Yilin Verse
常得自如，不逢禍災。福祿自來。
Always at ease and self-possessed, meeting no calamity or disaster. Blessing and fortune come of their own accord.
— Jiao Yanshou, Yilin (Forest of Changes), 1st century BCE
Commentary
Heaven stored within the mountain settles into mountain above fire — Grace. One always finds things going smoothly, encountering neither disaster nor misfortune. Blessings and prosperity come of their own accord. The briefest of verses, its simplicity matches the hexagram perfectly. Grace is the mountain illuminated by fire below — beauty that arises naturally from inner light. The verse asks for nothing, names no threat, seeks no advantage. From Great Taming to Grace, the mountain's stored heaven becomes fire quietly glowing within the mountain. What was accumulated now simply radiates: no effort, no struggle, only the effortless grace of a life built on sufficient reserves.
