Even though hidden the qualities of a good person spread through out the world and illumine it.
Even though hidden, the jasmine flower pervades everything with its delightful fragance.
Fame is the cause of joy in this life; for the other world, virtue is best. Mere wealth, devoid of these two, does not make wise people glad.
The virtuous especially proclaim the qualities of good people as the wind broadcasts the rising scent of Malayan sandelwood to the ten directions.
Though some people rage against the great, how could the great respond in anger? Arrogant jackals cry noisely, but the king of the Beasts out of compassion defends them.
People search for flaws in those who are great hearted, not in those who are inferior. People look for cracks in precious gems, but who looks for them in firewood?
One is not pleased by praise, or displeased by blame. Abiding well in one's own good qualities is the halmark of a virtuous one.
In the residence of a greathearted person, how could others be considered wise? When the sun has risen in the sky, galaxies of stars become invisible.
