《淮南子·原道训》
贪婪多欲的人，被权势迷惑，受名位引诱，希望超常人的智慧跻身于社会上层，那么他的精神每日耗损而偏离应处的位置，长久迷惑而不能返回本位，形体闭塞而内心不开窍，精神就无法进入。
贪饕多欲之人，漠于势利，诱慕于名位，冀以过人之智，植于高世，则精神日以耗而弥远，久淫而不还，形闭中距，则神无由入矣。
The greedy and lustful people are fascinated by the power and tempted by fame and position. They hope to get access to the upper society with the extraordinary wisdom. Then their spirit is consumed and deviated from the proper position every day. Confused for a long time, they cannot return to their original position. The body is closed and the heart is not opened, so the spirit cannot enter.
