| Chapter Fifty Four An expert builder does not remove foundations, an expert holder does not strips it off, the descendents carrying on such rituals will never forget the virtues. Cultivate within the body, one's virtues will crystallize and become real; Cultivate within the family, such virtues will become in excess; Cultivate it within the community, such virtues will last for long time, Cultivate within the nation, such virtues will be abundant; Cultivate it within the world, such virtues will be wide-spread. Therefore with one's body as example for viewing, with one's family as example for viewing, with one's community as example for viewing, with one's nation as example for viewing, with the world as example for viewing, how do we know that the world is harmonious? Because of this. (Heng: How divine. If you want to know the health of a company, just approach the small receptionist who is at work. If we want to know how a country is doing, just observe the ordinary citizens who are at work. Sigh sigh sigh... ) |
