Selection from the Book of Kuan Tzu, Part 1 of 2

Guan Zhong was spiritual practitioner. If he wasn’t, he couldn’t have preserved his integrity in the filthy political circle. How do we know of his integrity? We do because he was a good manager, a good administrator of the country. He was a remarkable man. No one could sacrifice everything like he did, except enlightened practitioners or those with noble ideals. He even sacrificed his own reputation. Maybe he kept close observation of other people.
