Youthful Folly 64 象曰:'The regret arising from ignorance bound in chains' is due to the special distance of (the subject of this line) from the solidity (shown in lines 2 and 6).
彖曰:Youthful Folly has success. It is not I who seek the young fool; The young fool seeks me. At the first oracle I inform him. If he asks two or three times, it is importunity. If he importunes, I give him no information. Perseverance furthers.

烏尾得庵居士,余素所敬信也。明治二十三年(1889)十二月,與古莊嘉門氏等數人訪余,曰:明年以國會開設之期,吾輩立一主義,欲有所倡導,請占其氣運如何?筮得蒙之未濟。

此卦山前水氣蒸發,朦朧不明之像。《易》有屯、困、蹇、坎四難卦,其當之者,不能容易脫險,如蒙則否,雖陷坎險,由其爻之所居,有智識者,自得免險也。

今以四爻觀之,承乘應皆陰柔,無助吾之力,在人則無賢師良友,不得啟發其蒙之時也,故曰「困蒙,吝」。

君學通古今,才兼文武,其所欲倡導之主義,為天下之公道,加之以卓絕之識見,豪邁之膽力,故以理論之,如天下無敵者。

然得蒙卦則天下之人,總如童蒙,不識是非邪正,猶暗夜不辨鳥之雌雄,是以君雖說得中正道理,終不能開發其悟。

「困蒙」者,是無其效也,然過此一年,至五爻「童蒙吉」之時,下有九二陽爻之應,得以輔導,自可大遂其志也。

後果如此占。
