4.58

Someone said: "'A fall into the pit, a gain in your wit.' The needle case and medicine pouch must not be lost; like treading on thin ice, say a phrase." On [their] behalf he said: "Harming others by oneself." He also said: "If you understand, things belong to one family—for now I let you pass; if you do not understand, then east, west, south, and north are left for the year of the donkey." On [their] behalf he said: "In a single day, the head turns white."
