《淳德》

Library Resources
1 淳德:
古之善为道者,非以明民,将以愚之。说古之善以道治身及治国者,不以道教民明智巧诈也,将以道德教民,使质朴不诈伪。民之难治,以其智多。民之所以难治者,以其智多而为巧伪。故以智治国,国之贼;使智慧之人治国之政事,必远道德,妄作威福,为国之贼也。不以智治国,国之福。不使智慧之人治国之政事,则民守正直,不为邪饰,上下相亲,君臣同力,故为国之福也。知此两者亦稽式。两者谓智与不智也。常能智者为贼,不智者为福,是治身治国之法式也。常知稽式,是谓玄德。玄,天也。能知治身及治国之法式,是谓与天同德也。玄德深矣,远矣,玄德之人深不可测,远不可及也。与物反矣!玄德之人与万物反异,万物欲益己,玄德施与人也。然后乃至于大顺。玄德与万物反异,故能至大顺。顺天理也。
