    易之道

    易之道,存乎其辞,在其德义,而非史巫祝卜之筮。
     
    孔子敬鬼神而远之,颇厌人趋神灵而繁卜筮,以至于亡德行而远智谋,故于《周易》本不以为然。然夫子晚年深好《易》,行坐不离其简册,竟至韦编三绝。门人弟子不解,何以夫子言行前后不一?其实夫子所好者,易之义而已,非卜筮之用,其远鬼神、重德行之教未曾有所变易。于是有以下故事:
     
    夫子老而好《易》,居则在席,行則在橐。子赣曰:“夫子它日教此弟子曰:‘德行亡者,神灵之趋;智谋远者,卜筮之繁。’赐以此为然矣。以此言取之,赐缗夫子之为也。夫子何以老而好之乎?”
     
    夫子曰:“君子言以矩方也。前祥而至者,弗祥而巧也。察其要者,不诡其德。尚书多疏矣,《周易》未失也,且有古之遗言焉。予非安其用也,予乐其辞也。赐,汝何尤于此乎!”
     
    子赣曰:“如是,則君子已重过矣。赐闻诸夫子曰:‘逊正而行义,则人不惑矣。’夫子今不安其用而乐其辞,则是用倚于人也,而可乎?”
     
    子曰:“谬哉,赐!吾告汝:《易》之道,存乎其辞也。其用者,此百姓之道  《易》也。夫《易》,刚者使知惧,柔者使知图,愚人为而不妄,渐人为而去诈。文王仁,不得其志以成其虑。纣乃无道,文王作。讳而避咎,然后《易》始兴也。予乐其知之  , 之自 也。予何  事纣乎!”
     
    子赣曰:“夫子亦信其筮乎?”
     
    子曰:“《易》,我后其祝卜矣,我观其德义耳也。幽赞而达乎数,明数而达乎德,有仁 者而义行之耳。赞而不达于数,則其为之巫;数而不达于德,則其为之史。史巫之筮,向之而未也,好之而非也。后世之士疑丘者,或以《易》乎!吾求其德而已,吾与史巫同途而殊归者也。君子德行焉求福,故祭祀而寡也;仁义焉求吉,故卜筮而希也。祝巫卜筮其后乎!”
