Chapter 13<\/h2>\n

Favors received injure as much as disgrace
\nGreatness weighs down the body.
\nWhat is meant by: \u201cFavors received injures as much as disgrace?\u201d
\nFavors received entails its own reduction
\nThere is anxiety in waiting for it
\nThere is anxiety in losing it.
\nWhat is meant by: \u201cGreatness weighs down the body\u201d?
\nTo have a body [person] means to offer a hold
\nThe body is the principle of heaviness
\nIf you did not have it
\nThere would not be possibilities.
\nTherefore: whoever is detached from greatness
\nCan freely rule the empire
\nWhoever is attached to the body as little as the empire
\nCan be entrusted with the empire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The text of this chapter is somewhat corrupt. Thus there have been divergent translations. Instead of \u201cfavors received\u201d one can also read: fortune, honors received; it refers, then, to depending on the cause of that, with the implicit lowering of its own more intimate dignity, which is \u201cdisgrace\u201d. The ideogram for the body can also be rendered as \u201cperson\u201d; then the possibilities given as terms of comparison for that to which the outer profane greatness shows, there are those inherent to being person, in the limitative sense: by varying this, with which the whole can agree equally by creating minor modifications, preserving the comprehensive interpretation given to the chapter.<\/p>\n

To appoint the person that is ploughed under is the same as to surprise [him],
\nRespecting trusted subordinate is the same as respecting oneself.
\nWhy to appoint the person that is ploughed under is the same as to surprise [him]?
\n Because to appoint is to regard the person as a subordinate,
\n Getting appointed is being surprised, Being disfavored is also being surprised,
\n This is why.
\nWhy respecting trusted subordinate is the same as respecting oneself?
\nThe reason that I have these trusted subordinate is I care about myself.
\n If I do not care about myself, what trusted subordinate do I have?
\nSo, If [you] can change respecting yourself into respecting the world,
\n then the world will be able to be reposed in you;
\n If [you] can change loving yourself into loving the world,
\n then the world will be able to be reposed in you.\n<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
