问『道心』、『人心』。
先生曰:「『率性之为道』,便是道心;但著些人的意思在,便是人心。道心本是无声无臭,故曰『微』;依著人心行去,便有许多不安稳处,故曰『危』。」
问「道心」与「人心」。
先生说:「『率性之谓道』,便是道心;只要着了些人的意思,便是人心。道心本是无声无臭的,所以说『微』;依着人心行去,便有许多不安稳处,所以说『危』。」
Asked about the mind of the Way and the human mind.
The Master said: 'Following nature as the Way is the mind of the Way; stir in some human intent, and it is the human mind. The mind of the Way is soundless and scentless — hence subtle; walk by the human mind, and there are many an insecure step — hence perilous.'
