"Favor and disgrace are likely to cause fear. Highly respect great trouble as one respects his own body. What is meant by "favor and disgrace are likely to cause fear"?* Favor is for the inferior: Obtaining it, one will fear it. Losing it, one will fear it. This means that "favor and disgrace are likely to cause fear." What is meant by "highly respecting great trouble as one respects his own body"?** "I have great trouble because I have a body;*3* When I no longer have a body*4*, how can I have trouble?" Therefore, one who respects himself for the world can be lodged with it;*5* One who loves himself for the world can be entrusted with it.*6*"
