田夫野叟 語以黃鷄白酒則欣然喜 問以鼎食則不知 語以縕袍短褐則油然樂 問以袞服則不識 其天全故其欲淡 此是人生第一個境界 (後 101)
An old man in the countryside is usually happy when he talks about folk drinks with simple snacks, but doesn't know about gourmet cuisine. He likes to talk about tough jeans and outerwear, but doesn't know much about silk. Because of his nature not decorated, his desire is simple. That might be the highest level of life. (Book2 101)
It is harder to reduce than to fill, but even more difficult to be satisfied.
