Favor and disgrace are both the cause of shock.
Truly, the greatest trouble is that people value
their own individual self.
What is meant by saying that favor and disgrace
are both the cause of shock?
Favor is not higher (than disgrace).
When one is favored, one is shocked.
When one is disgraced, one is also shocked.
What is meant by saying that tghe greatest
trouble is that people value their own
individual self?
People are beset with the great trouble because
they assert that there is an individual self.
If they take nothing personally, then what
can they call trouble?
Therefore, only one who dedicates himselfBlessings,
to serve the world is fit to tend the world.
Only one who relinquishes the self can be
entrusted with the responsibility for the world.
