Chapter Thirteen: On the Order 36
The Founding Master said, “You must all become masters of public-spiritedness! For private households or businesses, whether large or small, it has been customary to bequeath their assets to their children. However, public households or enterprises are only to be bequeathed to those who are impartial, engaged in impartial activities in an impartial spirit. Once you understand this principle and become a great impartial person, all of our facilities, institutions, and reputations will become your own possessions as well as your own concerns. This order is a public entity available to the whole world, which will be managed by those who have superior morality and are full of public spirit. Thus, you must exert yourselves together in becoming masters of public-spiritedness.”
