Furthering through the perseverance of a mare.

He goes astray;
But if he follows, he finds guidance.
It is favorable to find friends in the west and south,
To forego friends in the east and north.
Quiet perseverance brings good fortune.

The earth's condition is receptive devotion.
Thus the superior man who has breadth of character
Carries the outer world.
