小亨。利有攸往。利見大人。
Sun intimates that (under the conditions which it denotes) there will be some little attainment and progress. There will be advantage in movement onward in whatever direction. It will be advantageous (also) to see the great man.

全以巽為德,是以小亨也。上下皆巽,不違其令,命乃行也。故申命行事之時,上下不可以不巽也。 巽悌以行,物無距也。 大人用之,道愈隆。
正義曰「巽者卑順之名。《說卦》云:「巽,入也。」蓋以巽是象風之卦,風行無所不入,故以「入」為訓。若施之於人事,能自卑巽者,亦無所不容。然巽之為義,以卑順為體,以容入為用,故受「巽」名矣。上下皆巽,不為違逆,君唱臣和,教令乃行,故於重巽之卦,以明申命之理。雖上下皆巽,命令可行,然全用卑巽,則所通非大,故曰「小亨」。 正義曰:巽悌以行,物無違距,故曰「利有攸往」。 正義曰:但能用巽者,皆無往不利,然大人用巽,其道愈隆,故曰「利見大人」,明上下皆須用巽也。
