又曰:「此道至简至易的,亦至精至微的。孔子曰:『其如示诸掌乎。』且人于掌,何日不见?及至问他掌中多少文理,却便不知。即如我『良知』二字,一讲便明,谁不知得?若欲的见[1]良知,却谁能见得?」
问曰:「此知恐是无方体的,最难捉摸。」
先生曰:「良知即是《易》:『其为道也屡迁,变动不居,周流六虚,上下无常,刚柔相易,不可为典要,惟变所适。』此知如何捉摸得?见得透时便是圣人。」
又说:「此道是至简至易的,也是至精至微的。孔子说『其如示诸掌乎』。人对自己的手掌,哪一天不见?等到问他掌中有多少纹理,却不知道了。就像我『良知』二字,一讲便明,谁不知道?若要真切地见得良知,又有谁能见得?」
问:「这个知恐怕是无方体的,最难捉摸。」
先生说:「良知就是《易》:『其为道也屡迁,变动不居,周流六虚,上下无常,刚柔相易,不可为典要,惟变所适。』这个知怎么捉摸得?见得透时便是圣人。」
He also said: 'This Way is utterly simple and easy, and utterly subtle and fine. Confucius: is it not like showing the palm? What day does a man not see his palm? Ask how many lines lie in it — he knows not. So with my two words innate knowledge: explain once and it is plain — who does not know it? But to see it truly — who can see it?'
'This knowing, I fear, has no place or form — past catching.'
'Innate knowledge is the Changes: its way shifts ever, moving without staying, streaming through the six voids, above and below without constancy, hard and soft exchanging, no canon to hold, going only as change bids. How catch it? See it through, and one is a sage.'
