How different individuals stop at different stages of progress.
The Master said, "There are some with whom we may study in common, but we shall find them unable to go along with us to principles. Perhaps we may go on with them to principles, but we shall find them unable to get established in those along with us. Or if we may get so established along with them, we shall find them unable to weigh occurring events along with us."

Legge IX.29.

The Master said, 'A man good enough as a partner in one's studies need not be good enough as a partner in the pursuit of the Way; a man good enough as a partner in the pursuit of the Way need not be good enough as a partner in a common stand; a man good enough as a partner in a common stand need not be good enough as a partner in the exercise of moral discretion.'

Lau [9:30]

Le Maître dit : « Il est des personnes avec lesquelles on peut étudier, mais non tendre vers la Voie. Il en est d'autres avec lesquelles on peut tendre vers la Voie, mais non s'y affermir. D'autres encore avec lesquelles on peut s'affermir, mais dont on ne peut partager le jugement. »

Couvreur IX.28.

30. Nabi bersabda, "Yang dapat diajak belajar bersama, belum berarti dapat diajak bersama menempuh Jalan Suci; yang dapat diajak menempuh Jalan Suci, belum berarti dapat diajak bersama berteguh; dan yang dapat diajak berteguh, belum berarti dapat terus bersesuaian paham."
