小賢しく立ち回ろうとすれば，やがて確執が生まれる。外面的な見栄えを良くしようと振る舞えば，やがて内面的な本質は失われていく。人はつい，自分が他人より，少しでも得をしようとしたり，少しでも良く見られようとしたりする。人を出し抜こうとせず，内なる本質を尊ぶところに，本当の幸せと豊かさがある。過ぎたる我欲を捨てて，シンプルに生きる。武の技も，過剰や華美を廃したところに本質がある。シンプルさにこそ奥義が宿る。
If you act yourself artfully, then some discord will be created. If you behave yourself to appear externally attractive, then your own internal substance will be destroyed. We human beings unintentionally tend to gain even just a little more and show ourselves even just a little better than others. Trying not to outdo others but to value internal substance will lead to true happiness and fullness. Let go of too much greed for yourself and live your life simply. As for techniques of martial arts, you can find its real substance after letting go of excess and gorgeousness. The secrets dwell just in simplicity.
