3 敬慎:
孔子讀易至於損益,則喟然而歎,子夏避席而問曰:「夫子何為歎?」孔子曰:「夫自損者益。自益者缺,吾是以歎也。」子夏曰:「然則學者不可以益乎?」孔子曰:「否,天之道成者,未嘗得久也。夫學者以虛受之,故曰得,苟不知持滿,則天下之善言不得入其耳矣。昔堯履天子之位,猶允恭以持之,虛靜以待下,故百載以逾盛,迄今而益章。昆吾自臧而滿意,窮高而不衰,故當時而虧敗,迄今而逾惡,是非損益之徵與?吾故曰謙也者,致恭以存其位者也。夫豐明而動故能大,苟大則虧矣,吾戒之,故曰天下之善言不得入其耳矣。日中則昃,月盈則食,天地盈虛,與時消息;是以聖人不敢當盛。升輿而遇三人則下,二人則軾,調其盈虛,故能長久也。」子夏曰:「善,請終身誦之。」
