"The Sage constantly has no [set] mind; He takes the mind of the common people as his mind. Those who are good he regards as good; Those who are not good he also regards as good. [In this way] he attains goodness. Those who are trustworthy he trusts; And those who are not trustworthy he also trusts. [In this way] he gets their trust. As for the Sage's presence in the world - he is one with it. And with the world he merges his mind. The common people all fix their eyes and ears on him. And the Sage treats them all as his children."
