Chapter 27, Part 6B - Chuang Tzu

Lao Tzu said, "High and mighty, proud and haughty - who could stand to live with you! The greatest purity looks like shame, abundant virtue seems to be insufficient."

When Yang Tzu-chu first arrived at the inn, the people in the inn came out to greet him. The innkeeper stood ready with a mat, his wife with towel and comb, while the other guests moved politely off their mats and those who had been warming themselves at the stove stepped aside. But when Yang returned from his interview with Lao Tzu, the people at the inn tried to push him right off his own mat.
