reason
The Tao is reasonable, and it has its own laws. The word Tao is on the top and the legs and feet are down, and the thought and practice are integrated.
Fantasy, speculation, or essentialism, and singing high-pitched are not Taos. Bow your head and pull the cart without looking at the road, and it is not the road.
Every path has a direction, and you need to use your brain to discern it.
"Crossing the river by feeling the stones" is not the last word, it is a helpless measure under special circumstances, and it is a pragmatic method that is used only when you have not counted in your heart.
We Chinese love to use walking as a metaphor for life.
"It is difficult to walk" is that it is not easy for people to live.
"Breaking 10,000 books, traveling 10,000 miles", it is not enough to study more, but to experience the world and experience more. There is also the boastful saying: "I have crossed more bridges than you have walked." "The bridge is the fracture zone of the road, the accident-prone area, the troublesome and important place of life, and the wise man only shows his superiority when he passes through this road condition.
There used to be to the emperor
"Mingjun" and
The judgment of the "faint monarch", Ming Jun is not clear about everything, but he has an accurate grasp of the major events involving the lifeline of the country, and he can grasp it firmly and clearly.
There are many faint kings in history, and they understand it in ordinary days, but they are confused every time there is a big event. Life is humble, it is not as good as grass mustard, grass mustard has roots, it can be prosperous again when it withers, and it will be lush year after year.
Man has no roots, and when he dies, he dies. If you don't want to do it all at once, do more. To do things is to take root for oneself, to do great things, is a deeper root, deep roots, branches and leaves naturally flourish.
Those big names who are famous in history have rooted themselves in the hearts of the world. Sanctimoniousness is a superficial phenomenon.
The Tao is natural, the avenue is invisible, and it refers to the complexity and immeasurability of the Tao. But the Tao is not illusory, the Tao is the Tao of the world, and the foundation of the Tao is common sense, which is the knowledge and insight filtered out of ordinary life.
Confucius gave public lectures to students by the waterside many times, and when he saw the realistic scene, he made a big fuss and unfolded his vicissitudes of life.
There are two typical occasions, one in a rough river
The boatman who "like a god" is once to see swimmers in the whirlpool of the rapids. Confucius used
"Light water" and
"Forget the water" reviews the boatman,
"Light water" is to understand the water and master the character of the water to be a boatman;
"Forgetting water" is to mingle with the water and melt into the water like a fish. When a boat capsizes, the person who falls into the water may panic, but the fish in the cabin have the pleasure of being in the water.
Confucius asked the skilled swimmer questions and guided the swimmers along the lines of the questions. The swimmer said: I grew up near the water, I was close to the mountains, I was draught in the water, and slowly, the water was my life.
Confucius came to the conclusion that those who achieve business are those who have found their own destiny. There is a human heart in the world.
Confucius's self-evaluation is: "I am less and cheaper, so I can do many things." "This is not a deliberate low profile, it is the common words of the old monk.
