Human should have something to pursue, but cannot indulge into it; so as not to be subject to the pursuit . Maybe it's not very clearly .

第一个“物”为名词的意动用法,意为“以……为物”;第二个“物”为名词,即为通常的“物”的意思。“物物”的意思就是以物为物,这就是说物就是物,没有人为的东西施加于其上,物就是纯然本然的“物”。 第三个“物”是动词,意为“物役”;第四个“物”为名词,同第二个“物”,也是普通的“物”的意思。“物于物”的意思就是被物所物役,这就是说人被物所奴役,成了物的奴隶。对物的追求便会导致被物所役使。 整句释为:利用物而不受制于物,那么怎么可能会受牵累呢! 物物而不物于物:驾驭外物(物欲),而不为外物(物欲)所驱使.
