1 显德:
古之善为士者,谓得道之君也。微妙玄通,玄,天也。言其志节玄妙,精与天通也。深不可识。道德深远,不可识知,内视若盲,反听若聋,莫知所长。夫唯不可识,故强为之容。谓下句也。与兮若冬涉川;举事辄加重慎与。与兮若冬涉川,心难之也。犹兮若畏四邻;其进退犹犹如拘制,若人犯法,畏四邻知之也。俨兮其若容;如客畏主人,俨然无所造作也。涣兮若冰之将释,涣者,解散。释者,消亡。除情去欲,日以空虚。敦兮其若朴,敦者,质厚。朴者,形未分。内守精神,外无文采也。旷兮其若谷;旷者,宽大。谷者,空虚。不有德功名,无所不包也。浑兮其若浊。浑者,守本真,浊者,不照然。与众合同,不自专也。孰能浊以静之,徐清。孰,谁也。谁能知水之浊止而静之,徐徐自清也。孰能安以久动之,徐生。谁能安静以久,徐徐以长生也。保此道者,不欲盈。保此徐生之道,不欲奢泰盈溢。夫惟不盈,故能蔽不新成。夫为不盈满之人,能守蔽不为新成。蔽者,匿光荣也。新成者,贵功名。
