49
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.
