More on the Shun's Message of the Mind

I had mentioned Shun's Message of the mind earlier. Here are two versions of it:

de Bary translates it thusly:
"The human mind is precarious: the mind of the Way is subtle.
Be refined and single-minded. Hold fast to the Mean." [de Bary]

Gardner translates it thusly:
"The human mind is precarious. The ontological mind is
almost imperceptible. Be discriminating, be undivided, that
you may sincerely hold fast to the Mean." [Gardner]

You can go to this link to delve deeper into this message.
