艮·止·正念知止
艮其背，不获其身，行其庭，不见其人，无咎。
艮象征止步、自我克制。抑止于背（背无知觉，喻不受主观欲望干扰），达物我两忘之境；行于庭院亦不见其人（高度专注超脱），无咎。
初六 艮其趾，无咎，利永贞。
六二 艮其腓，不拯其随，其心不快。
九三 艮其限，列其夤，厉薰心。
六四 艮其身，无咎。
六五 艮其辅，言有序，悔亡。
上九 敦艮，吉。
艮其背，不获其身，行其庭，不见其人，无咎。
Stilling oneself at the back, where there is no longer awareness of the body; walking through one's own courtyard without registering the people in it — there is nothing to fault in this.
Initial Six: Stopping right at the toes, before any step is taken -- no fault in that, and holding this discipline over time is what pays off.
Six in the second: Stopping at the calves, unable to move -- there's no way to help the one you're following, and the heart isn't at ease about it.
Nine in the third: Forcing a stop right at the waist splits the spine's own line of movement -- a dangerous rigidity that leaves the heart feeling choked.
Six in the fourth: Stopping the whole body at once, fully at rest -- nothing to fault in that.
Six in the fifth: Restraint reaches even the jaw -- words come out orderly and considered, and whatever regret there was fades away.
Nine at the top: A stillness this deep and genuine brings good fortune.
