Judgment 卦辞
贞吉。观颐，自求口实。貞吉。觀頤，自求口實。
Î indicates that with firm correctness there will be good fortune (in what is denoted by it). We must look at what we are seeking to nourish, and by the exercise of our thoughts seek for the proper aliment.
Commentary on the Judgment 彖曰
颐贞吉，养正则吉也。观颐，观其所养也；自求口实，观其自养也。天地养万物，圣人养贤，以及万民；颐之时大矣哉！頤貞吉，養正則吉也。觀頤，觀其所養也；自求口實，觀其自養也。天地養萬物，聖人養賢，以及萬民；頤之時大矣哉！
