商太宰蕩問仁於莊子。	Tang, the chief administrator of Shang, asked Zhuangzi about Benevolence,
莊子曰：	and the answer was,
「虎狼，仁也。」	'Wolves and tigers are benevolent.'
曰：「何謂也？」	'What do you mean?' said Tang.
莊子曰：	Zhuangzi replied,
「父子相親，	'Father and son (among them) are affectionate to one another.
何為不仁？」	Why should they be considered as not benevolent?'
曰：「請問至仁。」	'Allow me to ask about perfect benevolence,' pursued the other.
莊子曰：「至仁無親。」	Zhuangzi said, 'Perfect benevolence does not admit (the feeling) of affection.'
太宰曰：	The minister said,
「蕩聞之：	'I have heard that,
無親則不愛，	without (the feeling of) affection there is no love,
不愛則不孝。	and without love there is not filial duty
謂至仁不孝，可乎？」	- is it permissible to say that the perfectly benevolent are not filial?'
莊子曰：「不然。	Zhuangzi rejoined, 'That is not the way to put the case.
夫至仁尚矣，孝固不足以言之。	Perfect Benevolence is the very highest thing - filial duty is by no means sufficient to describe it.
此非過孝之言也，不及孝之言也。	The saying which you quote is not to the effect that (such benevolence) transcends filial duty - it does not refer to such duty at all.
夫南行者至於郢，	One, travelling to the south, comes (at last) to Ying,
北面而不見冥山，	and there, standing with his face to the north, he does not see mount Ming.
是何也？	Why does he not see it?
則去之遠也。	Because he is so far from it.
故曰：	Hence it is said,
以敬孝易，	"Filial duty as a part of reverence is easy,
以愛孝難；	but filial duty as a part of love is difficult.
以愛孝易，	If it be easy as a part of love,
以忘親難；	yet it is difficult to forget one's parents.
忘親易，	It may be easy for me to forget my parents,
使親忘我難；	but it is difficult to make my parents forget me.
使親忘我易，	If it were easy to make my parents forget me,
兼忘天下難；	it is difficult for me to forget all men in the world.
兼忘天下易，	If it were easy to forget all men in the world,
使天下兼忘我難。	it is difficult to make them all forget me."
夫德遺堯、舜而不為也，	'This virtue might make one think light of Yao and Shun, and not wish to be they.
利澤施於萬世，	The profit and beneficial influences of it extend to a myriad ages,
天下莫知也，	and no one in the world knows whence they come.
豈直太息而言仁孝乎哉！	How can you simply heave a great sigh, and speak (as you do) of benevolence and filial duty?
夫孝悌仁義，	Filial duty, fraternal respect, benevolence, righteousness,
忠信貞廉，	loyalty, sincerity, firmness, and purity
此皆自勉以役其德者也，	- all these may be pressed into the service of this virtue,
不足多也。	but they are far from sufficient to come up to it.
故曰：	Therefore it is said,
至貴，國爵并焉；	"To him who has what is most noble, all the dignities of a state are as nothing;
至富，國財并焉；	to him who has what is the greatest riches, all the wealth of a state is as nothing;
至願，名譽并焉。	to him who has all that he could wish, fame and praise are as nothing."
是以道不渝。	It is thus that the Dao admits of no substitute.
