24 | 乾: | 「亢」之為言也,知進而不知退,知存而不知亡,知得而不知喪。其唯聖人乎!知進退存亡而不失其正者,其唯聖人乎! |
Qian: | The force of that phrase--'exceeding the proper limits'--indicates the knowing to advance but not to retire; to maintain but not to let perish to get but not to lose. He only is the sage who knows to advance and to retire, to maintain and to let perish; and that without ever acting incorrectly. Yes, he only is the sage! |
