Lunyu III. 26. (66)

The disregard of what is essential vitiates all services.
The Master said, "High station filled without indulgent generosity; ceremonies performed without reverence; mourning conducted without sorrow;– wherewith should I contemplate such ways?"

Legge III.26.

The Master said, 'What can I find worthy of note in a man who is lacking in tolerance when in high position, in reverence when per- forming the rites and in sorrow when in mourning?'

Lau [3:26]

Le Maître dit : « Comment souffrirais-je le spectacle d'un homme qui exerce une haute autorité avec un cœur étroit, qui s'acquitte d'une cérémonie sans respect, ou qui, à la mort de son père ou de sa mère, est sans douleur ? »

Couvreur III.26.

26. Nabi bersabda, "Seorang berkedudukan tinggi yang tidak dapat berlapang hati ; menjalankan upacara tiada rasa hormat ; dan di dalam hal kematian tiada rasa sedih ; bagaimana Aku tahan melihatnya ?"
