六三益之独可用于凶事者以其固有之也谓专固自任其事也居下当禀承于上乃专任其事唯救民之凶灾拯时之艰急则可也乃处急难变故之权宜故得无咎若平时则不可也
六四中行告公从利用为依迁国 四当益时处近君之位居得其正以柔防辅上而下顺应于初之刚阳如是可以益于上也唯处不得其中而所应又不中是不足于中也故云若行得中道则可以益于君上告于上而获信从矣以柔防之体非有刚特之操故利用为依迁国为依依附于上也迁国顺下而动也上依刚中之君而致其益下顺刚阳之才以行其事利用如是也自古国邑民不安其居则迁迁国者顺下而动也
象曰告公从以益志也 爻辞但云得中行则告公而获从象复明之曰告公而获从者告之以益天下之志也志苟在于益天下上必信而从之事君者不患上之不从患其志之不诚也
九五有孚惠心勿问元吉有孚惠我徳 五刚阳中正居尊位又得六二之中正相应以行其益何所不利以阳实在中有孚之象也以九五之徳之才之位而中心至诚在惠益于物其至善大吉不问可知故云勿问元吉人君居得致之位操可致之权苟至诚益于天下天下受其大福其元吉不假言也有孚惠我徳人君至诚益于天下天下之人无不至诚爱戴以君之徳泽为恩惠也 象曰有孚惠心勿问之矣惠我徳大得志也 人君有至诚惠益天下之心其元吉不假言也故云勿问之矣天下至诚懐吾徳以为惠是其道大行人君之志得矣
上九莫益之或击之立心勿恒凶 上居无位之地非行益于人者也以刚处益之极求益之甚者也所应者隂非取善自益者也利者众人所同欲也专欲益己其害大矣欲之甚则昏蔽而忘义理求之极则侵夺而致仇怨故夫子曰放于利而行多怨孟子谓先利则不夺不餍圣贤之深戒也九以刚而求益之极众人所共恶故无益之者而或攻击之矣立心勿恒凶圣人戒人存心不可専利云勿恒如是凶之道也所当速改也
