Back Forward
Confucianism -> Lunheng -> Daoxu -> 20

May be that Lu Ao studying Dao and trying hard to become an immortal,
travelled to the Northern Sea.
Having left human society, and gone far away,
he felt that he did not succeed in acquiring Dao.
He was ashamed and afraid, lest his fellow-countrymen should criticize him.
Knowing that things would certainly turn out so, that every body would reproach him,
he invented the extravagant stories.
He said that he met with a stranger.
The meaning of the whole story is that his efforts to become immortal were not successful,
and that time had not yet come.
