The sage has no invariable mind of his own; he makes the mind of the people his mind.
To those who are good to me, I am good; and to those who are not good to me, I am also good; and thus all get to be good.
To those who are sincere with me, I am sincere; and to those who are not sincere with me, I am also sincere; and thus all get to be sincere.
The sage has in the world an appearance of indecision, and keeps his mind in a state of indifference to all. The people all keep their eyes and ears directed to him, and he deals with them all as his children.
