Chapter 197: Good at employing people
Huang Long said: "This is the last magic weapon I passed on to you, knowing people well, being good at employing people is the supreme justice of the avenue, in the future operation of heaven and earth in all things every brother will encounter the problem of employing people, today I will teach you how to use people."
Bailong said: "Big brother, you have told us a lot of avenues, which are very important for our future life, I want to talk about this today is very far away from us, we are all under the control of the eldest brother, we listen to the eldest brother, what the eldest brother asks us to do, we will do it, there is no complaint, the eldest brother understands this truth, do we still need to know?" ”。
Huang Long smiled slightly and said: "I know that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world, now you are under the control of the eldest brother, but one day you will be independent, have your own piece of the world, have your own subordinates, at that time you not only have to listen to the eldest brother, but more importantly, do your own things according to the laws of heaven, the children of the eagle will always fly in the blue sky, and you can't follow the old lady for a lifetime, and it will be beneficial to you to enroll in school in advance."
Bai Long said: "Big brother, I understand, I must listen carefully to the teachings of the eldest brother, secretly say the requirements of the eldest brother, do everything well, and definitely live up to the expectations of the eldest brother."
Huang Long nodded and continued.
Good deeds have no traces, good words are flawless, good numbers do not need to be planned, good closures have nothing to do with it, and cannot be opened, good knots have no rope covenant and cannot be solved, it is a saint who is always good to save people, so there is no abandonment of people, and there is always good to save things, so there is no abandonment.
Therefore, those who are good are not good teachers; Those who are not good people, the assets of good people, do not value their teachers, do not love their assets, although they are wise and fascinated, it is said to be wonderful.
Bai Long said: "Big brother, your words are too profound, we can't understand it, can you explain it carefully, I can only understand it later."
Huang Long said: "A person who is good at walking will not leave a trace when he walks; A person who is good at talking will not leave any flaws in his speech when he speaks; A person who is good at counting can calculate without chips; He who is good at closing the door cannot be opened by others without a latch; Those who are good at binding cannot be untied by others without knotting. place
A man of the right way is always good at making the best use of his talents, so there will never be a useless person in his eyes.
He is always good at making the best use of things, and there will never be useless things in his eyes.
This is called the wisdom that is hidden within, so the good people can be the teachers of the bad people, and the bad people can be the reference of the good people.
If you don't respect the guidance of good people and don't cherish the role of bad people, even if you think you're extremely smart, you're actually confused. This is a profound and subtle truth.
As long as people are good at teaching without words, good at dealing with inaction, conform to nature, and do not need to spend too much effort, it is possible to achieve very good results. Saints are often able to save people with the Tao and use things with the Tao, so that they can leave nothing out, and this is the real great wisdom. Therefore, in all aspects of life, we must follow the Tao, otherwise we can only fall into great confusion if we only use some small wisdom in front of us.
True good is to go along the way. Therefore, for those who have the Tao, there is nothing to discard in the world, and there is no useless person.
"Five virtues", that is, good deeds, good words, good numbers, good closures, good knots, these five virtues are in line with the avenue, people only reach the realm of the five virtues mentioned above, in order to act freely like the Cook Ding Jie Niu.
Beneficence. People who are good at action will never leave any signs against themselves, and this kind of person is good at covering up their deeds in order to achieve the purpose of their actions.
Kind words. People are often caught by others because they say the wrong thing, and they become a lever for others to criticize themselves. Therefore, a good speaker is not a person who can talk endlessly whenever he speaks, but a person who can get to the point when he speaks without being caught.
Good number. There is a kind of person in this world who is good at mental arithmetic and can calculate the result accurately without the help of any calculation tools. Human beings can silently remember the development and operation of intangible things and various changes, and can find out the ideal way and state suitable for their own survival from various changes. This kind of attitude of tacit understanding and calculation of the world embodies Lao Tzu's philosophy of life to a certain extent.
Good closure. For those who are good at closing, there is no need to use locks and latches. The "closure" we are talking about here does not mean to close oneself without seeking renewal, but a means taken to avoid the cruelty of the same kind.
Good knots. What is a knotted person? It is a person who can bind people firmly without ropes. Lao Tzu is not simply expounding the "good knot" here, but using a metaphorical technique to refer to the ability to control things. How do you gain this control? There is only one way, and that is to act according to the road.
It is a saint who saves people with kindness, so he does not abandon people; Always be good at saving things, so there is no discarded things. It's a raid. "Outcast" refers to a person who has been abandoned because he is useless. "Discarded" refers to something that has been discarded because it has no value. No one abandons anyone, nothing abandons anything, and all the good and bad people in the world, the good things and the bad things, are all useful. This requires that under the illumination and revelation of the wisdom and reason of the saints, the good nature of people and things be revealed.
A "good person" is a person who knows the Great Way and can follow it. "Ungood people" are people who cannot follow the avenue, a good person is a teacher, and an evil person is a resource, all of them are treated kindly, especially for the bad person, do not despise him because of his unkindness, on the one hand, we must exhort him and induce him, that is, Lao Tzu said "save"; On the other hand, it also provides a reference for him to become a good person. Salvation is a rational activity, which fundamentally refers to the exploration and pursuit of the nature of things and to bring them to light. And nature is Tao nature, which is morality. For those who have lost their human nature, to explore and pursue their own nature is to save their own nature.
"Don't value his teacher, don't love his assets, although he is a big fan of wisdom, it is said to be wonderful." "Gui" means to cherish, respect. "Great delusion" means absolute state of confusion and ignorance. If we do not respect the teachings of good people and do not pay attention to the role of bad people in learning from them, we may seem wise but are actually very ignorant.
The value of natural things is similar to that of human beings, and it all depends on human discovery and use. Modern science and technology are constantly revealing the value of natural things. How can people discover the true meaning and value of their existence? The premise here is that human beings can see the meaning of their existence through the eyes of scientists. Once human beings discover the true meaning and value of their existence, they can be liberated from all shameful motives and behaviors, and devote themselves to the activities of the world, enjoying this infinite and wonderful universe to the fullest.
Good deeds go with nature, do not make or give, so things can be obtained, and there is no trace. The nature of good words and things is not analyzed, so it is flawless and can get its door. The number of good numbers is the number of things, and it is not false. Good closure is natural, and there is no setting or application, so there is no need to close the rope and rope, and it cannot be explained. These five are all said not to be made or done, because of the nature of things, not to form things.
People who are good at traveling move with the changes of nature, without creating or exerting influence, so that what is transported can arrive without ruts. People who are good at talking speak according to the nature of things, and do not distinguish and analyze them, so there is no chance of making mistakes. A person who is good at calculation is able to know directly the number of things to be measured, without pretending to be a foreign object. People who are good at locking doors take advantage of the natural form of things and do not set up or install other things, so they will not be untied without latches or ropes. The above five are all about not creating, not exerting influence, using the nature of things themselves, and not restricting the performance of things by their form.
The saint does not set up a name to examine things, and does not create a direction to discard it. Auxiliary to the nature of all things does not begin, so it is said that "no abandonment of people" also. If you are not virtuous, the people will not fight; If it is not expensive and rare, the people will not be thieves; If you don't see what you want, the people's hearts will not be chaotic. If the people's hearts are free from desire and confusion, there will be no abandonment. The teacher is not good at doing good, so it is called the teacher. Capital, take also.
Good people are not good with good. Do not abandon the bad with the good, so the good people are not good, and the good people take it. Although there is wisdom, let it be wise. If it is not because of things, it will be lost in its way, so it is said that "although the wisdom is lost".
The saint does not constrain things by external images and by defining the good and evil of things, and does not advocate enterprising and excellent to suppress the bad ones. Assist all things to develop naturally according to laws and not to create them by their own will, so that there are no useless people in this way. does not advocate capable people and wise men, so that the people do not compete for fame and position; Do not regard rare treasures as valuables, so that the people do not do the bad thing of stealing; Let the people not see what can arouse desire, so that the hearts of the people will not be disturbed and stirred. It always makes the hearts of the people have no desires and no confusion, and no one will be rejected by society for doing evil. Use the good to teach the ungood, so the good can be the teacher of the ungood.
In this way, the effect of harmony and unity can be achieved, and the origin of Tai Chi is a harmonious unity, which is the Great Dao.
