Ordinary men hate solitude. But the Master makes use of it, embracing his aloneness, realizing he is one with the whole universe.
Tao te Ching
32 The universal Tao has no name. Although It appears in the plainest and may seem small, It is inferior to nothing. If the kings and marquises can abide by the Great Tao, All beings shall act as guests and submit to them. Heaven and earth will then be in harmony and shall descend sweet dew. People will not require command and orders, Yet can treat each other equally with peace. When Tao is manifested, names were given for the purpose of distinction. But one must know how to attain the original pureness in order to avoid danger and disaster. Tao exists in the universe like the rivers and streams that lead to the ocean.
