Thinking on it i would say hes a man who takes care with his patients. Previously he has unearthed problems others have not seen..in other words I'd say he was quite scrupulous..maybe that fits, he isn't one who is simply going through the motions, i think he believes in his work more than others, maybe 6.3 just described him.
. . . if i really can't grasp a line meaning...well not the meaning but how the meaning ever applies, i look to a time i received it for some really practical matter because then, seeing it in its most mundane form it can serve as a kind of illustration..like a parable for some deeper meaning.
last time i recall getting 6.3 for a practical matter was when i asked for a pretty direct prediction 'what will the dr do on thursday'...i was just wondering if he'd send me home, give me pills etc etc. He sent me to hospital that day for some tests...So how did 6.3 describe what he did?

Six in the third place means:
To nourish oneself on ancient virtue induces perseverance.
Danger. In the end, good fortune comes.
If by chance you are in the service of a king,
Seek not works.
3. The third SIX, divided, shows its subject keeping in the old place assigned for his support, and firmly correct. Perilous as the position is, there will be good fortune in the end. Should he perchance engage in the king's business, he will not (claim the merit of) achievement.
A wealth of responses and none i ever would have thought of. Never would have thought of 'seek expertise to settle something' (Meng) ....never would have thought of Lises idea of not going with the 'expert opinion'...which is the opposite view to Mengs isn't it ?

According to your description, I make up a story as follows:
Your doctor might have had some argument with you and you are very tough, or he might have struggled in offering you some high-level curing measures which he is against, or .........something which he must haven’t agreed upon before.
He gave in on that Thursday; otherwise, he would be in a difficult state if he acted as what he used to be. This event ended up with auspiciousness. He served you as if serving a king; he did all what he could but did not expect any benefit; the benefit might be his income, aid to diagnosis, or your appreciation.....
The above presumption comes from my understanding on the text of 6.3:

In general, I'd call 06.3 the personal unsatisfactoriness of social contracts, the price we pay for getting along or doing things in groups in order to preclude conflict. Problems aren't solved ad hoc anymore, but according to a rule, law, or rule of law, They aren't tailored to the individual anymore so there is seldom a perfect fit. A big part of the problem is that these are built or based on worst-case scenarios and so the rigidity of the prescribed solution often seems like overkill. They often seem old fashioned or way too conservative, like Victorian morality.
But Wikiwing and your book suggest that some compromise may be necessary, the outdated Victorian morality or over-scrupulousness will not work? Or have I got this wrong.
I am adding to this old thread because I have a clear understanding of this line for my situation. I was dating someone who after a couple of months communicated in an inconsistent manner that concerned me. Apparently his inconsistency wasn’t due to seeing someone else- It may have been that he was consumed with responsibilities with his kids or just didn’t feel like checking in at times. This was a new relationship and I had extended myself quite a bit (as had he in certain ways). Something in my request for more consistency and subtle bristling when it wasn’t there- (which came to a confusing head during the holidays )- may have set him off- whatever it was, he withdraw in an erratic manner without any explanation or warning and shortly thereafter ghosted me altogether. When I sought understanding for his behavior in a text- nothing. Aside from the hurt and confusion of rejection, his behavior really went against my values of human decency which are all about direct honest communication as an important demonstration of respect for the time and intimacy we shared. I was in the throes of my own compulsion for further communication with him and asked the IC- what do I do with this impulse to communicate with him? I received 6.2.3 to 33. I think line 3 in this situation meant- you’re compelled by your own values to have a decent exchange over what happened, a proper ending- but the king here is about foregoing this, letting go of my own idea of how things should be done. My old fashioned values induced me to want clarifying closure. But there’s a greater wisdom in suspending this urge. Very painful experience but grateful for the reading.
