Hsien Tsin / 14

子曰,由之瑟,奚为于丘之门。门人不敬子路。子曰,由也,升堂矣,未入于室也。

Modern Chinese Guide

孔子说:仲由弹瑟,为什么在我这里弹呢?学生们因此不尊敬子路。孔子便说:仲由的学问已经登上厅堂了,只是还没有进入内室罢了。

James Legge Translation

1. The Master said, "What has the lute of Yu to do in my door?" 2. The other disciples began not to respect Tsze-lu. The Master said, "Yu has ascended to the hall, though he has not yet passed into the inner apartments."
