I did the thing, but when I asked myself why I had done it, I could not discover my motive. What you say has touched my heart. But how is it that this heart has to do with the unification of the world?"

I indeed did the thing, but when I turned my thoughts inward, and examined into it, I could not discover my own mind. When you, Master, spoke those words, the movements of compassion began to work in my mind. How is it that this heart has in it what is equal to the royal sway?’

I that did it could not get at my heart when I turned back to seek it. But when the Master put it into words, my heart stirred within me. But why should such a heart fit a man to be king?

It was I who did these things, but when I turned inward in search of motives, I couldn't fathom my own heart. It was you who explained it, and only then did I come to this realization. So how can this heart of mine be that of a true emperor?"

I have been examining my motives and could not discover my genuine principle of action ; but your words, Sir, have put my mind in motion. But pray what is there in this Compassionate disposition that fits me for governing well ?
