Simplified Meaning:

Leading by example, using your good qualities, is like how the North Star guides travelers. The North Star stays in one spot while other stars move around it, serving as a steady guide. Imagine a good teacher who is always fair, kind, and hardworking. The students look up to this teacher and want to follow their example. This teacher doesn’t have to be strict or forceful; their own behavior inspires others to act the same way. If you act with integrity and goodness, those around you will naturally be drawn to follow your lead. This shows that true leadership comes from being admirable and consistent in your actions.
