因论先生之门,某人在涵养上用功,某人在识见[1]上用功。

先生曰:「专涵养者,日见其不足;专识见者,日见其有余。日不足者,日有余矣;日有余者,日不足矣。」

有人谈到先生门下:某人在涵养上用功,某人在识见上用功。

先生说:「专务涵养的,天天看见自己不足;专务识见的,天天看见自己有余。天天见不足的,天天有余;天天见有余的,天天不足。」

It was said that among the Master's followers one worked at nourishing the mind, another at widening insight.

The Master said: 'He who works only at nourishing daily sees his lack; he who works only at insight daily sees his plenty. Who daily sees his lack, daily has more; who daily sees his plenty, daily has less.'

  1. 识见:外向求知。
