同样，如果君主推举贤人做官，那么人民就学会了竞争，君主爱惜金银财宝，那么人民就懂得了偷盗。所以要想治理好国家，就应该让人民头脑空，肚子饱，身体强壮，但没有欲望。这叫做“无为而治”，就是什么都不需要做的、顺其自然的治国方法。

By the same token, if a monarch selects wise men to become officials, the people will become competitive; if he covets wealth and treasure, the people will learn to steal. Therefore, in order to properly administer a country, the peoples' minds should be empty, their bellies full, and their bodies strong, but they should have no desires. This is called "governing by doing nothing;" using it, you need not do anything. It's a method of governance that follows the natural course of nature.
