Chapter 368: Talking to Wang Shouren about Mental Studies
However, Xie Shen did not think that Wang Shouren would stay in the Ministry of Industry. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The reason is very simple, his younger brother Wang Shouwen is already the head of the Tuntian Division of the Ministry of Industry. The two brothers are in the same place, which will inevitably cause gossip.
The person in charge of selecting officials in the Ministry of Officials will not be so unreliable, in short, Wang Shouren can basically rule out the possibility of serving in the Ministry of Industry. The rest of the temples are possible.
After all, Wang Shouren is not a madman like Li Zhen, and he still understands what is above the officialdom. This kind of person is the most suitable person to be a Beijing official.
The two chatted for a while, and Wang Shouren insisted on pulling Xie Shen to eat and drink.
Xie Shentui had no choice but to agree.
The two went to the most popular restaurant in the fang, Agarwood Building, and asked for a private room, and after sitting down, they ordered a set of banquets and chatted while drinking.
Talking about the time he has traveled over the years, Wang Shouren sighed.
"Brother Fool has traveled all over the world over the years, and he has seen a lot of things. Zhu Zi said that he was very good, and the foolish brother believed it. But when the foolish brother was tired of living in Yuyao, he didn't find anything when he looked at the bamboo every day, and even the people he took with him lost a lot of weight. Until one day the foolish brother suddenly realized. Everything is born from the heart, and if there is nothing in the heart, everything is dust. ”
Xie Shen was drinking to himself, and almost choked when he heard this.
Did he hear it right, Wang Shouren just started to enlighten at the age of twenty-eight this year?
Enlightenment really depends on talent, and the key is to have insights. Where can people realize the Tao.
Zhu Zi is a generation of everyone, but not all of what he said is right.
If Wang Shouren had always firmly believed in Zhu Zi's theory, I am afraid that there would be no later Yangming Xinxue with the Gewu method.
In other words, it was the negation of Zhuzi's theory that led to the formation of Wang Shouren's theory of mind.
It's just that this happened a little too quickly.
Xie Shen nodded and said, "Brother Bo'an is right, Zhu Zi's words cannot be fully believed. ”
After speaking, he pointed to the orchid in the vase in the corner of the table and said:
"When you don't look at this flower, this flower and your heart will die together, and when you come to see this flower, the color of this flower will be understood for a while."
Xie Shen was still a little apprehensive at this time, after all, he used Wang Shouren's famous words. Although Wang Shouren hadn't said this at this time, this feeling was still strange.
Wang Shouren was shocked when he heard this.
He silently recited something in his mouth, and waved his fist like an epiphany for a long time: "I would like to cultivate what you said is good. Flowers bloom and fall, all in the heart. ”
Xie Shen nodded and said, "Everything is because of the heart. If the mind is as still as water, then all things will be silent. ”
Anyway, Xie Shen is also a fan of Wang Shouren, and some basic theories of mind can still be used.
"I heard that when the Bo'an Brotherhood tried to fall down, he once said with a smile, 'Everyone in the world is ashamed of falling down, and I am ashamed of falling down'. The same is true for this reason. ”
Wang Shouren was obviously very excited, clenched his fists and said, "It's better to cultivate that you understand me." When Brother Fool said this, everyone present laughed at Brother Fool for comforting himself. The foolish brother could not explain it to them, so let them go. ”
Xie Shen said lightly: "Brother Bo'an's intentions are something that ordinary people can understand. They don't understand Brother Bo'an, as long as Brother Bo'an understands himself. ”
This sentence translated into a famous saying in later generations is to go your own way and let others say it.
Although it sounds a bit pretentious, it is still very suitable in this situation.
Of course, Xie Shen wouldn't say it in such simple words, this is too unstylish.
Xie Shen took a sip of wine and said: "In the "University", it is said that 'knowing and then deciding', Zhu Zi thinks that everything has a theorem, I don't know if Brother Bo'an thinks it's?" ”
Wang Shouren was obviously a little hesitant. He questioned Zhu Zi's method of Gewu, but did not give a systematic explanation. The reason is that he has not yet understood the core meaning.
Xie Shen said loudly: "Seeking the best in everything is outside of righteousness. Perfection is the essence of the heart, but it is clear that virtue is to the essence and one place. However, they have not departed from things. ”
Hearing this, Wang Shouren's eyes flashed with a gleam, and he said as if he had an epiphany: "What does it mean to be cautious and not to rely on external things, but to be in the heart?" ”
The feeling of coolness in Xie Shen's heart was indescribable.
In front of him is Wang Yangming, the founder of psychology. It is really a great blessing to discuss the study of mind with Wang Shouren.
"Not bad. In the "Book of Filial Piety, Shuren Chapter" says, "Use the way of heaven to divide the benefits of the land, and use it sparingly to support your parents." It is both the way of heaven and the principle of heaven. The heart is pure and reasonable. ”
Wang Shouren realized: "Taking adoptive parents as the principle of heaven, but the world knows it but does not do it, then the reason of heaven is not extreme." Is this because the mind is not pure? ”
Xie Shen nodded and said: ""University" refers to a true knowledge and deeds to look at people, saying 'such as lustful', 'like a foul smell'. Seeing lust is knowledge, and lust is good. I saw that I was already good when I was lustful, not that I made up my mind to be good after seeing it. Smelling the stench is known, and the stench is the line. When you only smell the stench, you are already evil, not that after smelling it, don't set up a heart to be evil. If a person with a stuffy nose sees a foul smell in front of him, but he does not smell it in his nose, he is not very evil. It's just that I don't know the smell. For example, if someone knows filial piety and someone knows his brother, it must be that he has already practiced filial piety. can be called his filial piety and brother. If you don't know how to say something about your filial brother, you can be called a filial brother. and if you know the pain, you must have already hurt yourself, and then you will know the pain. If you know the cold, you must have been cold. If you know that you are hungry, you will be hungry. How can knowledge and action be separated? This is the ontology of knowledge and action, and there has never been a selfish separation. ”
The unity of knowledge and action is the core of Wang Yangming's psychology, and Xie Shen has a deep understanding.
Sure enough, Wang Shouren trembled his hands, his lips opened and closed, and he breathed a long sigh of relief like an enlightened old man.
"What you say is like an initiation."
Belch......
Xie Shen only felt that he had a bit of an axe. Fortunately, Wang Shouren's theory of mind has not yet taken shape at this time, so it can be regarded as giving him some inspiration.
The two of them talked about "what is the best" and "dedication to knowledge", and they were extremely happy.
Xie Shen believes that today's answer can make Wang Shouren's theory of mind more than ten years earlier......
In fact, Xie Shen could have written the entire "Biography", but that would be too uninteresting. Even now, many of his conversations with Wang Shouren will probably be included in the Biography.
After returning home from the restaurant, Xie Shen drank a cup of sobering tea and went to the main house Qianqian to tease his son.
Xie Shen's son is more than a year old this year, and he is very lively.
As soon as Xie Shen entered the house, the little guy shouted, "Daddy, hug." ”
Xie Shen directly picked up his son and lifted it high, so frightened that Qianqian hurriedly said, "Be careful, don't fall." ”
