c10.48

He is against complete renouncement of worldly necessities. For he says, “To preserve one’s body one must use raiment and medicine.” But he also strikes a warning, “Indulgence in one’s own desires leads to one’s downfall,” and so he advises the path of the golden mean. Likewise he advises men to perform noble deeds but asks them not to boast of their good deeds.
