In antiquity, the world was poorly governed. Wars, injustices and sufferings took place. It was then that I asked Master Cheng if we were in the right direction or if it was preferable to follow the most famous ritual singers, dancers and lute players who sang only the songs that pleased the emperor.
The teacher said, If we go to the Source when everything is dragged downstream, it is a crime against ourselves.
If we followed the current when it would be necessary to return to the source, it would be a crime against humanity.
Then the Master covered his head with a canvas sack and did not speak for many days.
