The sage has no fixed heart of her own;
she adopts the heart of the people.

To those who are good, respond with goodness;
to those who are not good, also respond with goodness.
This is the virtue of goodness.

To those who are trustworthy, offer trust;
to those who are not trustworthy, also offer trust.
This is the virtue of trust.

The sage dwells in the world,
quiet and unassuming.
For the sake of the world,
she blends their hearts into one.
The people focus their eyes and ears on her,
and she cherishes them all as her children.
