問：「聲、色、貨、利，恐良知亦不能無。」 先生曰：「固然。但初學用功，卻須掃除蕩滌，勿使留積。則適然來遇，始不為累，自然順而應之。良知只在聲、色、貨、利上用功，能致得良知精精明明、毫髮無蔽；則聲、色、貨、利之交，無非天則流行矣。」

靜中念慮澄澈，見心之真體； 閒中氣象從容，識心之真機； 淡中意趣沖夷，得心之真味。 觀心證道，無如此三者。

The post-office is properly a mercantile project. The government advances the expense of establishing the different offices, and of buying or hiring the necessary horses or carriages, and is repaid, with a large profit, by the duties upon what is carried. It is, perhaps, the only mercantile project which has been successfully managed by, I believe, every sort of government. The capital to be advanced is not very considerable. There is no mystery in the business. The returns are not only certain but immediate.

寢兵之說勝，則險阻不守。兼愛之說勝，則士卒不戰。全生之說勝，則廉恥不立。私議自貴之說勝，則上令不行。羣徒比周之說勝，則賢不肖不分。金玉貨財之說勝，則爵服下流。觀樂玩好之說勝，則姦民在上位。請謁任舉之說勝，則繩墨不正。諂諛飾過之說勝，則巧佞者用。

For many years, we have listed these principles in the front of our annual report, but in this report, on pages 58 to 67, we reproduce the entire Owner's Manual. In this letter, we will occasionally refer to the manual so that we can avoid repeating certain definitions and explanations. For example, if you wish to brush up on "intrinsic value," see pages 64 and 65.
