18[1]

Confucius said,[2] "The superior man has three worries: That he
does not know—can he not but worry? That he knows but does
not study[3] [what he knows]—can he not but worry? That he
studies but does not practice what he has studied—can he not
but worry? The Ode says,[4]

When I have not yet seen the superior man,
My sorrowful heart is very sad.

[OMITTED] is inadequately rendered by "study"; it is the process that, applied to knowledge
as well as experience and instruction, results in understanding. Cf. Hsin hsü
5.1b-2a: [OMITTED]; also Po hu t`ung
4.16b.

Shih 23 No. 14/2. The quotation is connected with the preceding through the
words [OMITTED] and [OMITTED].
