恐失(공실)은 착함을 잃을까 두려워함이다.
Gong-sil(恐失,공실) means fearing that one might lose one′s goodness.
착함을 발견하여 알기를 보배와 같이 하고,
악함을 발견하여 알기를 도적과 같이하여 항상 보물을 도적에게 잃을까 두려워한다.
It is to cherish discovering goodness as if finding a treasure,
and to treat discovering evil as encountering a their―thus always fearing
that the thief might steal the treasure.
보물을 품어 스스로를 보전하며 한마음으로 도적을 억눌러 조용하게 하여
보물이 있는 방에 가까이 가지 않게 하면 가히 그 福(복)을 받을 수 있게 된다.
If one holds the treasure close to protect oneself,
suppresses the thief with a single mind to keep things calm,
and prevents the thief from drawing near the room where the treasure is kept,
one becomes worthy of receiving blessings.
