9.62

又云。心為慮本慮不可寄之他分。若在於口眼耳鼻。斯論然也。若在於他心則不然矣。耳鼻雖共此體。不可以相雜。以其所司不同器。器用各異也。他心雖在彼形而可得相涉。以其神理均妙識慮齊功也。故書稱。啟爾心沃朕心。詩云。他人有心。予忖度之。齊桓師管仲之謀。漢祖用張良之策。是皆本之於我形。寄之於他分。何云張甲之情不可託王乙之軀。李丙之性勿得寄趙丁之體乎。

It also says that the heart is the root of deliberation and deliberation cannot be lodged in other parts. If you refer to the mouth, eyes, ears, and nose, this argument holds. But if you refer to another person's mind, it is not so. Although ears and nose share this same body, they cannot be mixed together, because the organs they govern are not the same, and the functions of these organs are each different. Another's mind, although in that corporeal form, can interact [with mine], because their spiritual principles are equally subtle and their consciousness and deliberation are of equal efficacy. Therefore the Book of Documents states: 'Open your heart and moisten my heart.' The Book of Songs says: 'Another person has a mind; I measure it.' Duke Huan of Qi took the strategies of Guan Zhong as his model; the Founding Emperor of Han employed Zhang Liang's plans. These are all cases of taking what is rooted in my corporeal form and lodging it in another's part. Why say that Zhang A's feelings cannot be entrusted to Wang B's body, and Li C's nature cannot be lodged in Zhao D's corporeal form?
