第14章 心正见神明 人生无安逸

A man who keeps his heart properly will have the aid of deities;there are no ease and comfort in real life.

人心统耳目官骸[1]，而于百体为君[2]，必随处见神明之宰；人面合眉眼鼻口，以成一字曰苦（两眉为草，眼横鼻直而下承口，乃苦字也），知终身无安逸之时[3]。

中文注释

[1]官骸：意指人的身体器官。

[2]百体为君：（心是）人体所有器官之首。

[3]后半句由于无法用英语作类比，故转译成：“人的脸上有眉眼鼻口，如果终日愁苦而不能自遣，人生就永无安逸。”

今文解译

人的心统辖耳朵眼睛等各个器官，是人体的主宰；因此，时刻保持正常的心态，就随处都能得到神明的眷顾。

人的脸上有眉毛、眼睛、鼻子和嘴巴，组合在一起像个“苦”字（两道眉毛比作草字头，横着的眼睛和竖着的鼻子正对着下面的口，这不就是个“苦”字吗？！）；由此可知，人的一生是没有安逸可言的。

English Translation

Man's heart is the master of human body,governing ears,eyes and all other physical organs.So long as a man can keep his heart properly,wherever he goes,he will have the aid of deities.

Man's face is composed of eyebrows,eyes,nose and mouth;if they are consumed with bitterness all day long,then no ease and comfort can ever be expected for life.
