Waiting (Nourishment) 66 象曰:'Guests come unurged (to give their help), and if (the subject of the line) receive them respectfully, there will be good fortune in the end:'--though the occupant and the place are not suited to each other, there has been no great failure (in what has been done).
彖曰:Waiting. If you are sincere, You have light and success. Perseverance brings good fortune. It furthers one to cross the great water.

明治二十二年(1889)十二月,友人神保長兵衛之妻,罹為癌而臥,余占其生死,卜得需之小畜。

需者待之意,又為遊魂之卦。遊魂者,即人之魂魄離其體而出遊之謂也。是天命既絕,然需緩有待,暫時猶可保餘命也。

此占以上爻居全卦之終,無所可往,往則復也,故病不愈而死,魂魄復其本也。

爻辭「入於穴」者,埋葬之兆;「有不速之客三人來」者,謂僧之來而送葬也;「敬之終吉」者,為安心堅固,得成佛也。此卦雖原來非歸魂之卦,由爻辭而知其必死也。

後,不日果歿。
