📜 ᱛᱷᱚᱠ ᱧᱮᱞᱢᱟ (Wang Bi · Legge · AI Modern)
James Legge (1891)
To know and yet (think) we do not know is the highest (attainment); not to know (and yet think) we do know is a disease. It is simply by being pained at (the thought of) having this disease that we are preserved from it. The sage has not the disease.
