Chapter 40: The Water Chapter
Like the 'Sea Tiger' Bai * Jun * Lang, the 'Killer Whale' Oga and Bai Qi himself, they are unrestrained and arrogant; or domineering and awe-inspiring, and virtuous for his own use; Or dangerous people who are treacherous, ruthless, and even can have no scruples for their own ambitions and desires, and cause trouble in the world, why can people like them cultivate into an invincible force that shocks the world and is unparalleled?
Could it be that as the saying goes, "kill people and set fire to the gold belt, build bridges and pave roads without corpses", God is really a blind interstellar player, so that he can make a soul like Uncle Bai Qi Bai to take advantage of the loophole?
In fact, the reason is very simple - the stronger the unrivaled the strength, the more it needs to be stronger and unwavering, and the unwavering will of the heart can be controlled.
However, whether a person's will and heart are strong or not has nothing to do with the righteousness, evil, good and evil of the person's behavior and position, and it has nothing to do with whether the person is enough to be 'pure in heart and have few desires' and 'have no desires and no desires'.
Whether a person's will is strong or not depends only on whether the person can continue from the beginning to the end, no matter what the situation encounters - whether it is suddenly winning the lottery of five million, or suddenly discovering that his newborn son Xiao Ding Ding has grown on his head...... No matter what, they can consistently implement their own ideas, unswervingly pursue their own path, and never be shaken or troubled by any foreign affairs.
Money rights, beautiful women, beautiful women, good wine and food...... And so on and so forth, the splendid ointment in the dust, the beautiful and luxurious things of the white uncle, that is a non-falling order, and even indulge in enjoyment, there are no taboos.
However, whether it is Uncle Bai himself, or other truly strong people with a strong will like steel, they will never let themselves truly indulge in the enjoyment and pleasure of these red worlds, let alone be controlled and dominated by these material pleasures, and they will not be able to extricate themselves from it.
When it is time to enjoy, those who come do not refuse, but when these illusory foreign pleasures and red dust love networks will hinder the implementation of the path of pursuing their own ideas, characters such as Bai Qi can also abandon them without hesitation, and there will definitely be no nostalgia at all.
He even went one step further and deliberately stepped into this red dust, using these entanglements of grievances, love and hatred, money and power, etc., as a whetstone, to sharpen and refine his own heart and willโin short, these strong-willed people are all ruthless guys with hearts like stones......
Indulge in fun and laughter when it's time to play; When it's time to do the right thing, take it seriously and do it conscientiously. What should be done when you should do it, this sentence is simple to say, and the meaning is easy to understand, but how many people in this world can really achieve the unity of knowledge and action, and do what they should do?
There may be very few people who can really do this, otherwise where do the so-called "diseases" such as 'procrastination' and 'lazy cancer' come from?
What is the biggest difference between a weak-willed person and a strong-willed person?
is also in the predicament of all kinds of troubles and sufferings, and the weak-willed people will inevitably be unable to bear all kinds of pessimism and despair, and be decadent; However, strong-willed people will actively cheer up, work hard, and do their best to overcome difficulties and break through.
Are those who are weak-willed really not able to prioritize things, the main and the secondary? Don't they really know, don't they understand that pessimism and despair, and being decentful and decadent are completely useless, and there is no use for dicks?
Obviously, the answer is no, and the weak-willed people must know in their hearts that these pessimistic and desperate negative emotions are not only useless at all, but can even be said to have all kinds of harm and no benefit, but they cannot be controlled by the influence of these negative emotions.
When a strong-willed person is in a difficult predicament, it is not that he will not have pessimistic and desperate negative emotions in his heart.
However, strong-willed people are able to do what is beneficial to the situation, what should be done, without being controlled by these images of pessimism, despair and negativity.
It is easy to say that you should do what you should do, but what the Taoist Buddhas and sages did is nothing more than that.
Too forgetful, too forgetful, when you should do something, you will 'forget' what you shouldn't do, the best of which is on this one 'forget' word, forgetfulness rather than ruthlessness, and it is not comparable to the flow of ruthless abandonment of love.
With the continuous improvement of his own cultivation realm, Bai Qi's vision and insight have also risen with the tide, and a Dao heart has been polished to be pure and flawless, crystal clear, and the intersection is even more pure and mellow when he first entered the 'reincarnation space'.
From Bai Qi's current perspective, those ascetics who abide by all kinds of rules and precepts all day long, are extremely strict with themselves, and dare not cross the thunder pond for the entanglement of love and cause and effect, such as snakes and scorpions, although there is something to be admired in their will, Dao heart, but there is inevitably some overcorrection and overkill, which is far from the true harmony and endless meaning.
A person has never tried to linger in love in his life, how can he know the pain of love? I have never experienced the entanglement of cause and effect, how can we talk about the difficulty of understanding cause and effect?
You can only talk about putting it down if you can afford it, you haven't picked it up, how can you talk about letting it go, how can you talk about detachment?
As the saying goes, the extremes of things must be reversed, and the rigidity is easy to break.
Those who are extremely strict with themselves, trembling on weekdays, such ascetics walking on thin ice, one by one seems to stand on the wall, no desire is rigid, in fact, it is too rigid and easy to break, the principle of the edges and corners in the heart is too strong, and there is no workaround of harmony and tenderness, it is extremely easy to embark on the road of paranoia and extreme, once the enemy encounters such as Uncle Bai Bai who is well versed in all kinds of confusing and illusory gods, and is extremely good at taking advantage of the gap to manipulate people's hearts and provoke the mind of the obscene flow of spiritual masters, These ascetics who have never even studied the little yellow book may turn black and degenerate in an instant with a single look in their eyes......
Those famous sects, Buddhism and Taoism are not unaware of the truth, but some things are not known and can be done, as the well-known saying goes-genius is 99% sweat plus 1% inspiration, but that 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than the 99% sweat.
Sometimes a person's talent is really important, important enough to make or break everything.
A person with ordinary athletic talent, no matter how hard he tries to train himself unremittingly, under the normal state of competition (excluding special circumstances that stimulate physical potential such as being chased by a tiger and dying quickly), it is basically difficult to break through the time of the 100-meter sprint for eleven seconds, let alone enter ten seconds or even nine seconds.
However, there are some talented guys who don't need to train hard and hard, and they can run within ten seconds with their eyes closed.
It's not that those senior executives of famous families don't understand the disadvantages and shortcomings of blindly abiding by the penance method of strict adherence to the rules and precepts, but there is no other way, so what can be done?
Those ordinary disciples are not qualified enough, what can you do, we are also desperate, right? If you really don't care about it, let them go down the mountain to enter the world experience, to understand what bullshit people are sophisticated, love and hate, these children may sink into the sea of red dust, and it didn't take long for them to shout to go down the mountain and return to the vulgar, marry a wife and have children, and since then the wife and children have been hot on the kang head, and they have been happy for a lifetime, and they are talking about the inheritance of the Taoist Guangmen lintel.
For example, Jigong, the living Buddha who is listed as the fiftieth ancestor of Zen Buddhism and the sixth ancestor of the Yang Qi sect, once said: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart; If the world learns from me, they will enter the devil's way. โ
From this, it is enough to see in the verses that such as the so-called 'wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha stays in his heart', this kind of illusion that can break through all kinds of illusions, and directly point to the true nature of the Tao heart, which is not something that anyone can do.
If you don't have the transcendent qualifications like the Jigong Living Buddha, but you have to force yourself to learn and emulate the other party's path concept, then it is just a toddler in Handan, and it is not only useless to make others laugh but also useless. Just as the last two sentences of the verse say, 'If the world learns from me, people will enter the devil'.
In this way, it is better to let those disciples who have ordinary qualifications abide by the rules and precepts, practice asceticism gradually every day, honestly participate in the Taoist formula, boil the true qi, step by step, step by step, and move forward step by step.
After all, there are very few amazing talents in this world, and ordinary people with ordinary qualifications are the majority of the world, which is a universal truth that no one can help.
As the saying goes: "The body is a Bodhi tree, the heart is like a mirror, always wipe diligently, don't make dust." โ
Although the method of gradual ascetic cultivation has all its drawbacks and shortcomings, it is even a matter of being gifted with wisdom (?). Uncle Bai Qibai is despised and looked down on in various ways, but in the final analysis, it is also a practical method for cultivating the truth.
After all, not everyone is like Uncle Bai Qibai, who has 129,600 different personalities and can still be alive and about, and the ultimate personality split man who scares people everywhere, so if you don't have this diamond, don't do porcelain work, and down-to-earth and step-by-step cultivation is the king.
