Judgment
Legge: Following indicates successful progress and no error through firm correctness.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Following has supreme success. Perseverance furthers. No blame.
Blofeld:Following. Sublime success! Righteous persistence brings reward -- no error! [This sublime success comes, of course, only to those who follow what is right, namely the will of heaven or of those whose own will embodies it.]
Liu:Following. Great success. It is of benefit to continue. No blame.
Ritsema/Karcher: Following. Spring Growing Harvesting Trial.
Without fault. [This hexagram describes your situation in terms of being impelled or drawn into moving forward. It emphasizes that yielding to the impulse by accepting guidance is the adequate way to handle it. To be in accord with the time, you are told to: follow!]
Shaughnessy:Following: Prime receipt; beneficial to determine; there is no trouble.
Cleary (1):Following is greatly developmental: it is beneficial if correct; then there is no fault.
Cleary (2): Following is very successful, etc.
Wu: Following is primordial, pervasive, prosperous, and persevering. There will be no blame.
The Image
Legge: Thunder in the marsh: the image of Following. The superior man, in accordance with this, at nightfall enters his house and rests.
Wilhelm/Baynes: Thunder in the middle of the lake: the image of Following. Thus the superior man at nightfall goes indoors for rest and recuperation.
Blofeld: This hexagram symbolizes thunder rumbling within a swamp! When darkness falls, the Superior Man goes within and rests peacefully. [The component trigrams can be read as thunder and marsh, but also as movement and joy. In the Book of Change, joy is frequently associated with willing obedience to and glad acceptance of what is right.]
Liu: Thunder in the lake symbolizesFollowing. In the evening, the superior man rests and relaxes in his home.
Ritsema/Karcher: Marsh center possessing thunder. Following. A chun tzu uses turning-to darkening to enter a reposing pause.
Cleary (1): There is thunder in the lake, Following. Thus do superior people go inside and rest when the sun goes down.
Cleary (2): … Leaders go in and rest at sundown.
Wu: Thunder in the marsh is the symbol of Following. Thus the jun zi retires toward the twilight of the day.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: In Followingthe dynamic trigram places itself under the magnetic. We see in them the attributes of Movement and Pleasure. Through firm correctness all under heaven will be found following at such a time.
Legge: Following comes after Enthusiasm, the symbol of harmony and satisfaction. When these conditions prevail men are sure to follow. The hexagram includes the ideas of both following others and being followed by others.(Emphasis mine, Ed.) The good auspice is due to this flexibility, but in either instance the following must be guided by a reference to what is correct. The lower trigram of Movement represents the eldest son, and the upper trigram of Pleasure represents the youngest daughter. The strong places itself under the weak -- esteeming others higher than himself, and giving the idea of following. The union of Movement with Pleasure suggests the same idea.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Judgment: Following means advancement through willpower.
The Superior Man rests on his inner virtue.
In Following, the trigram of Movement "follows" the trigram of Cheerfulness: independent action subordinates itself and allows itself to be led by cheerful obedience. In terms of the Work, this symbolizes our willingness to "follow" or adhere to its principles. Psychologically interpreted, Followingmeans the compliant subordination of ego-autonomy to the Great Work of psychic integration.
Blofeld points out that the trigram of Joy, or Cheerfulness is often associated with "willing obedience to and glad acceptance of what is right." Hence the cheerful following of the intent of the Self. He explains the role of the superior man in the Image as: "It is not hard to see the connection between following and resting peacefully; for, once we have given our allegiance to others [the Self], we no longer have to worry about what should be done."
At seventy ... Confucius allowed his mind to follow whatever it desired, yet everything he did was naturally right of itself. His actions no longer needed a conscious guide. He was acting without effort. This represents the last stage in the development of the sage. Fung Yu-Lan -- A Short History of Chinese Philosophy
When received without changing lines this hexagram often takes the meaning of: "To accord with" -- in such instances the answer is an affirmation to your query.
Line 4
Legge: The fourth line, dynamic, shows us one followed and obtaining adherents. Though he is firm and correct, there will be evil. If he is sincere however in his course, and make that evident, into what error will he fall?
Wilhelm/Baynes: Following creates success. Perseverance brings misfortune. To go one's way with sincerity brings clarity. How could there be blame in this?
Blofeld: Following someone with an ulterior motive -- persisting in this course would bring misfortune. But, if as he goes his way he makes sincerity his beacon, what harm can come to him?
Liu: Success is gained by following. But to continue brings misfortune. Going the correct way leads to glory (brightness). How can there be blame?
Ritsema/Karcher: Following possessing catching. Trial: pitfall. Possessing conformity, locating-in tao uses brightening. Wherefore faulty? [Possessing conformity: "Inner and outer are in accord; confidence of the spirits has been captured..."]
Shaughnessy: In following there is a catch; determination is inauspicious. There is a return on the way; at the end of brightness, what trouble is there?
Cleary (1): Following has gain. Even if right, it is inauspicious. Truthfully remaining on the path, using understanding, what blame is there?
Cleary (2): Following gains, but it bodes ill even if right. Having faith in the way, thereby understanding, what fault is there?
Wu: To have a following may be advantageous. Despite perseverance, it will be foreboding. With confidence in his course, he can explain his intention. What blame can there be?
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: "He is followed and obtains adherents" -- according to the idea of the hexagram, this is evil. "He is sincere in his course" -- showing his intelligence, and leading to achievement. Wilhelm/Baynes: This bodes misfortune...This brings clear-sighted deeds. Blofeld: Following others with ulterior motives is surely evil; whereas sincerity along the way produces brilliant results. Ritsema/Karcher: One's righteousness: pitfall indeed... Brightening achieving indeed. Cleary (2): When following gains, the meaning is inauspicious. Having faith in the way, the understanding is successful. Wu: With confidence in his course, he can be successful.
Legge: Line four is dynamic, and in the place of a minister next to the ruler in line five. His having adherents will be injurious to the authority of the supreme ruler, and only sincere loyalty will save him from error and misfortune.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The man acquires followers who flatter, scheme, and act subservient to seek personal gains. There is a chance that he will become dependent on them because of gratifying associations, which will detract from his authority in his position of influence. He must see through such adherents and free himself from egotistical encumbrances.
Wing: Those whom you appear to influence actually have ulterior motives in their allegiance to you. Look beyond the current flattering situation into your original principled aim. Strive to act independently.
Editor: The line is a clear warning about being corrupted by the projections of others. Viewed objectively, the ego is only a temporary personality created for the purpose of transforming psychic energy – a transitional tool or vessel emanated into matter by the Self for one brief lifetime. It is only a servant--never a master. Long dedication to the Work can concentrate power which the ego may be tempted to use for its own benefit--a dangerous seduction which can only harm the Work.
By permitting credulous and vulgar admirers to congregate about thee, there is liability of falling into the error of becoming puffed up with worldly pride. Guru Gampopa --Precepts of the Gurus
A. Don't let power go to your head. Sincerity prevents ego-trips.
B. Beware of elements which would distract you from the Work. That which seems "reasonable" is often just the voice of a demon: a temptation for the misuse of power.
C. What worked previously is now obsolete. A new strategy is now appropriate.
Line 6
Legge: The sixth line, magnetic, shows us that sincerity held and clung to, yea, and bound fast. We see the king with it presenting his offerings on the Western Mountain.
Wilhelm/Baynes: He meets with firm allegiance and is still further bound. The king introduces him to the Western Mountain.
Blofeld: He obtained people's allegiance and his followers clung to him. During the time he spent on the Western Mountain, the King made sacrifice.
Liu: Deeply involved with one's fellows, one tries to continue. The King offers the Western Mountain.
Ritsema/Karcher: Grappling, tying-to it. Thereupon adhering holding-fast-to it. The king availing-of Growing tending- towards the Western mountain.
Shaughnessy: Grabbing and tying him, and thereafter binding him; the king uses aromatic grass on the western mountain.
Cleary (1): Binding and tying up; the king sacrifices on west mountain.
Cleary (2): In a binding involvement, the king sacrifices on the western mountain.
Wu: He is constrained and bound in order to follow. May a king make offerings to the gods of the western mountain.
COMMENTARY
Confucius/Legge: The idea of the hexagram has reached its extreme development. Wilhelm/Baynes: At the top it ends. Blofeld: Those above us have exhausted their merit. Ritsema/Karcher: Exhausting the above indeed.
Cleary (2): This is the upper impasse of involvement. Wu: Because he has reached the upper limit.
Legge: The concept of Followingreaches its highest representation in the topmost line. The action, directed by the most sincere devotion to what is right, influences both men and spiritual beings. The Western Mountain is Mt. Khi, at the foot of which was the original settlement of the house of Kau in 1325 B.C.
NOTES AND PARAPHRASES
Siu: The sage, who is retired, is recalled by the king because of his unique qualifications. The faithful and effective subject is rewarded.
Wing: You are called upon, by virtue of your wisdom and expertise, to lead another. You will unquestionably become involved, but you will be rewarded for your unselfish commitment.
Editor: Psychologically, Legge's commentary suggests the idea of devotion and sacrifice uniting forces in both conscious and unconscious realms of the psyche. The Confucian commentary suggests that the principle of Followingcomes to an end when ego and Self merge. To offer a sacrifice on the peak of the Western mountain: a high spiritual place where the sun sets (an image of the completed Work), implies this. Getting this line doesn't mean the Work is literally completed (it never is in this space-time dimension), but that you have probably integrated some significant inner complexes. Compare this line with 46:4.
The surrender of the limited purposes of the ego to the much larger goals of the Self -- goals within which the lesser egoic purposes are in fact meaningfully encompassed -- does not do away with the sense of freedom. On the contrary, only by subordinating the limitations of the ego to the Self do we truly justify our freedom and do we meaningfully validate our responsibility for our actions and decisions. S.A. Hoeller -- The Gnostic Jung
A. Devotion to the Work brings unity to the psyche.

Jugement
Legge : Augmentation indique un avantage dans chaque mouvement entrepris -- il sera avantageux même de traverser le grand cours d'eau.
Wilhelm/Baynes :Augmentation. Il est favorable d'entreprendre quelque chose. Il est favorable de traverser la grande eau.
Blofeld : Gain. Il est favorable d'avoir en vue un objectif (ou une destination) et de traverser la grande eau (ou mer).
Liu :Augmentation. Il est bénéfique de se mettre en route. Il est bénéfique de traverser la grande eau.
Ritsema/Karcher : Augmenter, Récolter : posséder une direction. Récolter : traverser le Grand Fleuve. [Ce hexagramme décrit votre situation en termes d'augmentation et d'avancement. Il souligne que l'expansion de la quantité et de la qualité de votre implication est la manière adéquate de la gérer. Pour être en accord avec le temps, on vous dit d'augmenter !]
Shaughnessy :Augmentation :Bénéfique ici d'avoir un endroit où aller ; bénéfique de trouver le grand fleuve.
Cleary (1) : Pour Augmentation, il est bénéfique d'aller quelque part ; il est bénéfique de traverser de grands fleuves.
Wu : Gain indique un avantage à entreprendre et à traverser un grand fleuve.
L'Image
Legge : Vent sur tonnerre -- l'image de Augmentation. Quand l'homme supérieur perçoit le bien, il s'en approche ; quand il perçoit ses défauts, il les élimine.
Wilhelm/Baynes : Vent et tonnerre : l'image de Augmentation. Ainsi l'homme supérieur : s'il voit le bien, il l'imite ; s'il a des défauts, il s'en débarrasse.
Blofeld : Ce hexagramme symbolise le vent et le tonnerre. L'Homme Supérieur, voyant ce qui est bon, l'imite ; voyant ce qui est mauvais, il le corrige.
Liu : Vent et tonnerre symbolisent Augmentation. Quand l'homme supérieur découvre le bien, il le suit. Quand il a des erreurs, il les corrige.
Ritsema/Karcher : Vent, tonnerre. Augmenter. Un chun tzu utilise la visualisation de l'amélioration, par conséquent il change. Un chun tzu utilise l'excès, par conséquent il amende.
Cleary (1) : Vent et tonnerre augmentent. Ainsi les personnes supérieures prennent le bien quand elles le voient, et corrigent les défauts qu'elles ont.
Wu : Vent et tonnerre font Gain. Ainsi, quand le jun zi voit une bonne action, il améliore la sienne immédiatement ; quand il réalise qu'il fait une erreur, il la corrige immédiatement.
COMMENTAIRE
Confucius/Legge : Augmentation montre le trigramme supérieur diminué brillamment pour augmenter le inférieur. Ce qui descend d'en haut atteint tout en bas, et la satisfaction du peuple est sans limite. L'avantage dans le mouvement est montré dans les bénédictions dispensées par les deuxième et cinquième lignes de leurs positions correctes. L'action du Bois montre qu'il est avantageux de traverser le grand cours d'eau. À travers les trigrammes de Mouvement et d'Humilité, il y a un avancement quotidien illimité -- le ciel dispense et la terre produit, et tout procède selon les exigences du temps.
Legge : Augmentation a le sens opposé au hexagramme numéro quarante et un, Sacrifice Compensatoire [Diminution]. Ce que le roi Wen avait en tête était un dirigeant ou un gouvernement opérant pour dispenser des bénéfices au peuple et augmenter leurs ressources. Les deux lignes importantes dans la figure sont les corrélats deux et cinq. L'auspice général du hexagramme est celui de réussir dans ses entreprises et de surmonter les plus grandes difficultés.
La formation des trigrammes ici est l'inverse de celle du hexagramme précédent. Le peuple est plein de plaisir dans les travaux du dirigeant pour leur bien. "L'action du Bois" dans le commentaire confucéen se réfère au trigramme supérieur, qui est le symbole du Vent et du Bois. À partir du bois, des bateaux sont fabriqués sur lesquels le grand cours d'eau peut être traversé. Dans trois hexagrammes, celui-ci, cinquante-neuf et soixante et un, où celui-ci est le trigramme supérieur, nous trouvons mention de traverser le grand cours d'eau. Dans l'Image, le tonnerre et le vent sont vus pour s'augmenter mutuellement, et leur combinaison donne l'idée d'Augmentation.
NOTES ET PARAPHRASES
Jugement : Profitez de vos opportunités.
L'Homme Supérieur reconnaît son devoir et rectifie ses erreurs. Ou : "Accentuez le positif, éliminez le négatif."
Si les sacrifices de l'ego pour le bien de l'Œuvre sont décrits dans le hexagramme précédent, ici nous voyons l'image inverse de cette figure dans laquelle c'est le Soi qui accorde ses bénédictions à la psyché. L'un implique l'autre -- dans les mots d'une vieille chanson de Blues : "Si tu ne mets rien, tu ne peux rien obtenir..." Les quarante et unième et quarante-deuxième hexagrammes sont intimement liés, et dans leur interaction dépeignent le progrès actif de l'Œuvre. Pour paraphraser la dernière phrase du commentaire confucéen : "Le Soi dispense et l'ego produit, et tout procède selon les exigences du temps."
Si un homme pèse continuellement ses actions et vise la moyenne, il est dans le plus haut des rangs humains. De cette manière, il se rapprochera de Dieu et atteindra ce qui lui appartient. C'est la plus parfaite des manières de culte. Maimonide -- Huit Chapitres
