The meaning of this sentence is:
Sages rule the world by teaching without words. After long-term practice, I found it useless to tell the truth. Instead, I relaxed my mind and changed my words and deeds.
The reason why we don't need to care about people who pretend to sleep is because all these changes are to cultivate our own virtue, change our own destiny, and then change the fate of our family. Of course, the most important thing is that children will have a healthy soul and will not have the opportunity to suffer the pain of hollow people.
And those souls who are indifferent and selfish and unable to resist the erosion of desire live in the pain of blaming others and being born at an untimely time every day. If we are lucky enough to wake up, please be kind to them. Because they are doomed to loneliness and misfortune.

When faced with the time of the deceased, unpredictable fate, and sometimes fleeting talents, as long as you realize that you are as small and helpless as a baby when facing them, you can only be satisfied with the present organ enjoyment like a baby.
