PART IV TRANSLATION [25 MIN]15

  I stick to the pureness of my pleasure, never escaping from reality. The lotus, though growing in the mud, emerges unsullied from the filth. If, to avoid the dirt, one had planted it on dry ground, it simply would not grow. The same holds true for human beings. Shrinking from what is ugly, vile and evil only proves the frailty of one's character. A person in full possession of mental serenity never stands in fear of being mentally contaminated by the filthy environment. On the contrary, he can exert positive influence all around. Mencius's mother made three removals during his childhood to keep him away from bad influence, which did not pose any problem for her. History does not record any more of such removals after he grew up. Enjoying the tranquility of mind does not mean hiding oneself in a haven. What is meant is the maintenance of such a mental state in the midst of chaos, i.e. moral immovabiliy amidst kaleidoscopic changes.
