The ego concept is the root cause of all delusion and therefore, all trouble. It is the false identifying of I with a body rather than with the Self.

小我的概念是所有妄想的根源，因此也是所有麻烦的根源。是对“我是这个身体而非真我”的错误认同。

See to it that no one misses the grace of God and that no bitter root grows up to cause trouble and defile many.

又应该谨慎，免得有人疏忽天主的恩宠，免得有苦根子长出来，而累及你们，使许多人因此蒙受玷污。

By acting now, we hope to strike at the root cause of the trouble.

现在行动，我们希望能根除麻烦的原因。
