7. 真味是淡至人如常
7. Genuine flavor only lies in light and mild food; and a man of perfect morality is no different from ordinary people.

醲肥辛甘 ^① 非真味，真味只是淡；神奇卓异 ^② 非至人 ^③ ，至人只是常。

① 醲肥辛甘：泛指丰盛的酒菜。

② 神奇卓异：标新立异，与众不同。

③ 至人：修为和学识达到最高境界的人。俗称高人。

美酒佳肴并不是真正的美味，真正的美味是清淡甘平。

标新立异并不是高人的作为，高人的作为与常人无异。

Genuine flavor is derived not from good wine and delicious food, but from that which tastes light and mild.

The man of perfect morality is not such a one who is peculiar in action, but the one who is similar to ordinary people.
