禪林寶訓 4.36

4.36

密菴曰。應菴先師嘗言。賢不肖相返不得不擇。賢者持道德仁義以立身。不肖者專勢利詐佞以用事。賢者得志必行其所學。不肖者處位多擅私心。妬賢嫉能嗜慾苟財。靡所不至。是故得賢則叢林興。用不肖則廢。有一于斯必不能安靜（見岳和尚書）。

Mi'an said, "My late teacher Ying'an once said: 'The worthy and the unworthy are opposites; one cannot but choose between them. The worthy uphold the Way, virtue, benevolence, and righteousness to establish themselves; the unworthy specialize in power, profit, deceit, and flattery to handle affairs. When the worthy attain their ambition, they will certainly practice what they have studied; when the unworthy occupy a position, they mostly indulge their selfish hearts, envying the worthy and being jealous of ability, indulging desires and craving wealth, shrinking from nothing. Therefore, when the worthy are obtained, the monastic grove flourishes; when the unworthy are employed, it falls into ruin. If there is one of these present, there certainly cannot be peace and quiet.'" (Seen in the letter to Venerable Yue)
