學行卷第一 - Learning and Practice

English translation: Jeffrey S. Bullock [?] Library Resources
14 學行卷第... :
或問「進」。曰:「水。」或曰:「為其不舍晝夜與?」曰:「有是哉!滿而後漸者,其水乎?」或問「鴻漸」。曰:「非其往不往,非其居不居,漸猶水乎!」「請問木漸。」曰:「止於下而漸於上者,其木也哉!亦猶水而已矣!」
Learning and Practice:...:
Someone asked about advancing.
Yangzi said: Be like water.
The other said: Because it does not stop flowing day or night?
Yangzi said: This is it! That which fills up and then flows out gradually, is it not water?
Someone asked about the flight of the wild goose.
Yangzi said: If it is not the direction he wants to go, he does not go. If it is not the place he wants to land, he does not land. His flight is like water.
May I ask about the gradual growth of wood?
Yangzi said: It is rooted below and gradually grows upward, that is wood! Indeed, it is just like water!
