Chapter 1: The Holy Realm
Those who have been holding one in ancient times can be called holy!
And for two, derived from three, and then turn ten thousand laws!
Judging whether a person has reached the holy realm or not is judged by this one.
Guiguzi once said: The saint is also in the world, since ancient times, his way is also!
Confucius once said: My way is consistent!
Lao Tzu once said: The saint holds one, for the world!
Since there have been book records, there have been four saints in the land of China who have left their footprints!
Lao Tzu is obsessed with one, and there is no derivation! Explain the way of heaven!
Confucius insisted on one, and evolved first, second! Explain the way of man!
Guiguzi is obsessed with one, and it is derived, closed! Explain the way of the world!
Wang Yangming is obsessed with one, deriving knowledge, and doing! Explain the way to do it!
What is one?
The road is simple, and there is only one rule in human innate cognition! Whoever understands this rule can be called a saint! One law, ten thousand laws, ten thousand laws are easy to learn, one law is difficult to pass!
What is it?
One can be called the golden mean!
One can be called a degree! Everything must be measured, life must be measured, and people who can be clear about this degree and do not do anything excessively can be called the embodiment of the Holy Way! And this degree is the form of the Great Dao in the relationship between human beings! It can also be called 儌, call it a border! Therefore, Lao Tzu said in the Tao Te Ching that there is always desire, in order to observe it! That's it!
One can be called reincarnation.
All things are a reincarnation, human beings are born from heaven and earth, and after completing their lives, they turn into dust and bury deep in the ground, and the dust returns to the earth, and the earth nourishes all things, giving birth to rice for human consumption, giving birth to fruits for human enjoyment, and giving birth to all things to nourish living beings. And the living will die and return to the earth. In this way, the cycle of life and death continues.
What changes is the various experiences of life in reincarnation, the same is the continuous reincarnation, the same is the sun rising in the east and setting in the west, and the same is the temporary birth, old age, sickness and death!
One can be called infinite!
The days are long and the nights are extremely short, which is the beginning of the short nights and long days! Only darkness can bring out the light, and the light is blind at the extreme!
The two extremes of good and evil are nothing but one selfishness! The positive and negative poles cannot be reflected on the ball! You have me, I have you, there is yang in yin, and yin in yang is infinity. The pole is changing, why is it said that Qiu Ji!
The first is the rule of all things.
One can be called balance.
The balance of the various food chains in nature does not allow for any extreme individuals, and even human beings who stand at the top of the food chain have to experience a state of cannibalism! And the act of maintaining the food chain to protect yourself!
All wars arise out of injustice and imbalance. If we all run according to the law of balance, human peace is within reach!
One is a realm, an ineffable realm! There was once such a story in Zhuangzi
Qi Huan Gong was reading in the hall, Lun Bian was cutting (wood) to make wheels under the hall, (Wheel Bian) put down the tools of the vertebral chisel and walked up to the hall, and asked Qi Huan Gong: "Excuse me, what kind of book is the Gong reading?" Huan Gong said, "It is a book that records the words of the sage." Then he asked, "Is the saint still there?" Huan Gong said, "It's dead." Lun Bian said, "Then the books you read are nothing but the dross left by the saints." Huan Gong said: "I read, how can the craftsman who makes the wheel discuss?" If you speak reason, you will be spared, and if you don't have reason, you will be put to death. Lun Bian said: "I can see it from what I have done. If you cut (wood) to make a wheel, (tenon) is too wide and gentle, it will be loose and not firm, and if it is too tight, it will be sluggish and difficult to enter. (I do) not wide or tight, handy, can't say it in my mouth, but there is a degree of proportion. I can't tell my son clearly, and my son can't get from me, so I'm seventy years old and I'm still making wheels (alone). The ancients and what they could not speak of have died, and the books you read are nothing more than the dross left behind by the ancients! ”
The books left by the ancients are just to make it easier and for people to get closer to this one, rather than blindly learning and following the creator of this book! Because the deepest realm can only be enlightened by oneself, and cannot be taught by others! This is an innate obstacle of human beings, language can express knowledge, but not realm!
The wise are not wise, and the wise are not wise. Those who know do not speak, and those who speak do not know that this is the truth
Many people who have received knowledge are not used to enlighten the depths of their brains, not to use the path of holiness, but to the opposite path, trapping themselves in an academic world, approaching the extreme, approaching a dead end and not wanting to come out, this kind of person is the most pathetic!
Therefore, Zhuangzi said: The well frog cannot speak of the sea, and it is bound to the feet. Summer insects can't talk about ice, they can't be tied to the time, and Qushi can't talk about it, and they can't be bound to teaching.
In fact, each of us is bound to our own doctrines, but there are big and small, just like looking at the problem, and looking at it from a certain height.
Although they belong to the same heaven and earth, within the universe, there is a difference between Peng and frogs.
If you don't enter the holy realm, you are all the light of ants, this statement makes sense!
The Holy Realm is like a layer of window paper, he seems to be very close to us, but when he really wants to touch it, it is far away, if he has an epiphany, it will be like a kunyu turning into a peng rising into the sky, not the same day!
The direction of the rules of the avenue is reincarnation, and the 'degree' is the boundary of the avenue, and fairness and balance are the stable factors of the operation of the avenue, so that everything runs according to this rule!
As a scholar, if you want to solve problems, you should not be bound to one doctrine, but should gather the strengths of a hundred schools, open up the path of the holy realm, and go out of your own world. Rather than being bound to a doctrine, in that case, even if one becomes a wise man, he is nothing more than a false saint.
Those who have been holding one in ancient times can go all over the world!
