"... For those who emphasise ritual ...."

… For those who emphasize ritual inspire little trust,

but this is the beginning of disorder.

Diviners make Tao flowery,

and this is the beginning of foolishness.

This is why the superior person deals with the profound

and does not dwell on the superficial

He deals with the solid,

and does not dwell on the flowery.

Therefore he takes that and leaves this.

Lao Tzu
