Another day
Sang Hu said further to him,
'When Shun was about to die,
he charged Yu, saying,
'Be upon your guard.
(The attraction of) the person is not like that of sympathy;
the (power of) affection is not like the leading (of example).
Where there is sympathy, there will not be separation;
where there is (the leading of) example, there will be no toil.
Where there is neither separation nor toil,
you will not have to seek the decoration of forms to make the person attractive,
and where there is no such need of those forms,
。』」 there will certainly be none for external things.'
