槌早已摧矣。故知清必不抗俄，必以和议结局也，明矣。爻辞曰“不耕获，不菑畲”，俄之利，清之灾也。
一时座客，或拍手赞叹，或疑虑不服，后果如此占，使疑者亦服焉。
【例】　东京青山有一富商，自二三世来，分为本末两家，末家常守勤俭，家业益昌，本家不善治产，游惰相承，家业凋落。末家虽屡屡分金相助，如运雪填井，其消立尽。本家计穷，窃欲并吞末家之产，召唤末家主人相商曰：汝家之所有，非汝家所自有也，曩时曾从我本家分而与之也。今本家困乏若此，汝盍归还之乎？汝其了此意乎？末家主人惊愕，虽百方苦陈不听。本家主人，以事不谐，将欲讼之官，末家主人，就余请占其吉凶。筮得《无妄》之《履》。
断曰：此卦上《乾》下《震》，《乾》为金，《震》为木，金为本家，木为末家，末家持木，以击本家之金，末家必不胜，其理昭昭也。爻辞曰“不耕获，不菑畲”，耕者必获，菑者必畲，常也。今日耕而不获，菑而不畲，虽为理之所无，往往为事之所或有。以君家数代勤俭，贮蓄财产，一旦拱手而偿诸本家，固属心之所不甘，故曰“无妄灾也”。今既得此占，宜如其意而让之，独怀资金，另兴一家。爻曰“则利有攸往”，君从此孜孜勉励，当必再致繁昌也。
末家主人，果从余言，举财产让之，另开一户，励精家业，未几又获兴起。

Line-2
Legge: The second line, magnetic, shows one who reaps without having ploughed, and gathers the produce of her third year's fields without having cultivated them for that end. To such a one there will be advantage in whatever direction she may move.
Wilhelm/Baynes: If one does not count on the harvest while plowing, nor on the use of the ground while clearing it, it furthers one to undertake something.
Blofeld: Do not calculate the size of the harvest while the ploughing is still in progress, nor gloat over the third year's crop while still planting the virgin ground. It is favorable to seek some object (or destination).
Liu: Do not count the harvest while planting, nor plow the field that lies in fallow. There is advantage in undertaking something.
Ritsema/Karcher: Not tilling the crop. Not clearing the plow-land. Byconsequence, Harvesting: possessing directed going.
Shaughnessy: Not sowing or reaping, not breaking new fields nor working old fields; beneficial to have someplace to go.
Cleary (1): Not plowing or harvesting, not making new fields, then it is beneficial to go somewhere.
Cleary (2): Not plowing for the harvest, it is beneficial to go somewhere.
Wu: If he does not expect to reap as he plows the field, or if he does not expect to harvest in a “ripe” field when he cultivates a raw land, he will have the advantage of moving ahead.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: She reaps without having ploughed -- the thought of riches to be gotten had not risen in her mind. Wilhelm/Baynes: One does not seek wealth. Blofeld: It is not meet to calculate profits as such an early stage, nor can we expect to become rich soon. Ritsema/Karcher: Not-yet affluence indeed.
Cleary (2): One is not enriched. [This means aspiring only to attain enlightenment, not thinking of riches or rank. Then it is beneficial to go somewhere.] Wu: For he is not after material rewards.
Legge: Line two is magnetic, central, and in her correct place. She is entirely free from selfish or mercenary motives. She is good for the sake of goodness, and things are such that her action will be successful. She does what she does because it is right, not because of any gain it might bring to her.

NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man succeeds in everything he undertakes. He does not proceed with mercenary or selfish interests in mind but does good things for their own sake. Unsought wealth will come his way.
Wing: Do not dream about the results of your work or the attainment of your goal. Instead, take action for its own sake and devote your full attention to what you are now doing. Only in this way can you achieve your aim.
Anthony: Innocence means to answer the duty required by the moment, regardless of consequences, looking neither forward nor backward. If we have hopes and expectations, we are disappointed when things do not work out on our imagined schedule.
Editor: The idea here is that the times are favorable to undertake something only if you are free of ulterior motives. Because Wilhelm's translation of this line is conditional, there is a suggestion that there may be some temptation toward selfishness within the situation. Keep an open mind and remain receptive to your experience. Think of the flowers; they never have to spin or weave; yet, I assure you, not even Solomon in all his regalia was robed like one of these... You must not set your hearts on things to eat and things to drink; nor must you worry... Your Father well knows you need them. No; set your hearts on his kingdom, and these other things will be given to you as well.
Luke 12: 27-32
A. You aren't out to make a point, but to do something for its own sake.
B. "Don't count your chickens before they're hatched."

周易第二十五卦九三爻详解详解
六三爻辞
六三。无妄之灾。或系之牛，行人之得，邑人之灾。
象曰：行人得牛，邑人灾也。
白话文解释
六三：意外的灾难。比喻说有人将牛系在不该系的地方，行人顺手牵牛获意外之得，邑人失牛受到意外之灾。
《象辞》说：行人意外得牛，邑人意外蒙灾。

北宋易学家邵雍解

六三变卦

  六三爻动变得周易第13卦：天火同人。这个卦是异卦（下离上乾）相叠，乾为天，为君；离为火，为臣民百姓，上天下火，火性上升，同于天，上下和同，同舟共济，人际关系和谐，天下大同。

九三爻的哲学含义

无妄卦：六三：无妄之灾，或系之牛，行人之得，邑人之灾。
无妄卦第三爻，爻辞释义
无妄之灾：指意外事故，没有料想到的事。邑人：指村里人，同乡。
本爻辞的意思是：无缘无故而遭受灾祸，就像有人把一头牛拴在村边道路旁，路过的人顺手把牛牵走，村里的人却被怀疑为偷牛的人了。
六三：无妄之灾，或系之牛，行人之得，色人之灾。
象曰：行人得牛，邑人灾也。
经文意思是：意想不到的灾难，就好比有人系牛于此，被路过的人牵走了，村里的人却遭到了怀疑。
象辞意思是：过路的人得到了牛，而村里的人却被怀疑偷牛而得到了灾难。

六三：无妄之灾，或系之牛，行人之得，邑人之灾。
《象传》曰：行人得牛，邑人灾也。
“无妄之灾”，谓非己之所致而灾，天数之灾厄，或有不可免也。六三位不中正，故事出意外，有如“或系之牛”。“系”者而曰“或”，原不知为谁氏之牛也；“行人”，行路之人也，见其牛以为无主也，而窃得之。在邑之人，未之知也，而捕者则必就邑人而诘之，是邑人无故而受灾也，即所谓“无妄之灾”也。三至五《离》，《离》为牛，下互《艮》，《艮》为拘，上互《巽》，《巽》为绳，有系牛之象。《乾》健行，象行人，《震》为守，象邑人。《乾》之行，至上止，上为行人，故上曰“行有眚”，是得牛而遭眚也。《震》之守，属于三，三为邑人，故曰“邑人之灾”。上得其牛，而三罹其灾，是三为“无妄之灾”。上之《象》曰“穷之灾也”，上乃自致之灾，所谓自作之孽也。《象传》曰“邑人灾也”，此意外之灾，惟顺受焉而已。
【占】　问时运：目下运值尴尬，防有意外之事，宜谨慎。
○　问商业：防他人占利，而己耗财。
○　问家宅：此宅恐为外人侵占。
○　问战征：行军得胜，守军防有损败。
○　问疾病：此病恐是外来人传染，可虑。
○　问行人：归则归矣，恐家人有灾。
○　问婚嫁：宜与远人结亲，吉。
○　问失物：已被行人拾去。
【例】　一日友人某，突然来访曰：仆近与朋友某，共计一商业，书来约今日会晤，今忽以家事混杂谢绝，其中或有变计乎？请劳一筮。筮得《无妄》之《同人》。
断曰：爻辞谓“或系之牛，行人之得，邑人之灾”，按《离》为牛，亦为女，观此知其家必有远来亲友，以妇女寄托也。此女象取《离》卦，必有离绝之事，且《离》为孕，或女已怀孕矣。“行人之得”，是与行人而皆奔也，在某住所，非畜牛之地，故知其必为女也。“系”者，即寄托之谓也，“邑人”者，即君之友也。然此友受此女之寄，所谓“邑人之灾”，恐难免矣。某所称家事混杂，殆即此欤？
友人惊余言奇异而归，后数日，来谢曰：过日占辞，不误一语，悉合事实。

Line-3
Legge: The third line, magnetic, shows calamity happening to one who is free
from insincerity -- as in the case of an ox that has been tied up. A passer-by finds it and carries it off, while the people in the neighborhood have the calamity of being accused and apprehended.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Undeserved misfortune. The cow that was tethered by someone is the wanderer's gain, the citizen's loss.
Blofeld: Unexpected calamity. Someone ropes an ox and leads it off -- a gain to the passer-by but a loss to the farmer who owns it!

Liu: An unexpected misfortune: the cow is tied up, and a passerby takes it. The passerby gains, the villagers are in trouble.
Ritsema/Karcher: Without Embroiling's calamity. Maybe attaching's cattle.
Moving people's acquiring: Capital people's calamity.
Shaughnessy: The pestilence's disaster: someone ties it to an ox. The traveling man's gain, is this of the city man.
Cleary (1): The misfortune of fidelity; a tethered ox is a gain for a traveler, misfortune for the townspeople.
Cleary (2): The misfortune of no error, etc.
Wu: There are hazards despite freedom from vainness. For instance, a villager ties an ox here, but a passerby leads it away. The villager ends up with a loss.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: The passer-by gets the ox -- this proves a calamity to the people of the neighborhood. Wilhelm/Baynes: If the wanderer gets the cow, it is the citizen's loss. Blofeld: The former gains an ox at the cost of the owner's suffering. [The calamity may be threatening us. Otherwise, the implication is that we cannot avoid gaining something at severe cost to others.] Ritsema/
Karcher: Capital people, calamity indeed. Cleary (2): When a traveler finds the cow, it is a misfortune for the local people. Wu: The passerby gets the ox and the villager faces a loss.
Legge: Sometimes calamity may befall the best of us, even when there is freedom from insincerity. Line three, being magnetic in a dynamic place, is vulnerable to this misfortune. The people of the neighborhood are of course entirely innocent. On line three it is said: "The superior man seeks simply to be free from insincerity, and leaves the question of happiness and calamity to
Heaven.”
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: Undeserved calamity comes to the sincere person. Unexpected misfortunes of this kind, however, do not throw the superior man off stride.
Wing: Undeserved and unexpected misfortune may come your way. It will pass. An attitude of Innocence does not preclude bad luck, as such shifts of fortune are unavoidable. However, an innocent posture should not be abandoned for it can reveal new ways of dealing with problems.
Anthony: Situations occur which are negative, and it is not our fault. Nevertheless, we must adjust to them with acceptance. To fail to do so will only

bring on further misfortune. We should not let negative events destroy our innocence of mind.
Editor: The symbolism usually implies that you have just been wronged through no fault of your own. Cleary’s Buddhist commentary introduces a different interpretation: “This represents the unbalanced and aberrant who cling to a principle that is without error and make it into a misfortune. When a traveler finds the cow, why then cling to principle and seek a reward from the local people? Is this not misfortune extending to the innocent?” Note that the references to the innocent villagers’ culpability in Legge, Liu and Cleary-2 suggest there may be hidden nuances to this line. Yes, injustice committed by another is an injustice for the one who has committed it and he is not released from his responsibility. But, considered within the universal order, it is not an injustice in the cosmos, not even for the one who has suffered it. It is a necessary occurrence. If the one who undergoes it is a good man, it will have for him a happy issue. One must not believe this cosmic order to be "not of the gods" or unjust. It distributes exactly to each what is fitting to each. But we are ignorant of the causes and that accords our ignorance the occasion for blaming it.

九四变卦

  九四爻动变得周易第42卦：风雷益。这个卦是异卦（下震上巽）相叠。巽为风；震为雷。风雷激荡，其势愈强，雷愈响，风雷相助互长，交相助益。此卦与损卦相反。它是损上以益下，后者是损下以益上。二卦阐述的是损益的原则。

九四爻的哲学含义

无妄卦，第四爻爻辞：九四：可贞，无咎。
无妄卦爻辞释义：本爻辞的意思是：只要能够坚守正道，就不会有灾祸发生。
九四：可贞，无咎。
象曰：可贞无咎，固有之也。
经文意思是：可以保持正道，没有灾难。
象辞意思是：可以保持正道而没有灾难，是九四爻本身固有的品质。
这一爻告诉人们坚守正道，可以化解无妄之灾。这一点很容易理解，村边路旁拴了一头牛，被路过的人牵走了，村里的人都受到了怀疑。但是，那些平日里走得正行得端，品德高尚的人，自然会被排除在外。即使当时人们不太了解，但是根据其日后的行动，知其品行之后，也会将其排除在怀疑范围之外的。
《象》曰：“可贞，无咎”，固有之也。
《象》中指出：“坚守正道，没有灾祸”，是说坚守正道的品德是其本身所固有的，所以，自始至终牢固地坚守正道，才能使自己免遭灾害。
九四这一爻，属于阳爻居阴位，谦卑顺从，以德服人，所以能做到“无咎”。占得此爻者，要注意自己的道德品质，做到心地纯正，不起妄念，这样就不会有什么过错。
九四与初九不应而相敌，并且九四又以刚爻居于柔位，所以处境不是很好。但是九四是无妄卦下互卦艮卦的最上爻，同时又是上互卦巽卦的中爻，所以能够坚守正道以随顺之德而免于灾难。

九四：可贞，无咎。
《象传》曰：可贞无咎，固有之也。
四阳刚而居《乾》体，刚而无私，无妄者也。然位当上下之交，初《乾》阳刚犹柔，恐固守未定，或有偶涉于妄者乎？故诫之曰“可贞”。盖以《乾》之健，乘《无妄》之体，更当以《乾》之贞，葆无妄之诚。斯无妄之理，静以存之，固以守之，自无过失矣，故曰“无咎”。《象传》曰“固有之也”，无妄之心，即天心也，秉于生初，非由外铄，故曰“固有”也。
【占】　问时运：目下气运平顺，循分则有获，妄动则有咎。
○　问商业：坚守旧业，自然亨通。
○　问家宅：此宅本是祖基，宜永保之，毋坠。
○　问战征：已占入外卦之地，宜坚守城池，切勿妄进。
○　问疾病：此时宜安静调养，来月“勿药”而愈。
○　问行人：一时未归，在外无咎。
○　问六甲：生男。
○　问失物：必可复得。
【例】　某贵显来，请占气运，筮得《无妄》之《益》。
断曰：四近尊位，德秉乾刚，正合贵显身位。今占得第四爻，曰“可贞无咎”，在贵显德位俱优，功业素著，无复丝毫妄念；恐民在下，有以妄动干进，全在贵显坚贞而镇定之，得“无咎”也。

Line-4
Legge: The fourth line, dynamic, shows a case in which, if its subject can remain firm and correct, there will be no error.
Wilhelm/Baynes: He who can be persevering remains without blame.
Blofeld: Something can be accomplished by righteous persistence and no error is involved.
Liu: If one carries on, no blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Permitting Trial. Without fault.
Shaughnessy: Able to be determined; there is no trouble.
Cleary (1): One should be correct; then there is no error.
Wu: If he can remain firm and correct, he will be blameless.

COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: He firmly holds fast his correctness. Wilhelm/Baynes:
For he possesses firmly. Blofeld: That is to say firmness will enable us to fulfill our aim. Ritsema/Karcher: Firmly possessing it indeed. Cleary (1): This is inherent. Wu: Because he holds fast to what he has gotten.
Legge: Line four is the lowest in the trigram of strength, and line one is not a proper correlate. Also, the fourth line is dynamic in a magnetic place, so caution is necessary.
Anthony: Dread of losing is as faulty as anticipation of winning.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: What really belongs to the man cannot be lost to him. As long as he remains steadfast to his own nature, he will commit no error.
Wing: Do not be influenced by the designs of those around you. It is very important, at this time, that you trust your inner vision. Obey your instincts.
Editor: There is a definite qualification in most translations of this line: "IF you
can maintain correctness, you will succeed -- or at least not be incorrect.” The wording can imply doubt, and hints at a possible test of your discrimination. The wisest reading is that if you aren't impeccable, the injunction from the Judgment is appropriate here: "If someone is not as he should be, he has misfortune, and it does not further him to undertake anything.” If you live right, the coincidences will build up for you in unexpected and surprising and beneficial ways. If you do not live right, the anticoincidences will build up in unexpected and direful, sometimes disastrous ways. The criterion of whether or not you are living right is empirical observation of the coincidences. If the coincidences build up, you are living right. If they do not build up, you are not living right and had best examine your way of life.

周易第二十五卦九五爻详解详解
九五爻辞
九五。无妄之疾，勿药有喜。
象曰：无妄之药，不可试也。
白话文解释
九五：患意外之病，不要忙乱服药，自可痊愈。
《象辞》说：出人意外的药物，不可随便服用。

北宋易学家邵雍解
平：得此爻者，营谋有成，病得愈，或有生育之喜。做官的纵有祸难，也会不辩自明，不解自释。

台湾国学大儒傅佩荣解

九五变卦

  九五爻动变得周易第21卦：火雷噬嗑。这个卦是异卦（下震上离）相叠。离为阴卦；震为阳卦。阴阳相交，咬碎硬物，喻恩威并施，宽严结合，刚柔相济。噬嗑为上下颚咬合，咀嚼。

九五爻的哲学含义

无妄卦第五爻爻辞：九五：无妄之疾，勿药有喜。
九五：无妄之疾，勿药有喜。爻辞释义，本爻辞的意思是：没有虚妄却生了病，不用吃药也会痊愈。
九五：无妄之疾，勿药有喜。
象曰：无妄之药，不可试也。
经文意思是：无缘无故的疾病，不必吃药治疗，会有喜庆的事情。
象辞意思是：治无缘无故的疾病的药，不可轻易试服。
这一爻以生病为例，来告诫人们处理无妄之灾的办法：若是无缘无故生了病，不可以轻易服药，否则无妄就会变成有妄，会出现别的后遗症。对九五而言，属于阳爻居刚位，又是君主之位，与六二正应，所以不会有什么过错，出现了问题时，单凭自己的时与位就可化解。
占得此爻者，当你被某个问题或麻烦困扰时，会非常烦恼，想放下手上的工作去解决它。结果你会发现，原来没有必要去管它，因为真正的问题并不存在，那只是个无中生有的事情，不去理会它，它也会自行消失的。就像拴在村口路旁的牛被路过的人牵走了，全村的人都受到怀疑，你尽管踏踏实实去做自己的事，没有必要停下来，向每个人去解释自己是清白的。你坚守正道，别人了解你是品德高尚的人之后，自然不会怀疑你了。
在单位，如果有人诬蔑你，或是给你造谣，或者受到了无妄的猜疑，你尽管去做自己的事，不去理会它，用自己的品行来说话，那些事就会不攻自破，自行消失的。

九五：无妄之疾，勿药有喜。
《象传》曰：无妄之药，不可试也。
“疾”犹灾也。五动体《坎》，《坎》为疾，故曰疾。疾之来也，有由自致者，有因天时而非自致者，非由自致而疾者，即所谓“无妄之疾”也。“无妄之疾”，如在天为日之食，风之暴，雨之淫，雷之迅，皆一时阴阳之偏，偶触而来，时过则平，未可以药救也。在人，“无妄之疾”亦犹是焉，不容以药治之也，故曰“勿药有喜”。“有喜”，谓疾去而为喜也。当疾之时，以药治之耳，五爻刚中得位，天德全，《无妄》之至者也，复何遗憾？爻之取象于疾者，盖以汤之幽夏台，文之囚羑里，或有为盛德之累者焉。此则谓无妄之疾也，顺以守之，祸患自释，即“勿药”之义焉。《象传》曰“无妄之药，不可试也，”“无妄之疾”，本非真疾，药之反成疾矣，故曰“不可试”，慎之至也。
【占】　问时运：目下气运当正，意外之事，不必介意，全乎在我而已。
○　问商业：凡一时物价，无故上落，皆无害商业，过时自平，切勿扰动。
○　问家宅：防有风扫雪压倾圯之患，然无大害，致有喜兆。
○　问战征：防军队中有时疫流行之患，宜洁净营屯，勿妄用药。无咎。
○　问行人：恐中途有涉意外之事，然即归来
○　问讼事：有意外牵涉，不辩自释。
○　问六甲：生男。
○　问失物：不寻自得。
【例】　明治二十二年，占某贵显气运，筮得《无妄》之《噬嗑》。
断曰：五爻阳刚中正，下与二应，可谓《无妄》之至者也。今占得此爻，知某贵显德高望隆，复有何病？但道高招谤，或遭意处之嫌，是即“无妄之疾”也。宜勿与辩，逾时自释，若一为计较，转致多事，故曰“无妄之疾，勿药有喜”。
某贵显不用此占，遂酿纷纭，翌年遂罢职闲居。
【例】　明治十五年八月，余弟德右卫门，患大肠痞结，聘医师守永某，乞诊服药，数日不愈。某曰：是非施截解术，不可治也。谋之佐藤国手，余复为占施术之适否，筮得《无妄》之《噬嗑》。
断曰：“无妄之疾”，非自致也。今弟之疾，亦自然而发，非关自致。爻曰“勿药有喜”，盖为不假人治也，是宜安养任其自然，三周间（《震》之数为三八）后，必可愈快。后服补药，不复施术，三周后，果得痊治。
【例】　占明治三十年海军之气运，筮得《无妄》之《噬嗑》。
断曰：《无妄》全卦，卦德为真实无妄，括言之曰正。《彖》辞曰“非正有眚”，眚灾害也，故《说卦》曰“无妄灾也”。今占得五爻，曰“无妄之疾，勿药有喜，”“无妄之疾”，犹言意外之灾也，恐海军中于九十两月中，必有非常之惊异也。此事非关人为，实由天意，非可强也。
后横须贺镇守府长官相浦中将，巡见北海道炭山，余在汽车相晤，告以此占，中将如不介意。然至九月，闻扶桑舰沉没豫海，占兆乃验。

Line-5
Legge: The fifth line, dynamic, shows one who is free from insincerity, and yet has fallen ill. Let him not use medicine, and he will have occasion for joy in his recovery.

Wilhelm/Baynes: Use no medicine in an illness incurred through no fault of your own. It will pass of itself.
Blofeld: Unexpected illness, but it will be best not to treat it.
Liu: For an unexpected illness, use no medicine. Good fortune will follow.
Ritsema/Karcher: Without Embroiling's affliction. No medicinal herbs, possessing rejoicing.
Shaughnessy: The pestilence's illness: there is no medicine but there is happiness.
Cleary (1): For sickness without error don’t use medicine; there will be joy.
Wu: He feels sick being free from vainness. He will be happy for having taken no medicine.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Medicine in the case of one who is free from insincerity should not be tried at all. Wilhelm/Baynes: One should not try an unknown medicine. Blofeld: What this really means is that we should avoid applying untried remedies. Ritsema/Karcher: Not permitting testing indeed. Cleary (2): Medicine should not be tried when nothing is wrong. Wu: No medicine should be taken for being free from vainness.
Legge: Line five is dynamic in the central place of honor, and has a proper correlate in line two. Hence he must possess the qualities of the hexagram in perfection. Nevertheless, he is sick or in distress. He need not be anxious -without his efforts a way of escape will be opened for him. The idea is that sickness shouldn't happen to one who is perfectly sincere, and if it does happen it must refer to some inexplicable will of Heaven. If such is the cause, then so shall it cure.

Siu: Unexpected evil comes to the man through no fault of his own. He should not anxiously resort to hasty remedies. Nature will overcome the evil in her own way and at her own pace.
Wing: What may appear as an unfortunate turn of events has internal causes. External remedies will not solve the problem. What is occurring is an inner process. Let nature take its course. The solution will come of itself.

Editor: Wilhelm observes: "That he appears ill comes from his way of taking the illnesses of others upon himself.” This can refer to both other people in the
outer world, or to "others" in the inner world of the psyche -- our autonomous drives, appetites, emotions, etc. The psychological concept of "co- dependence” often applies to this line. I have reflected a great deal upon the magical powers of the soul of man, and I have discovered a great many secrets in Nature, and I will tell you that he only can be a true physician who has acquired this power. If our physicians did possess it, their books might be burnt and their medicines be thrown into the ocean, and the world would be all the more benefited by it.
Paracelsus
A. Do nothing and things will improve by themselves.
B. You bear the illusions of others as if they were your own. Codependence helps nobody.
C. "If it ain't broke, don't fix it."

《象辞》说：谬妄的行为，是绝望无聊的表现。

北宋易学家邵雍解
平：得此爻者，好运已过，不可妄动，否则是非迭生，唯有变通可免祸。做官的妄动有被贬职之忧。

台湾国学大儒傅佩荣解
时运：好运已终，不可妄动。
财运：暂时静守，勿再投资。
家宅：慎勿迁移。
身体：年老颐养。

上九变卦

  上九爻动变得周易第17卦：泽雷随。这个卦是异卦（下震上兑）相叠，震为雷，为动；兑为悦，动而悦就是“随”。随指相互顺从，己有随物，物能随己，彼此沟通。随必依时顺势，有原则和条件，以坚贞为前提。

上九爻的哲学含义

无妄卦第六爻，爻辞：上九：无妄，行有眚，无攸利。
爻辞释义：眚：自身原因造成的祸患。本爻辞的意思是：没有虚妄，行动会遇到灾祸，没有任何好处。
上九：无妄，行有眚，无攸利。象曰：无妄之行，穷之灾也。
经文意思是：不要妄为，行动会有灾害,前往不会有利。
象辞意思是：之所以不要妄为行事，是因为会有末路穷途之灾。
《象》曰：“无妄之行”，穷之灾也。这里指出：“虽然没有妄念，但如有行动却仍然遭受祸殃”，这是由于客观的时遇所造成的灾祸，不以人的意志为转移。
有些时候，即使内心摆脱了虚妄，但是在做事时，由于客观环境或是时机不对，面临许多不利因素，这个时候，你要学会观察环境，等待时机。
上九居于全卦的最上方，处于极亢之位。在这种位置上，更不能胆大妄为，最好少行动，什么事也别做。这就好比一个人，有过激情绪，说话做事都不能保持适中的原则。这种人居于平时还不会有大的损失，但处于政治运动时期，这种人不检点自己，就要大祸临头了。因为极有可能被抓个典型。

上九：无妄，行有眚，无攸利。
《象传》曰：无妄之行，穷之灾也。
上爻阳居卦之终，为《无妄》之极，极而复行，行必有眚，有何利焉！《彖》辞所谓“非正有眚”，盖指上也。上与三应，三为“邑人”，上为“行人”，三之灾，自上致之；三既被灾，上岂能无眚乎？《象》曰“穷之灾也”，位已上穷，复欲进行，是穷极而为害也。

【例】　每年一月，余必避寒于热海。明治二十二年一月，静罔县知事关口隆吉君偶巡回县下，同宿汤户某家。关口氏为幕府旧士，尝学于昌平校，夙具才学，维新之际，五棱廓将帅之一也。氏索余占当岁气运，筮得《无妄》之《随》。
断曰：异哉，何其爻象之凶也！《说卦》曰“无妄灾也”，“灾”谓天灾，是天降之灾也。爻辞曰“行有眚，无攸利”，观此爻象，恐于行路中，忽遭祸变。“眚”，损也，必身体大有损伤。《象》曰“穷之灾也”，言灾害之至极也。余就占象直言，吉人天相，君勿过虑，慎之而已。关口氏闻之，面为失色。
后见新闻纸报道，阿部川城之越间汽车冲突，关口知事被伤，政府闻之，遣侍医偌藤桥本医治。余阅报惊曰：果哉关口君，竟罹“无妄之灾”！愈感《 易》占之神知，悚然者久之。
一日得静罔警部长相原安次郎氏来函云，知事被灾，果应热海之占，不堪敬服。今欲再占知事之生命如何，烦为一筮回告。筮得《泰》之《大畜》。
爻辞曰：“上六：城复于隍。”《象传》曰：“诚复于隍，其命乱也。”
断曰：《泰》为天地交泰之卦，今占得上爻，是《泰》之将终，转而为《否》之时。“城复于隍”者，倾毙之象；“其命乱”者，谓命之不全也。即以此旨答之。
时见者多怪余断之凶，曰：据医师诊断，有回生之兆，是新闻纸所报也，贵断毋乃过乎？余曰：诸君有疑，请俟诸他日。未几，关口氏讣至，于是当时诸君皆感服《易》占之妙用。
后复晤相原氏，氏曰当时得子返书，已知事不起。怀书往访，知事谓余曰：今春热海游浴之时，高岛氏占象，预诫余之遭难，果若此，殆夫命也。近得医治，言可回生，尚为幸耳。余因叹息，不忍以贵占出示。谈及当时车变云，此日知事至静罔停车场，适将发铁石杂车，知事急麾之，驿吏命暂停，使知事乘之。迨进行二里余，至铁路屈曲处，忽前面汽车蓦地驶来，与之冲突，轰然一声，积载货物，悉飞天外，乘客中即死一人，负伤二人，知事其一也。余本同行，因知事心急，单身乘车，余未知之，得免于祸，幸哉！
翌年春，晤关口氏养子某于热海，曰：亡父平素语足下《 易》学，去岁自热海归，每闲居读君《易》断，至《无妄》一卦，常三复不已。

Line-6
Legge: The sixth line, dynamic, shows its subject free from insincerity, yet sure to fall into error if he takes action. His action will not be advantageous in any way.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Innocent action brings misfortune. Nothing furthers.
Blofeld: If it is unexpected, a journey now would be injurious. This is a time favorable for those with no destination in view.
Liu: Innocent action brings disaster. No advantage.
Ritsema/Karcher: Without Embroiling. Moving possessing blunder. Without direction: Harvesting. [Without direction: Harvesting, WU YU Li: no plan or direction is advantageous; in order to take advantage of the situation, do not impose a direction on events.]
Shaughnessy: The pestilence's motion; there is an inspection; there is no place to benefit.
Cleary (1): If fidelity in action has faults, there is no benefit. [This is fidelity not knowing when enough is enough.]

Cleary (2): Even if there is no error, action involves misfortune, so no benefit is gained. [This refers to clinging to a constant and not knowing how to change adaptively.]
Wu: Even without vainness, he will face calamities if he chooses to act. There is nothing to gain. [The sixth is not a position for doing anything aggressively. There is nothing sensible for the sixth to undertake. Doing what is not supposed to be done is an overextension.]
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: Action is inappropriate now because the time for it has passed. Wilhelm/Baynes: Action without reflection brings about the evil of bewilderment. Blofeld: An unexpected journey now would plunge us into a state of dangerous exhaustion. Ritsema/Karcher: Exhaustion's calamity indeed. Cleary (2): Action without error involves misfortune when it comes to an impasse. Wu: the action taken without vainness will result in calamities from overextension.
Legge: Line six is at the top of the hexagram, and comes into the field when the action has run its course. He should be still, and not initiate any fresh movement. When a thing is over and done, submission and acquiescence are what are
required -- not renewed attempts at action.
Anthony: When innocent action begins to meet with resistance, it is best to disconnect and fall back on acceptance. We should work with a situation only when it works with us, going only so far as openness in the other person allows. Waiting quietly without ulterior designs means to truly disconnect, inwardly, and go on our way.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The time is not ripe for further progress. The man keeps still. Activities in opposition to fate will not help him in any way.
Wing: Progress is impossible. Even innocent actions will create chaos. Do not attempt anything new, nor try to improve upon your surroundings. Do not do anything at all.
Editor: Wilhelm compares the import of this line to line six of The Dynamic: "Arrogant dragon will have cause to repent.” Ritsema/Karcher’s “In order to take advantage of the situation, do not impose a direction on events” puts a slightly different spin on the meaning, suggesting that circumstances will improve if you can keep from meddling.
Today's achievement is only tomorrow's confusion. -- W. D. Howells

A. Ignorant choices create confused consequences.
B. Sit tight -- allow the situation to unfold without taking action.
