達生 - The Full Understanding of Life

English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《達生》 Library Resources
13 達生:
工倕旋而蓋規矩,指與物化,而不以心稽,故其靈臺一而不桎。忘足,履之適也;忘要,帶之適也;知忘是非,心之適也;不內變,不外從,事會之適也。始乎適而未嘗不適者,忘適之適也。
The Full Understanding of...:
The artisan Chui made things round (and square) more exactly than if he had used the circle and square. The operation of his fingers on (the forms of) things was like the transformations of them (in nature), and required no application of his mind; and so his Intelligence was entire and encountered no resistance. To be unthought of by the foot that wears it is the fitness of a shoe; to be unthought of by the waist is the fitness of a girdle. When one's wisdom does not think of the right or the wrong (of a question under discussion), that shows the suitability of the mind (for the question); when one is conscious of no inward change, or outward attraction, that shows the mastery of affairs. He who perceives at once the fitness, and never loses the sense of it, has the fitness that forgets all about what is fitting.

外物 - What comes from Without

English translation: James Legge [?]
Books referencing 《外物》 Library Resources
13 外物:
荃者所以在魚,得魚而忘荃;蹄者所以在兔,得兔而忘蹄;言者所以在意,得意而忘言。吾安得忘言之人而與之言哉?」
What comes from Without:...:
Fishing-stakes are employed to catch fish; but when the fish are got, the men forget the stakes. Snares are employed to catch hares, but when the hares are got, men forget the snares. Words are employed to convey ideas; but when the ideas are apprehended, men forget the words. Fain would I talk with such a man who has forgot the words!
