三教平心論 2.27

2.27

伊川曰昔之惑人也。乘其愚暗。今之惑人也。因其高明。抑不思。智者觀於未形。愚者暗於成事。既曰高明。而復謂其受惑。可乎。

Yichuan said: "In the past, those who deluded people took advantage of their ignorance and darkness. Nowadays, those who delude people capitalize on their lofty intelligence." But does he not consider: The wise observe before things have taken shape, whereas the foolish are blind even to accomplished facts. Having already called them "lofty and intelligent," to claim again that they succumb to delusion—can that be right?
