My words are easy to understand
And my actions are easy to perform
Yet no other can understand or perform them. My words have meaning; my actions have reason;
Yet these cannot be known and I cannot be known. We are each unique, and therefore valuable;
Though the sage wears coarse clothes, his heart is jade.
