No. 9 : Myeongo(免故,면고)... Escaping or avoiding one′s faults/ transgressions... Section 107.
免故(면고)는 평상시에 없는 뜻밖의 생각으로 行(행)하다가 그것이 잘못된 것임을 알고,
잘못됨을 벗어나기 위해 행하던 것을 중지함이다.
Myeongo(免故,면고) refers to a state where a person acts upon an unexpected,
unusual thought that deviates from their ordinary routine,
but upon realizing that it is wrong,
ceases what they were doing in order to break free from that wrongdoing.
사람을 잘못 인도하고 잘못된 것을 권유한다는 것은 계량의 단위를 속여 자신의 잘못된 욕심을 채우려는 것과 같다.
Misguiding others and encouraging them toward the wrong path is akin to tampering
with weights and measures to satisfy one′s own misguided greed.
이는 곧 인간의 성품이 편백하고 국량이 협소한 것이며, 성품이 허망하고 거짓된 것이며 성품이 경망하고 조급하여
스스로 참됨으로 되돌이켜야 함을 알지 못하지만 스스로를 참함에 이르니 크게 용납함이 생기게 된다.
This signifiess that a person′s nature has become biased and their capacity(tolerance) narrow.
Furthermore, it means their nature has become hollow, deceeitful, frivolous, and impatient ;
because of this, they fail to realize on their own that they must restore themselves to truthfulness.
However, when they eventually bring themselves to a state of ultimate truth and sincerity,
a profound sense of great magnanimity(broad acceptance) naturally arises within them.
[Original Text, 원문]
免故者는 免乎故行故止也라 (면고자는 면호고행고지야라)
The one who achieves Myeongo is one who escapes from ppast conduct and stops it.
導誤權錯이면 升斗沒量이니 (도오권착이면 승두몰량이니)
Misguiding others and offering wrong counsel is like destroying the measures of pecks and bushels.
性이 偏小하며 性이 虛誕하며 (성이 편소하며 성이 하탄하며)
Their nature is narrow and small ; their nature is hollow and false.
性이 輕燥하여 不知所反眞而謂之自眞者라도 大容이 生焉이니라.
(성이 경조하여 부지소반진이위지자진자라도 대용이 생언이니라. )
Even if their nature is frivolous and impatient―making them unable to know how to return
to the truth ― if they manage to attain truthfulness by themselves great tolerance and
acceptance will spring forth from there.
[ Coommentary/ Exposition, 풀이]
사람을 잘못 인도하는 것은 죄악이다.
Misguiding people is a sin.
잘못 인도한다는 것을 알고도 잘못 인도하는 것은 죄악 중에서도 엄청나게 큰 죄악이다.
Misguiding others even while fully knowing that it is wrong is an immensely
grave sin among all sins.
