"My words are very easy to understand, And very easy to practice. Yet the world cannot understand, And cannot practice. My words have their point, My deeds have their grounds. But just because they are ignorant They cannot understand me. Those who understand me are few, Those who follow my rules are rare. That is why the sage wears coarse linen and holds his jade next to his skin."
