What Heaven ordains is called “nature”;following one’s nature is called “the Way”;cultivating the Way is called “teaching”.

What is meant by “cultivating the self depends on rectifying the mind” is this:When the mind is agitated by anger, it cannot be rectified;when dominated by fear, it cannot be rectified;when carried away by desire or pleasure, it cannot be rectified;when burdened by anxiety or worry, it cannot be rectified.
