Renounce
“Master, I do not seek many other disciples here. Why is that so?” asked disciple Wu. “It is so because it is not fashionable to follow the ways of the ancient Tao masters.” the master explained. “In order to be one with the Tao, one must renounce what is fashionable, embrace what is plain, honest and virtuous. This is impossible for the man who submits to his cravings, chases desires, seeks to follow the latest trends, and lives in an unending cycle of suffering.”
