No. 62, Preponderance of the Small / Conscientiousness:
"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."
The situation brought about by Gathering Together will soon be on the decline. This is natural: What goes up must come down.
However, you may not have reached your goal, and feel you should make one last superhuman push toward the top. The Yi advises against it.
The most successful outcome will be obtained by making small, steady steps in the right direction.
