放得功名富贵之心下,便可脱凡;放得道德仁义之心下,才可入圣 ① 。
① 才可入圣:在中国古代,能按仁义道德要求去处世为人的是君子,而思想行为不受其束缚却又能时时处处为人师表的则是至人或圣人。
能放下功名富贵之心的,便可以摆脱凡俗的束缚。
能摆脱仁义道德桎梏的,便可以达到圣贤的境界。
It is only by discarding the desire to seek riches and honor that one will be able to transcend the mundane world.
It is only by finding freedom from the sermon of justice and virtue that one will be able to enter sainthood.
