Practise reason



The rational man the ten thousand things their asylum,
the good man their treasure,
the not-good man's that which he holds fats to.

Beautiful words one can thereby sell.
Noble deeds one can thereby accomplish more with the people.

A man his not-goodness why thrown away he is?
Therefore was elected heaven's son
were appointed three ministers.

Though having reverently in hand as a screen
thereto riding with four horses,
not equalled by sitting still propounding this reason?

The ancient their reason why they esteemed this reason, that is:
What, indeed?
Is it not say that if sought then it is obtained?
He who has sin thereby can be saved?
Therefore it becomes the world's honor.
