Loko a hi hoxi matlhelo ya vantima, vanhu va se va tshikane; loko a hi hoxi switho swa tintomba, vanhu va se va amukeli; loko a hi hlangenisi timhaka to tlakusa mpfumulo, mbilu ya vanhu yi se yiendleli. Hi leswi, munhu loyi a angenile u hlayisa hi ndlela yo cinca: a pfula mbilu ya vanhu, u guta timbya ta vanhu, u cinca swikongomelo swa vanhu, u khoma timbilu ta vanhu. U lulamisa vanhu leswaku va se na vuyelo lowu nghenelelaku no sindzisiwa hi switho, leswi swi vanga vanhu lava nkhuva va se va kaneri. Loko hi endla leswi a hi nga endli hi xiboho, a se na xilo xi se yi lulamisiwa.

Xi hambana njani na mina?
E handle ka ku hoxa matlhelo ya vanhu va le henhla, ndzi ehleketa leswaku ndzi nga mi pfula mbilu ya mina hi ku hoxa swikongomelo swa vanhu. Ku va na xivono na switho swa tintomba swi endla leswaku ndzi se na xilongo. Loko ndzi pfula mbilu ya mina ndzi隔 no va na mhaka yo cinca, ndzi nga mi nyamula.
Ndzi fanele ku endla yini namuntlha?
Nhlamuselo ya namuntlha: Xiyani xivono xa ku va u rhwebe ntsena. Ehleketela hinkwaswo lomu u nga ehleketa kona naswona u xiximela loko u tlakusa switho leswi u nga swi taliki. Cinca ndlela yo va u pfula na ku va u hlongoraxa.
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.
