Preponderance of the Small 94象曰:'He meets the exigency (of his situation), without exceeding (the proper course):'--(he does so), the position being inappropriate (for a strong line). 'If he go forward, there will be peril, and he must be cautious:'--the result would be that his course would not be long pursued. 彖曰:Preponderance of the Small. Success. Perseverance furthers. Small things may be done; great things should not be done. The flying bird brings the message: It is not well to strive upward, It is well to remain below. Great good fortune.
