第七十章


吾言甚易知，甚易行。
天下莫能知，莫能行。
言有宗，事有君。
夫唯无知，是以不我知。
知我者稀，则我者贵。
是以圣人披褐而怀玉。



Chapter 70


My teachings are easy to understand
and easy to put into practice.
Yet your intellect will never grasp them, and if you try to practice them, you'll fail.

My teachings are older than the world.
How can you grasp their meaning?

If you want to know me,
look inside your heart.
