How about "Please don't depart from the simplicity you've learned by heart"? It is now clear, isn't it?

The grammar is fine, but I still don't understand how we can 'learn' simplicity.

Then how could that be taught or learned? We are born with it and then either mature out of it or retain it.

How about the following sentence, "Don't depart from the childlike simplicity that has been impressed upon you ever since." Is it fine?

Please don't give up on me. How can say in a sentence that one should not lose the simplicity of character he has? Is it okay for me to say, "Don't depart from the simplicity of character you have"?
