It is not that\nthose manes have not that spiritual energy, but it will not be\nemployed to hurt men. It is not that it could not hurt men, but\nneither does the ruling sage hurt them.\n\nWhen these two do not injuriously affect each other, their good\ninfluences converge in the virtue (of the Tao).",
