The Scripture of the Founding Master

Chapter Eleven: Maxims

28

The Founding Master said, “An authentic person’s mind is free from pretense, so everything he or she does proves genuine. A sage’s mind is free from mutual harm, so everything he or she does proves virtuous. Therefore, an authentic person’s mind is always upright and thus free from perversity; a sage’s mind is always serene and thus free from distress.”
