Hexagram 54 · line 2
The Marrying Maiden
歸妹Guī Mèi
One who is blind in one eye can still see. The constancy of one who lives apart is beneficial.
Line statement
九二
眇能視，利幽人之貞。
One who is blind in one eye can still see. The constancy of one who lives apart is beneficial.
Limited sight remains useful, and Line 2 favors the constancy of a person who lives apart. Its change makes Thunder below Thunder, Hexagram 51. Private steadiness and repeated shock form the contrast.
