The Gentle, the Penetrating. Success through what is small.
It furthers one to have somewhere to go.
It furthers one to see the great one.

Winds following one upon the other:
The image of the Gently Penetrating.
Thus the superior one
Spreads one's commands abroad
And carries out one's undertakings.
