Classical Chinese Text
九二 曳其輪。貞吉。
曳其輪
Wilhelm Translation
He brakes his wheels. Perseverance brings good fortune.
Commentary
You brake your wheels. Perseverance brings good fortune. The time to act has not yet come, but the patience needed is not idle waiting. Instead, develop in yourself the strength that will enable you to go forward. You must have a vehicle to effect the crossing—but for now, use the brakes. Patience in the highest sense means putting brakes on strength. Do not fall asleep and lose sight of the goal.
