To those who are good she treats as good.To those who aren't good she also treats as good.This is how she attains true goodness. She trusts people who are trustworthy.She also trusts people who aren't trustworthy.This is how she gains true trust. The Master's mind is shut off from the world.Only for the sake of the people does she muddle her mind.They look to her in anticipation.Yet she treats them all as her children. -- Translated by J. H.
