Overall meaning:

This hexagram suggests that through focused awareness and inner clarity, one can navigate situations with wisdom, making choices that align with truth and authenticity. It emphasizes the need to stay connected to one's core principles and to illuminate the path not only for oneself but also for others. However, this clarity requires discipline and awareness; just as fire needs careful tending to avoid burning out, clarity must be sustained with mindful attention and integrity.
