Great possession means greatness of possession. As for the qualities of the hexagram, above is fire , luminous, and below is heaven , strong. Acting strongly with lucidity, producing understanding in the midst of strength, growing increasingly illumined as strength increases, growing increasingly strong as illumination increases, it is therefore called great possession.

This hexagram represents wealth with daily renewal, governing the inward with strictness; it follows on the previous hexagram obstruction. In obstruction, yin energy acts while yang energy retires; one accepts the false and loses the real, obstructing the openness of consciousness, becoming darker and darker daily until the original celestial virtues are completely gone. If you want to restore celestial qualities, producing something where there is nothing, it cannot be done but for the path of strength and illumination.

What is strength? It is the moment of pure truth, adamantly strong and unbending. What is illumination? It is illumining myriad things, with open consciousness undimmed. If one can be strong, the mind is firm and the will far-reaching, cultivating every appropriate path and establishing every virtue, having such wealth in abundance. If one can be lucid, one can discern principles clearly and thoroughly, seeing surely with real knowledge, taking to whatever is good, reforming every fault, being daily renewed.

Once one is strong and lucid, one has inner autonomy and cannot be moved by anything. This is real true practice. It is like the sun being in the sky, its light shining on everything, covering everything; nothing can deceive it. Yellow sprouts cover the earth, golden flowers bloom throughout the world; wherever one may walk, everywhere is the Tao. With the greatness of possession and the far range of action, nothing started fails to develop.

Great possession means greatness of possession. Above is fire , below is heaven ; this is fire in the sky—when the sun is in the sky, much is produced, the sun shines afar. Everything is under the sun in the sky. This is the image of great possession.

What superior people see in this is that the nature of celestial order is one integral principle, in which all that is good is ultimately assembled; this is basic great possession. But because of mixture with temporal conditioning, once cognitive consciousness comes into play the primordial is damaged. From this point on good and bad mix; those with great possession come to have little possession, and those with little possession come to have nothing. Therefore, as soon as a bad thought arises, superior people immediately stop it, and as soon as a good thought arises, they promote it, obeying heaven and finding happiness in its order.

If one cannot find happiness in the celestial order, it is because of not being able to obey heaven; not obeying heaven is due to not being able to stop evil and promote good. If one can stop evil and promote good, eventually one will reach ultimate good without evil; with true sanity always present, one returns to the pristine state of completeness, which is the order of heaven. Then one goes from destitution to possession, from possession to greatness.

Human life in the world has a mission, which alone is important; with this direction there is life, without it there is death. If one cannot find happiness in this mission, this direction, this order, everything else is empty and false. That to which heaven directs humanity is only good; if one can find happiness in that command, then this is obeying heaven. Obeying heaven is the way to obey the command; finding happiness in the celestial mandate is the way to find happiness in heaven.

Having the direction of heaven is the greatest of possessions; but having the direction of heaven lies entirely in stopping evil and promoting good. Stopping evil and promoting good is illumination; obeying heaven and finding happiness in its order is strength. Strength is the substance, illumination is the function; open awareness unobscured embraces myriad principles and responds to myriad things.

Through clarification of the quality of illumination, one eventually reaches ultimate good, wholly integrated with the celestial design, nature and life stabilized. No possession is more substantial than this, no greatness is greater than this. No external possessions in the world can compare with it.
