我が智慧の一分の智慧計かりにて萬事をなす故、私と成り天道に背き、悪事となる也。
自分のわずかな知恵だけで万事、事をなそうとするから、
私心となって天の道にそむき悪事をなすことになる。

Because we do most things relying only on our own sagacity we become self-interested, turn our backs on reason, and things do not turn out well. As seen by other people this is sordid, weak, narrow and inefficient. When one is not capable of true intelligence, it is good to consult with someone of good sense. An advisor will fulfill the Way when he makes a decision by selfless and frank intelligence because he is not personally involved.

One man's intelligence is like a tree that has been simply stuck in the ground.
