Baizhang was requested by Yunyan, “Grasp, you’re employed on particulars all day. Who’re you doing it for?” Baizhang stated, “There could also be somebody who requires it.” Yunyan stated, “Why don’t you let that particular person care for it?”
Baizhang stated, “As a result of that particular person could not have the means of creating a livelihood.”
Pupil: “Why doesn’t the particular person have the means of creating a livelihood?”
Grasp: “As a result of all folks care for him.”
Pupil: “What occurs if we don’t care for him?”
Grasp: “He by no means cares.”
Commentary:
When a servant doesn’t serve his grasp properly, the consequence will ultimately come again to hang-out the servant.
