道德經(jīng)第13章? 修身
此章闡述的是修身之道。一個(gè)人要成就一番事業(yè)必然是以修身為本。只有自己的德行能力夠了,修為深厚了才能齊家,治國(guó),平天下。只有修為深厚,能力提升才能行事經(jīng)其時(shí)間磨煉而不磨滅。沒(méi)有修為就去行事就會(huì)把造孽當(dāng)事業(yè)干。?
正文:
寵辱若驚,貴大患若身。何謂寵辱若驚?寵為上,辱為下。得之若驚,失之若驚,是謂寵辱若驚。何謂貴大患若身?吾所以有大患者,為吾有身,及吾無(wú)身,吾有何患?故貴以身為天下,若可寄天下;愛(ài)以身為天下,若可托天下。
英譯文:
To be terrified by honors and disgrace, and to avoid disaster creeping upon you as protecting your health. What does it mean by “to be terrified by honors and disgrace”? Honor raises you up; disgrace knocks you down. You are amazed to gain it and frightened to lose it. That means “to be terrified by honors and disgrace”. What does it mean by “to avoid disaster creeping upon you as protecting your health”? I fear the strike of disaster when I regard my body as part of myself. If I abandon the notion of body as self, how could fear reign over me? Therefore, value the world as yourself, and the world will be entrusted on you. Love the world as yourself, and the world will be given to you.
解析:國(guó)之本在家,家之本在身。格物,致知,誠(chéng)意,正心,修身,齊家,治國(guó)平天下。修之于身,其德乃真;齊之于家,家和萬(wàn)事興;無(wú)為治于國(guó),國(guó)泰民安;安平于天下,萬(wàn)世之太平。至天子以至于庶人皆是以愛(ài)天下如同愛(ài)自身才是長(zhǎng)生之道。?
