62. Too Little

Line 2:

Passing one's grandfather,
but meeting one's deceased mother.
Not reaching one's ruler,
but meeting one's official.
Without fault.

While unsuccessfully having tried solving a problem in a radical way, one gets to do it in a simpler way. This is not a mistake.
(The grandfather and the deceased mother refer to ancient Chinese ancestor worship. The deceased mother is not particularly high in the hierarchy of ancestors, but apparently sufficient here.)
