The ruler of Lu said, "The road there is long and perilous. Moreover, there are rivers and mountains between and I have no boat or carriage. What can I do?"Go here to read the introductory post to the chapters of the Book of Chuang Tzu.
The Master from south of the Market said, "Be without imperiousness, be without conventionality - let this be your carriage."
But the ruler of Lu said, "The road is dark and long and there are no people there. Who will be my companion on the way? When I have no rations, when I have nothing to eat, how will I be able to reach my destination?"
