The next sentence is: if you don't advance, you will retreat. From "Augmented Xianwen", the original text: Learning is like sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat; Like a plain horse, it's easy to let go but difficult to collect. Learning is like sailing against the current. If you don't advance, you will retreat. The heart is like a horse running on the plain. If you don't know how to get in and out freely, just let it go, it will soon disappear.

This sentence uses two concrete events: "sailing against the current" and "walking on the plain" to compare "learning" and "mind", which make the difficulty of learning and the easy indulgence of the mind abstract and concrete, and the metaphor is appropriate and philosophical.
