It was difficult to talk (profitably and reputably) with the people of Hu Xiang,
and a lad of that place having had an interview with the Master,
the disciples doubted.
The Master said,
"I admit people's approach to me
退without committing myself as to what they may do when they have retired.
Why must one be so severe?
If a man purify himself to wait upon me,
I receive him so purified,
。”without guaranteeing his past conduct."
