Méng (蒙) — Youthful Folly

Mountain above Water — the spring that hasn't yet found its course. The Judgment frames this as the student seeking the teacher, not the teacher seeking the student: "I do not seek the youthful and inexperienced; he seeks me." The not-knowing here is useful — what's about to be learned can only be learned because it hasn't been learned yet. Approach with genuine questions rather than half-formed conclusions.
