德进二 - Te Chapter 72
吾言甚易知也 甚易行也 而人莫之能知也 莫之能行也
言有君 事有宗 夫唯无知也 是以不我知
知者希 则我贵矣
是以圣人被褐而褱玉
(常人都有这样的感觉:)“我”的话很好懂,也很容易做到的啊;但是为什么“别人”就是听不懂,也做不到啊? 语言描述的事情是有主题思想的,行事的时候是要有根有据的。正是因为认识到自己的无知,才不会觉得自己什么都知道。人知道的东西少,才会觉得“自己”很有价值。所以通达事理的人虽然穿着粗布衣服(非常谦虚,表现出无知的样子)但是实际上怀藏美玉(很有价值)。
褱,侠也。侠当作㚒。转写之误。
The reason why others do not understand or cannot do what "I" understand or can do is because they lack the same level of knowledge or understanding.
Language is used to convey ideas and actions need to be based on evidence. When one realizes their own ignorance, they do not think they know everything. The more one knows, the less they think they are valuable. Therefore, those who truly understand the principles, may appear humble and unknowledgeable, but they actually possess valuable knowledge and understanding.
