一六九 限 度
大师欢迎科技的进步，但也深知其局限性。
当一位工业家问他从事什么职业时，他回答说：“我从事的是人类产业。”
“那是什么行业？”工业家问道。
“以你为例，”大师说，“你的努力创造更好的物品；我的则是培养更好的人。”
后来他对弟子们说：“生活的目标是人的开花。如今，人们似乎更关注物品的完美。”
PRECEDENCE
The Master welcomed the advances of technology but was keenly aware of its
limitations.
When an industrialist asked him what his occupation was, he replied, “I’m in the
people industry.”
“And what, pray, would that be?” said the industrialist.
“Take yourself,” said the Master. “Your efforts produce better things; mine better
people.”
To his disciples he later said. “The aim of life is the flowering of persons. Nowadays
people seem concerned mostly with the perfection of things.”
