5.7

'Laozi said: "When the superior person hears of the Way, he diligently practices it. When the middling person hears of the Way, it is as though it exists and as though it does not. When the inferior person hears of the Way, he laughs loudly at it." (The superior person has only wisdom and not folly, and diligently practices the Way. When the middling person hears of the Way, he can go up or down. The inferior person has only folly and not wisdom, and turns around to laugh at the sage's Way. Hence the superior person awakens, the middling person doubts, and the inferior person remains deluded.)
