大方廣佛華嚴經隨疏演義鈔 38.70

38.70

疏「持財以儉」等者，上來釋力，此下釋持，略舉其四。儉則財不散，故不可貪也。無信於物，人皆遠之，故信及豚魚，況於人乎。大車無輗，小車無軏，其何以行之哉？故可去食去兵，不可去信。「持安以不憍」者，在上不憍，高而不危，則長守富貴，斯則安矣。故百姓者水，聖人者舟，水能載舟亦能覆舟，是故不可不慎危也。若人奢侈，則力竭也。

Regarding the commentary from "Preserving wealth through frugality" down: above it explained 'strength', and from here down it explains 'preserving', briefly mentioning four. Through frugality, wealth is not dissipated; therefore one must not be greedy. Without trust in dealing with things, all people will keep their distance; therefore, when trust extends even to pigs and fish, how much more so to humans! If a large carriage lacks its crossbar or a small carriage lacks its yoke-pin, how can they travel? Thus food and weapons may be abandoned, but trust cannot be abandoned. "Preserving stability through lack of arrogance": when one in high position is not arrogant, being high without peril, one long maintains wealth and nobility, and this constitutes stability. Therefore the common people are the water, and the sage is the boat; water can carry a boat and can also capsize it, and thus one must not fail to guard against danger. If a person is extravagant, their strength will be exhausted.
