Next comes one whom they love and praise.
Next comes one who they fear.
Next comes one who they despise and defy.
When you are lacking in faith, others will be unfaithful to you.
The sage is self-effacing and scanty of words. When his task is accomplished and things have been completed, all the people say, "We ourselves have achieved it!"
