臨 → 益

Commentary

Earth above the lake encounters wind and thunder together — Increase's vital augmentation. Yet the verse is a death scene: the illness is too deep for medicine; even the great physician He cannot cure it. Destiny reaches its end, and the body descends to a thatched grave. The irony is devastating — Increase as the destination, but the verse narrates terminal loss. From Approach to Increase, the transformation suggests that what increases is not always what we wish: sometimes it is the illness itself that compounds beyond remedy. Wind and thunder in Yi should bring growth, but here they become the storm that accompanies the final departure. Even the Yi's augmenting power cannot override exhausted fate.
