The Podcast presents Chapter 70 of the Tao Te Ching, attributed to Lao Tzu, focusing on the simplicity yet elusiveness of the Tao. The core message highlights the difficulty people have in understanding and practicing the Tao due to their preconceived notions. The author contrasts the easily grasped nature of his words with the widespread inability to truly comprehend them. This incomprehension is attributed to the depth and purpose behind the Tao, which remain hidden to most. Finally, the text uses the metaphor of a sage outwardly appearing humble but inwardly possessing great value to illustrate this concept.
