《040》人因看不見自己，所以他們造作種種惡的行為；他們不去看自己的心。當人要做壞事的時候，會先四處窺視，看有沒有看見：「我母親會不會看到？」「我先生會不會看到？」「孩子們會不會看到？」「我太太會不會看到？」如果四下無人注意，他們就立刻行動。這是在羞辱他們自己，他們說沒有人在看，于是就在別人還未發現以前，趕緊將惡行完成。而他們自己呢？他們不就是在看的「人」嗎？

Because people don』t see themselves, they can commit all sorts of bad deeds. They don』t look at their own minds. When people are going to do something bad, they have to look around first to see if anyone is looking: "Will my mother see me?" "Will my husband see me?" "Will my children see me?" "Will my wife see me?" If there』s no one watching, then they go right ahead and do it. This is insulting themselves. They say no one is watching, so they quickly finish their bad deed before anyone will see. And what about themselves? Aren』t they a "somebody" watching?
