The superior man bestows emolument on those below him, and dislikes allowing his gifts to accumulate undispensed.——from The Great Symbolism, Gui
Modern interpretation: A wise man should do some favor to his subordinates. He must control himself to avoid errors and mistakes although he has done a lot of good deeds.
Moral: Only by remaining prudent and cautious, can one have no worries about himself all his life.
Glossary: Guai is the symbol of displacing or removing. It is meant by Guai that things would fall apart as they have fully developed and reached its climax.
