道德经聚会主题（7）- 为学者日益，圣人常无心

聚会日期：2013年1月29日，12点

探讨内容：

The knowledge of not knowing

The cosmic consciousness

帛本：

为学者日益，闻道者日损。损之又损，以至于无为，无为而无不为。将欲取天下也，恒无事！及其有事也，又不足以取天下。

圣人恒无心，以百姓之心为心。善者善之，不善者亦善之，得善也。信者信之，不信者亦信之，德信也。圣人之在天下，歙歙焉，为天下浑心。百姓皆属耳目焉，圣人皆孩之。

参照其他本（通行本48, 49章）：

为学日益，为道日损。损之又损，以至于无为。无为而无不为。取天下常以无事，及其有事，不足以取天下。

圣人常无心，以百姓之心为心。善者，吾善之；不善者，吾亦善之，德善。信者，吾信之；不信者，吾亦信之，德信。圣人在天下，歙歙焉为天下浑其心，百姓皆注其耳目，圣人皆孩之。
