道德经 · 第49章

底本文字与中文阅读

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，
百姓皆注其耳目,
聖人皆孩之。

The sage has no invariable mind of his own; he makes the mind
of the people his mind.

To those who are good (to me), I am good; and to those who are not
good (to me), I am also good;--and thus (all) get to be good. To
those who are sincere (with me), I am sincere; and to those who are
not sincere (with me), I am also sincere;--and thus (all) get to be
sincere.

The sage has in the world an appearance of indecision, and keeps
his mind in a state of indifference to all. The people all keep their
eyes and ears directed to him, and he deals with them all as his
children.
