Usimheshimu mtu mwerevu, ili watu wasipingane; usipandue bei ya vitu vigumu kupata, ili watu wasiibe; usionyeshe kitu kinachotamanika, ili mioyo ya watu isipotee. Kwa hiyo, uongozi wa mtu mpendwa hufanya: huteketeza moyo wa watu, lakini hujaza matumbo yao; huwaweka akili zao dhaifu, lakini huimarisha mifupa yao. Huendelea kuwafanya watu wasije kuwa na ujinga na hamu, ili wale wenye akili wasijaribu kufanya mambo yoyote. Fanya kitu ambacho hakina kufanya, na hakuna ambacho hakitaelekezwa vizuri.
Tafakari ya Kina
Sura hii inahusu nini?
Sura hii inaonyesha jinsi ya kuongoza kwa njia ya amani. Usipotukuza utajiri na umaarufu, watu hawataendelea kwa kiburi. Kiongozi mwema hujidhibiti na kujizuia, na kwa kufanya hivyo, anaweza kupumzika moyoni, huku akipata utulivu wa ndani na umakini wa kiroho.
Inavyonigusa mimi vipi?
Mimi kwa siku nimekuwa naendelea kwa kushindana na wengine. Lakini sasa ninaelewa kwamba nidhamu ya ndani ni muhimu zaidi kuliko utashani wa nje. Kwa kujizuia, ninapata uhuru wa kweli.
Nifanye nini leo?
Leo, nitajizuia kidogo. Nikiona ninachotaka kujisifu au kuonyesha, nitanyamaza. Nitarudi nyuma na kujifunza kusikiliza, na kwa hiyo kujijengea utulivu wa ndani.
Not to value and employ men of superior ability is the way to keep the people from rivalry among themselves; not to prize articles which are difficult to procure is the way to keep them from becoming thieves; not to show them what is likely to excite their desires is the way to keep their minds from disorder. Therefore the sage, in the exercise of his government, empties their minds, fills their bellies, weakens their wills, and strengthens their bones.
