◎阙题
验(yan)行镜其身、自(zi)知可为得(de)失法。贤明(ming)智乃(nai)包裹天地,积书无极,而不能自(zi)寿益命,此名空(kong)虚无实道也,术士(shi)之师也,久久还自(zi)穷之。
学能遍授天文地(di)理,悉(xi)解万物之情,众书并(bing)合备(bei)具,而不(bu)能事(shi)亲尊君,此知(zhi)(zhi)无益(yi)也。详思此言(yan),吉凶可知(zhi)(zhi)矣。此以简行,即令(ling)人自知(zhi)(zhi)得失。
◎阙题
学问何(he)者(zhe)(zhe)为急?故(gu)陈列二事,分明(ming)士意(yi)失得(de)之(zhi)(zhi)象。自开辟以来,行有二急,其(qi)余欲知(zhi)(zhi)之(zhi)(zhi)亦(yi)可,不(bu)知(zhi)(zhi)之(zhi)(zhi)亦(yi)可。天地(di)(di)与圣(sheng)明(ming)所(suo)务(wu),当推(tui)行而大得(de)者(zhe)(zhe),寿孝为急。寿者(zhe)(zhe),乃与天地(di)(di)同优也(ye);孝者(zhe)(zhe),与天地(di)(di)同力也(ye)。故(gu)寿者(zhe)(zhe)长生,与天同精。孝者(zhe)(zhe),下承顺其(qi)上(shang),与地(di)(di)同声。此二事者(zhe)(zhe),得(de)天地(di)(di)之(zhi)(zhi)意(yi),凶害自去。深(shen)思此意(yi),太平之(zhi)(zhi)理(li)也(ye),长寿之(zhi)(zhi)要也(ye)。
诸欲为善(shan)求活者(zhe)(zhe)少,故(gu)父(fu)母者(zhe)(zhe),生之(zhi)根也(ye)(ye);君者(zhe)(zhe),授荣尊之(zhi)门也(ye)(ye);师(shi)者(zhe)(zhe),智(zhi)之(zhi)所出,不穷之(zhi)业也(ye)(ye)。此三者(zhe)(zhe),道(dao)德之(zhi)门户也(ye)(ye)。父(fu)母,乃传(chuan)天地阴阳祖统也(ye)(ye);师(shi)者(zhe)(zhe),乃晓知天地之(zhi)意(yi),解凡事(shi)之(zhi)结;君者(zhe)(zhe),当承天地,顺阴阳,常务得(de)其意(yi),以理道(dao)为事(shi)。故(gu)此三者(zhe)(zhe),性命之(zhi)门户也(ye)(ye)。深(shen)思此言,万(wan)害除矣(yi)。
寿(shou)孝(xiao)者(zhe),神灵所(suo)爱(ai)好也(ye);不(bu)寿(shou)孝(xiao)者(zhe),百祸(huo)所(suo)趋也(ye)。此道自然不(bu)用力(li),欲知其效(xiao),常随人意(yi)善(shan)恶所(suo)致。心(xin)意(yi)谋(mou)事于内,响(xiang)应于外(wai),欲知其道,正影响(xiang)之应也(ye)。心(xin)以意(yi)吉凶之门户。古(gu)者(zhe)太平之君,其理要但用心(xin)意(yi)善(shan),即臣善(shan);用意(yi)误(wu),得臣亦(yi)误(wu)。心(xin)意(yi),天地枢机也(ye),不(bu)可妄动也(ye),使(shi)和(he)气错乱,灾害日生矣。
