"My words are very easily understood, and very easily put into practice. Yet no one in the world is able to understand and to practice them.* My words have their root; my deeds have their lord.** Just because the people do not know, they do not know me.*3* Those who know me are few. Those who emulate me are rare.*4* Therefore, the Sage wears coarse clothes on the outside, And bears precious jade near his breast.*5*"
