This has been my own frustration much of the time. There have been times when Yi gives very strong and clear and relevant messages; other times it’s vague and messy and off the mark.Frustrated with vague answers, I asked the I Ching what one ought to do to get clear responses.
I received 37.2.3-61.
Well what ever it is obviously I’m not doing it cause this answer makes no sense to me at all.
Ironic! sounds like: "be familiar with the I Ching & focus on main material. Sometimes it's to the point and sometimes mocks you. Trust it anyway."Line 2: Not following whims, tending to food. Perhaps framing questions more soberly, tending to the essentials, and not flights of fancy?
Line 3: Sometimes stern, other times giggling. Again be sober in your castings, dispassionate, and conservative?
61: Inner Trust....in Yi?

I like what My_key said about line 2 - "stay in the centre and cook" - sit by the fire and take time to thoroughly "cook" the reading, stir it around good, maybe add some spices to taste (context hexagrams)?
I see your point, and agree, about letting the flavor come to you. I don't think understanding can be forced or produced on command. What I meant by "cooking" was mostly an analogy for thinking, stirring it around in your head real good. We can't force it, but maybe we can catalyze it, for lack of a better word? (But maybe this sounds too much like hexagram 50, which isn't what Yi told Rosada.)Cooking the reading implies for me some conscious action - a possible interference.
Maybe conscious and unconscious cooking helps? Inspiration can come by looking for it (looking at the context hexagrams, or at different translations or commentaries), or just because it comes unbidden as we're dusting the coffee table.
Sometimes in a reading - or in life - a response, or something that is said, or some connection that I make, etc., will produce an 'inner smile' from me; not necessarily that it's making me happy, but that I get a sense of recognition, or that something 'rings true' for me (even if sometimes it is not rational, or even 'makes sense').
The most immediate example is where I started out here, with WAYS OF BEING - which gave me this 'rings true' sense before I even started delving into your reading.

NoTea with the Mafia?? Is that a real reading??
