Heaven is long-enduring and earth continues long. The reason why heaven and earth are able to endure and continue thus long is that they do not live of, or for, themselves. Therefore the sage puts his own person last, and yet it is found in the foremost place; he treats his person as if it were foreign to him, and yet that person is preserved. Is it not because he has no personal and private ends, that therefore such ends are realised?

Godaa fi buna jiJiirra. Godaa fi buna abbaa isaanii jiJiiranuufi dhaloota dhalootaaf, dhalootni isaanii hin dabartuu dhan; kanaafuu, dhaloota dhalootaa jira. Kanaafuu, Qorannoo dura sirraa oolan yoo ta'e, yaada durii argatu; hafuun isaa yoo banuuf, baa maatii isaa fidu. Kuni sirna isaa hin qabne dhaafni? Kanaafuu, sirna isaa yaada argachuuf qofa miti.
