Chapter 361: Self-Improvement

The roar continued, and after reading one volume of ancient tablets, Xiang Jian began to indulge in the next volume of ancient tablets.

Taishang Dao Ancestor said: "Those who know others are wise, and those who know themselves are clear." The winner is powerful, and the self-winner is strong. ”

It means that those who can understand others are wise, and those who can understand themselves are wise. Those who can overcome others are powerful, and those who can overcome themselves are truly strong.

From childhood to adulthood, people are trying to understand and overcome others, and until now, they know that those little clever and small means are just to make themselves more money or gain a little fame.

Some people say, "Isn't it good to be famous if you have more money?" It's not bad, but it's not good either. The poor are burdened by food and clothing, and the rich are greedy.

Whether you are poor or rich, there will be troubles. The people you envy, the people you want to be, actually have the same troubles that you can't solve.

Although the truth is simple, people just pretend to understand, and then they follow the same path. On the road, I kept thinking about understanding others and overcoming them.

"Self-knowledge", "self-victory", self-knowledge "Ming". What is "enlightenment"? People live in "ignorance," suffer from ignorance, and have to bear the "fire of ignorance."

People's emotions, all kinds of artificiality, come from "ignorance". If we can be "clear", there will be no "ignorance", and there will be no emotions and pains.

The self-winner is "strong". That is, man's greatest opponent is only himself. When people understand themselves, they will see that their words and deeds, even those untouchable thoughts and thoughts, are governed by various desires and habits.

What does it mean to overcome oneself? If you can not be dominated by desires, you will be able to overcome yourself.

Those who drink alcohol are addicted to alcohol, those who gamble are addicted to gambling, those who are good women are fascinated by women, those who are good in power are bound by power, those who are good in name are burdened by fame, and those who are good in profit are ruined......

The world is busy, and they want to make themselves stronger. But the vast majority of people are working in the wrong direction, they think that defeating others is to be strong, in fact, they can defeat others, only the ability to defeat themselves, is really strong!

Once upon a time, there was a poor man who went up the mountain to chop wood and found a lamp. So he wiped it with his own rags. Green smoke rose from the lamp, and an old man with a white beard came out.

The old man said: "I am an immortal, since you have polished the lamp, I can fulfill your wish, even if you open your mouth, the room, money, power, and beauty can be!"

The poor man thought for a while and said, "I still can't be too greedy, I just want to live a life: as long as the money is enough to spend, I am not too busy to do some things, I usually have nothing to worry about, my family is safe, my body is healthy, and my life is dull." ”

Hearing this, Xiansu said, "You want to enjoy pure blessings! This is the life I live now, and I can't give it to you." ”

If he really let this poor man live the life he wants, it is estimated that he will feel that life is too dull........

What's the point of such a life?

The bland wants to be bland, but the bumpy wants to return to the bland.

Whether it is dull or bumpy, it is actually the "heart" that is contrived. The "heart" has only one purpose: to make people never satisfied. It's like when you're thirsty and want to drink water, but you drink salt water, and after drinking it, you feel even thirstier.

This is why every "successful person", even if they become extremely rich, even if they are famous all over the world, they are still busy in Vanity Fair every day. It's not that they don't want to stop, but they can't stop, and their "hearts" are not satisfied!

To be able to surrender the "heart" is to "be strong in self-victory"! To overcome oneself is not to bind oneself and force oneself to do something or not to do something.

To overcome oneself is to let oneself not be bound by anything or desire.

From a spiritual point of view, this is called renunciation. The so-called renunciation is to stop clinging to the things that we were attached to in the past. When a person is no longer attached to a thing or a habit, he loses his ability to command and manipulate himself, and he gains freedom.

In this sense, one has to be free from all things in order to attain total liberation. Of course, renunciation does not mean that one does nothing, but that one does not be bound by those things and habits.

Drinking and greedy for money are just visible habitual constraints. Those who can see it are still relatively easy to "leave".

Those invisible "restraints" often bind people for a lifetime. Letting go is not to avoid it, but to see it or not to see it, and there is no wave in the heart.

So how can you overcome yourself? First, use some small things to exercise your perseverance. Everyone has some small faults, they know it, but they haven't seriously changed it. For example: frequent drinking, frequent sexual pleasure......

There are also plans and goals that I have always wanted to do, but have not adhered to. For example: exercising, going to bed early and waking up early......

People can pick one piece, set a short-term goal, and let themselves work hard to achieve it. If you can't reach it, it's okay, at least it's not worse than before, and if you reach it, it means that you have become a little stronger. Put simply, it's about building perseverance.

People with perseverance have a greater probability of overcoming their desires and habits, and they have a little more time to surrender to their "self-mind".

In addition, you can learn the second method: awareness. Awareness, also known as contemplation, is knowing what you are doing at all times.

For example, knowing that you are angry, knowing that you are walking, knowing that you are in a daze, knowing that you are aware.......

Awareness everybody does, but everybody can't be consistently aware. There is a principle of awareness: just know, not judge.

Don't welcome or send, just see. If one practices repeatedly, one will find that the time of awareness will become longer and longer.

If you can be aware at all times, not only will you know yourself, but you will also be stronger.

The righteous path of the Three Realms is vicissitudes!

The wonder of heaven and earth lies in its ability to turn decay into magic!

There are many immortals in the Three Realms today, and many immortals with a great mission have appeared, don't underestimate everyone, maybe the one who is facing you is which immortal.

Masters don't necessarily live in the mountains, and most of them are cultivators who live in the deep mountains and hide in the world, most of them enter the world to cultivate, silently practice the Tao, and do their best to carry out the destiny of heaven.

They may be inconspicuous in their role, but there is a drive in their souls that drives them to do something, and in their hearts they are unusually determined about what they do.

They may be in high positions and important positions, but they will do their best to develop the entire Three Realms and this world in a better direction, and dedicate their abilities and talents.

Maybe these immortals are like an unknown walker and passer-by at all, but they will use their own unique ways to benefit the common people and benefit the heavens......

Their existence may be famous, they may be quiet, they may be quiet, they may be aggressive, their missions are different, but they vary from person to person.

They live and survive in the human world, which is not only cultivation, but also practicing the Tao.

Experience yourself in life and work, further improve your wisdom and morality, and silently complete your mission.

Some of them are clear about their mission, some are just doing it without knowing why, some are doing their best, some are doubting their choices, some have awakened early, and some are ignorant.

The entry of the immortals into the world is not perfect, once they enter the womb, there will be a "mystery" process, and the immortals who generally have a great mission usually know what they should do very quickly.

They tend to be smarter, sharper, and more focused than ordinary immortals, so they are more proficient in certain skills, and are usually able to grasp various knowledge more quickly in order to serve their mission.

Generally, immortals who have a mission to incarnate into the world, in the process of growing up, will have various corresponding points, hints and protections from the invisible, so that they can clarify their mission as soon as possible and complete their tasks.

Today's Three Realms is a very special point in time and space, all kinds of masters and wizards gather together, and the immortals and saints are coming from all directions, more than before, but real people do not show their faces, and they are not real people.

The earth is a holy place for self-cultivation, mind cultivation, and enlightenment. Heaven and earth are one heart, and the world has its unique role, carrying the pulse point of the heavenly cycle, and this pulse point is very important.

Therefore, everything that has happened in the Three Realms, or everything that will happen, has long been made clear in the heavens and the earth.

Only high-level immortal saints can understand this, like ordinary worldly beings, heaven and earth creatures, they do not have the ability to understand these things, and the level is limited. It can be said that if you are not careful on the road, you may encounter the reincarnation of a Heavenly Realm Immortal, they may not be outstanding, but what they do is absolutely unimaginable.

Seeing magic in the ordinary is a major feature of the reincarnation of masters in time and space! Because only in this way can these masters with divine light and spiritual veins and immortal energy better integrate into ordinary people, and at the same time can protect themselves from the persecution of demons.

If there is a reincarnation of positive energy, of course, there will be negative energy entering the world.

This is relative, and it is also sharpening the person with the mission, so that he can experience himself, sublimate the level, and be better than before.
