Easy to Understand

"My words are very easy to understand And very easy to practice. Still, no one in the world Can understand or practice them. My words have an origin. My deeds have a sovereign. Truly, because people do not understand this, They do not understand me. That so few understand me is why I am treasured. Therefore, the sage wears coarse clothes, concealing jade."
