Tao Translation In Modern Words--#49

Lao Tzu's advice was easy to understand
and easy to follow.
But few understood him
or did what he suggested.

His words stemmed from ancient wisdom,
and his actions were highly disciplined.
People didn't get that,
which is why they didn't understand him.

And the less they understood him,
the more meaningful his advice became.
That's why the Masters live simply,
hiding their wisdom deep within themselves.
