My words are very easy to know,
and very easy to practise; but
there is no one in the world who is able to know and able to practise
them.
There
is an originating and all-comprehending (principle) in my
words, and an authoritative law for the things (which I enforce).
It
is because they do not know these, that men do not know me.
They who know me are few, and I
am on that account (the more) to be
prized. It is thus that the sage wears (a poor garb of) hair cloth,
while he carries
his (signet of) jade in his bosom.
