We suggest you turn to the Tao Teh Ching:
70 My words are easy to understand And easy to practice. Yet nobody understands them or practices them. My words have an origin; My actions have a principle. It is only because of your not understanding this That you do not understand me. Since there are few who understand me I am valued. Therefore the sage wears coarse clothes. Yet hides a jewel in his bosom. -- tr. C. Muller
