What is the reason for Ai Taituo not wanting to take charge of a country?

 

 

Confucius says, "I have once been on a mission to Chu and witnessed young pigs sucking the milk of their deceased mother.

 

After a while, they abandon her and run away. They can no longer see themselves in her, as if she belongs to a different kind.

 

Their love is not for her physical body, but for something that animates it.

 

 

 

When a man dies in battle, his sword is not buried with him.

 

When a man has his feet cut off, he doesn't care about his shoes, as their original purpose is lost.

 

The king's concubines don't cut their nails or pierce their ears, and a married man is not sent on missions when he is kept in his own home.

 

The importance placed on preserving the integrity of the body extends even further when it comes to preserving virtue.

 

If the body should be preserved intact, how much more should virtue be preserved intact?

 

 

 

Now, Ai Taituo, even without speaking, is trusted by people.

 

Even without any notable achievements, people gather around him.

 

Those who entrust their own countries to him worry that he may decline, for his talents must be complete and his virtue unblemished.”

 

 

 

The body is the external material,

 

Preserving it intact is valuable.

 

Virtue is the essence within.

 

Preserving it as is reveals its true nature.

 

Ai Taituo awakens to his innate nature and possesses the world.

 

That is why he chooses not to take control of a country.
