一孔录The video for this chapter is still in production. For now this page gives the original text, the facsimile page, a working translation and the commentary; the full reading follows when the video is out.
聖人無常心，以百姓心為心。善者吾善之，不善者吾亦善之，德善。信者吾信之，不信者吾亦信之，德信。聖人在天下歙歙，為天下渾其心，聖人皆孩之。The sage has no fixed mind of his own; he takes the people's minds as his mind. Those who are good, I treat as good; those who are not good, I also treat as good; and so goodness is attained. Those who are trustworthy, I trust; those who are not trustworthy, I also trust; and so trust is attained. The sage in the world is cautious and withdrawn, and for the world's sake he muddles his mind. The people all fix their eyes and ears on him, and the sage treats them all as children.
白Plain Chinese
圣人没有固定不变的心，以百姓的心为心。善良的人，我善待他；不善良的人，我也善待他，这样就得到了善。守信的人，我信任他；不守信的人，我也信任他，这样就得到了信。圣人在天下，收敛自己的心意，为天下人浑化他们的心，圣人像对待孩子一样对待他们。
