To be strict with others, you must first be strict with yourself; to make yourself upright, you must first make your own heart upright.

Discipline others first: Discipline yourself with etiquette, justice, integrity and shame. You can discipline yourself but not others. Disciplining oneself will lead to few mistakes, restraining others will lead to lack of cooperation, and lack of cooperation is not the way to deal with the world. Therefore, a gentleman blames himself, and a villain blames others. ——"Saving Mind Record"

Explanation: Etiquette, justice, integrity and shame can be used to demand oneself, but cannot be used to demand others. If you are demanding of yourself, you will make fewer mistakes. If you are demanding of others, it will be difficult to get along with others. If it is difficult to get along with others, it is not the way to live in the world. Therefore, a gentleman only strictly demands himself, while a villain demands perfection from others.

This is a wise saying by wise people of all ages in our country to cultivate their body and mind.

Rectify the body first and right the mind: The so-called self-cultivation is to rectify the mind. If the body is angry, it will not be rectified; if there is fear, it will not be rectified; if there is joy, it will not be rectified; If you have worries, you will not be able to correct them. Absent-minded, turning a blind eye but not seeing, hearing but not smelling, eating without knowing its taste. This means that self-cultivation is about correcting one's mind. ——"University"

Interpretation: Self-cultivation is about making one's heart pure. If there is resentment, fear, fun, and worry in the heart, it will not make the heart pure. Having a clear mind, being attentive, not seeing or hearing things that have nothing to do with self-cultivation, and not knowing the taste of food when eating, this is called making one's heart pure.
