5
The woman is steadfastly auspicious, following one until the end. The man determines fittingness; to follow the woman is ominous.
Ancient Comments on the Judgment
Commitment is lasting. Firm above and yielding below, thunder and wind together, penetrating and moving, firm and yielding both respond: commitment. Commitment is flourishing, no blame, benefit in steadfastness; it is lasting in its way. The way of heaven and earth endures and does not cease. Benefit in having a course to go: when there is an end, then there is a beginning. Sun and moon obtain heaven and are able to shine long; the four seasons change and are able to endure in their completion. The sage lasts in his way, and the world is transformed into completion; observe that which is persisted in, and the actual condition of heaven, earth, and the myriad things can be seen!
