He who is well established (in Tao) cannot be pulled away. He who has a firm grasp (of Tao) cannot be separated from it. Thus from generation to generation his ancestral sacrifice will never be suspended.
When one cultivates virtue in his person, it becomes genuine virtue. When one cultivates virtue in his family, it becomes overflowing virtue. When one cultivates virtue in his community, it becomes lasting virtue. When one cultivates virtue in his country, it becomes abundant virtue. When one cultivates virtue in the world, it becomes universal.
Therefore the person should be viewed as a person. The family should be viewed as a family. The community should be viewed as a community. The country should be viewed as a country. And the world should be viewed as the world.
How do I know this to be the case in the world? Through this.

Yang ditanam oleh ahli Tao tak akan pernah tercabut; apa yang dilindungi oleh lengannya takkan pernah terambil. Anak-anak akan memperpanjang barisan, memberikan korban pada altarnya.
Tao jika dirawat dalam diri sendiri, maka keteguhannya akan menjadi sejati; dan dimana ia memimpin keluarga, kekayaan akan berkembang! Lingkungan dimana ia menetap akan berkembang pesat; dan jika hal ini terlihat diseluruh negara, peruntungan baik akan ditemukan. Terapkan diseluruh kerajaan dan semua orang akan makmur.
Dengan jalan ini efeknya akan terlihat dalam tiap orang, dengan mengamati masalah-masalah berbeda; dalam keluarga; dalam lingkungan; dalam negara; dan dalam kerajaan.
Bagaimana aku tahu bahwa efek ini akan menampung semua dibawah langit? Dengan cara mengamati.
