"Bringing proper order to a great state is like cooking a small fish. When way-making (dad) is used in overseeing the world, The ghosts of the departed will not have spiritual potency. In fact, it is not that the ghosts will not have spiritual potency, But rather that they will not use this potency to harm people. Not only will the ghosts not use their potency to harm people, But the sages will not harm people either. It is because the ghosts and sages do no harm That their powers (de) combine to promote order in the world."
