The Master said, “Do you disciples imagine that I am being secretive? I hide nothing from you. I take no action, I make no move, without sharing it with you. This is the kind of person that I am.”

The Master said, You young men, do you think I’m hiding something? I’m not hiding anything. I take no actions that are not taken in conjunction with you. That’s Qiu for you.
