问明卷第六 - Asking About Seeing Clearly

English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] Library Resources
18 问明卷第... :
或问“活身”。曰:“明哲。”或曰:“童蒙则活,何乃明哲乎?”曰:“君子所贵,亦越用明保慎其身也。如庸行翳路,冲冲而活,君子不贵也。”
Asking About Seeing Clearly:...:
Someone asked about preserving one's life.
Yangzi said: It is a matter of illuminated wisdom.
The other said: If the young and unenlightened can preserve themselves, then how is it only a matter of illuminated wisdom?
Yangzi said: The junzi only values using his wisdom to preserve his life. If it means blundering in panic down a darkened road like a fool and somehow preserving his life, the junzi would not value it.
