   Not the way I read it.  I read it to be highly esoteric, with very subtle   
   differentiations that force the gross to one set of conclusions and lead   
   the more subtle to a different set of conclusions.  The mundane reader will   
   see it as written for rulers and would-be rulers.  Seeing the other ground,   
   there is nothing to see because everything is background, and its   
   usefulness to the genuine seeker of the truth about Reality becomes   
   visible.

   The sage is no more nor less limited than anyone else; the difference is   
   that he knows it and takes it seriously.
