제1장.上經(상경) 21訓(훈) 157事(사).
제1 강령 성(誠).....정성.....第1事(제1사)
제3체 不忘(불망).....항상 잊지 않음......第22事
제19용 自任(자임)......자연히 부여 받음......第23事
Item 19 : Ja - im(自任,자임) ... Naturally Bestowed... Item 23.
● Ja - im(自任,자임) dose not originate from any external place.
Rather, it stems from the Sincerity(誠 성, Seong) that one is naturally
endowed with from birth.
● Being able to reach it within oneself without seeking it elsewhere is just like spring
and autumn alternating, and the sun and the moon crossing oaths.
[Original Text]
■ 自任者는 不由他而專其自然之誠이니 (자임자는 불유타이전기자연지성이니)
Ja - im dose not come from others,
but is solely the sincerity of one′s own nature.
■ 不求而自至하야 如春秋之代序하며 日月之相替라.(불구이자지하야 여춘추지대서하며 일월지상체라.)
It arrives on its own without seeking,
just as spring and autumn succeed each other and the sun and the moon replace one another.
[Commentary(풀이)]
Sincerity(Seong) manifests from God(一神 일신, II - sin/ the One Divine Spirit),
Who exists at the very center of a human being from birth.
Herein lies the essence that becomes the center of all creation in the universe(우주 삼라만상).
