阳明之后,后学对良知的阐释异见纷呈,流弊益甚,或是将良知引入虚玄,义理分解到极致,或是任取当下,导良知入情识,两者都将良知导入光景。罗汝芳补偏救弊,以赤子之心为宗,觉悟信从赤子之心的虚灵周遍,不再去空描画良知本体和做执持工夫,以此破除对良知的障蔽和遮掩,顺适此心,直下承当,使良知流行于人伦日用之间,为心学的发展指示出新的方向。

If we are in compliance with the original heart,the block on intuitive knowledge would be broken. He pointed out a new direction for the development of intuitive knowledge,which took effect in everyday life then.
