澄曰：「好色、好利、好名等心，固是私欲。如閒思雜慮，如何亦謂之私欲？」 先生曰：「畢竟從好色、好利、好名等根上起，自尋其根便見。如汝心中決知是無有做劫盜的思慮，何也？以汝元無是心也。汝若於貨、色、名、利等心，一切皆如不做劫盜之心一般，都消滅了，光光只是心之本體，看有甚閒思慮？此便是『寂然不動』，便是『未發之中』，便是『廓然大公』。自然『感而遂通』，自然『發而中節』，自然『物來順應』。」

By the money price of goods, it is to be observed, I understand always the quantity of pure gold or silver for which they are sold, without any regard to the denomination of the coin. Six shillings and eight pence, for example, in the time of Edward I., I consider as the same money price with a pound sterling in the present times, because it contained, as nearly as we can judge, the same quantity of pure silver.

問：「『逝者如斯』，是說自家心性活潑潑地否？」 先生曰：「然。須要時時用致良知的功夫，方才活潑潑地，方才與他川水一般；若須臾間斷，便與天地不相似。此是學問極至處，聖人也只如此。」
