问：「『一日克己复礼，天下归仁』，朱子作效验说，如何？」
先生曰：「圣贤只是为己之学，重功夫不重效验。仁者以万物为体[1]，不能一体，只是己私未忘。全得仁体，则天下皆归于吾仁，就是『八荒皆在我闼』意；天下皆与，其仁亦在其中，如『在邦无怨，在家无怨』，亦只是自家不怨，如『不怨天，不尤人』之意；然家邦无怨于我，亦在其中，但所重不在此。」
问：「『一日克己复礼，天下归仁』，朱子当作效验讲，如何？」
先生说：「圣贤只是为己之学，重功夫不重效验。仁者以万物为体，不能一体，只是己私未忘。全得仁体，则天下皆归于吾仁，就是『八荒皆在我闼』的意思；天下皆在其中，其仁也在其中。如『在邦无怨，在家无怨』，也只是自家不怨，如『不怨天，不尤人』的意思；然而家邦对我无怨，也在其中，只是所重不在此。」
Asked: 'One day mastering self and returning to propriety, the whole world returns to humaneness — Zhu read it as the fruit. How?'
The Master said: 'Sage and worthy learning is for one's own self: the work is the weight, not the fruit. The humane take the ten thousand things as their body; failure to be one body is only self not yet forgotten. Humaneness' body whole, the world all returns to my humaneness — the eight wilds within my gates; the world all given, and the humaneness therein. As no resentment in the state, none in the family — only one's own non-resenting, like no grudging heaven, no blaming men; yet state and family free of resentment toward me is also therein — only the weight lies elsewhere.'
