Innocence · Tian Lei Wu Wang
Innocence — action that does not calculate and therefore does not fail.
The traditional reading
Hexagram 25 is the deed done without a hidden script — no scheming, no angle, no expecting reward. Such spontaneous right action carries an unexpected strength and, at its height, an unexpected blessing. But do not manufacture innocence; only the uncalculated act is truly without fault.
