Chapter 398: Excess and Deficiency
Lingbao Taoist said that "the way of heaven is more than what is damaged and makes up for the deficiency", and uses the example of grass being eaten and flourishing, horse-drawn carts and long-lasting, and cattle and sheep being eaten and surviving, explaining why monks have enemies and why the development of the Mo family is ready to collapse at any time.
It is because if the Heavenly Dao wants something to develop, it will inevitably not let it be smooth sailing. If it goes well, it means that Heavenly Dao is going to kill it. The existence of a thing, the development of a thing, and the cultivation of a monk, once there is more than enough, it will be damaged by the Heavenly Dao.
In the population of Lingbao Dao, there are times when there is more than weak grass, and there are times when there are more than cattle, sheep and horses, and there is a surplus and a deficiency are relative. It's not that the weak are insufficient, the strong are more than enough, the way of heaven is not arranged like this, the weak are also more than enough, and the strong are also insufficient.
Before listening to the explanation of Lingbao Daoist, Yun Yao never thought that he had reached the point where the Heavenly Dao was more than enough to make up for the deficiency, and never thought that the surplus of the weak could also make up for the deficiency of the strong, for example, if the cattle and sheep were eaten by the lion, it was to use the surplus of cattle and sheep to make up for the lack of the lion. Of course, the same kind of the weak can also survive for a long time through the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao, and will not let the weak destroy themselves because they have more than enough.
is worthy of being a saint disciple, let Yun Yao Mao pause, she understood why the cultivator should be restrained, and she also knew why the Lingbao Daoist persuaded her to find an enemy, all to avoid her own surplus. Only by constantly harming oneself will the Heavenly Dao allow the monk to exist.
The weak have shortcomings, and there are also surpluses. There are more than enough of the strong, and there are also shortcomings.
You can't feel that you only have enough and no more just because Yun Yao is only in the valley opening period, and there is no surplus, and the way of heaven is not arranged like this. At this time, if there is a bad guy who constantly oppresses the weak and kills the weak, then it will damage the weakness of the weak, supplement the strength of the weak, and let the weak gain the courage to resist, and then defeat the strong.
For the strong, his shortcomings are that he does not know failure, does not know how to consider the feelings of others, and is defeated by the weak, which makes up for the shortcomings of the strong.
The truth that the way of heaven is more than enough to make up for the deficiency, Yun Yao suddenly understood. The surplus of the weak can make up for the deficiency of the strong, and the surplus of the strong can also make up for the deficiency of the weak.
The weak are more weak and the stronger are not enough, and the strong are more than strong and not enough to fail. The strong use their strength to turn the weakness of the weak into strong, and the weak to the strong to the strong, both the strong and the weak are properly arranged by the Heavenly Dao.
This explains one more thing, that is, why the Heavenly Dao created human beings to make the human race so many disasters and difficulties. The human race has more than enough suffering, and the happiness is insufficient, and the immortal mana is more than enough merit.
The mana of the immortals turns the suffering of the human race into happiness, and the happiness of the human race gives the merit of the immortals.
The arrangement of the Heavenly Dao is unfathomable, but Yun Yao knows one thing, that is, there must be more than something on his body, and if there are too many such things, they will be killed by the Heavenly Dao, so they must be damaged to be healthier.
The problem is that many people can see their own shortcomings, but they can't see their own excess. It's as if the Terrans can't do without air, but they always forget that they are breathing all the time, because they are used to it and are ignored.
In addition to following the arrangement of the Heavenly Dao, there is more than enough damage through external forces. The common practice of monks is to restrain themselves, to slow down the rate of increase in excess and to slowly replenish the deficit, so that everything is within their control. Or, like Lingbao Daoren, through the enemy's reminder, find an enemy of equal strength to remind yourself of the excess and insufficiency, which is also a safer measure.
Monks are acting on behalf of the Heavenly Dao, and since the Heavenly Dao is going to damage more than enough, then they will damage themselves, lest the Heavenly Dao attack too ruthlessly.
"I see, I get it all." Yun Yao bowed down to the Lingbao Daoist and thanked the Lingbao Daoist for her guidance.
Sure enough, it feels great to be instructed, and this bow is sincere.
Lingbao Daoist also accepted it calmly.
However, the giant looked confused, he felt that the two ink masters in front of him were too powerful, and they definitely didn't just understand the Mo family's ideas. Yun Yao knows Confucianism well, while Mo Wei advocates Taoism like a few treasures, they are both learning from others' strengths, not limited and non-attacking.
Yun Yao and Mo Wei's reasoning, the giant man understood it. Yun Yao's proposition is that the Mohists should practice, not verbally compete with other ideas, and verbal contention is only worse than bad and has no merit. Then it is to use technology to restrain the monarchy, replacing the God in Shang Tong's thoughts.
What Mo Wei means is that the Mo family must calmly accept the future that they may dissipate, and even if it will be overthrown, they must firmly persevere, because life inevitably includes death, and death happens to be an important part of the development of the Mo family, and you can't stop doing it because you are afraid.
The truth is understood, in fact, it is all about practice, but how to start with it?
Looking at Yun Yao, who was dancing with his eyebrows, and Mo Wei, who was calm and honest, the giant raised a new question: "Yun Yao, you said that technology is a sword and can be used to replace the heavens, so do you mean that you want our Mo family to build weapons?" "Juzi is thinking about what kind of technology can replace the heavens.
Yun Yao used the sword as a metaphor for technology, so the giant asked if it was just to make weapons, to create weapons that could overthrow the monarchy, but not to overthrow the monarchy. can be overturned but not overturned, this is also the way of heaven to make up for the deficiency.
"It's not just weapons, it's also about building bridges and roads, developing farm tools, building boats and cars, cultivating seeds, curing diseases and saving people, taming new livestock, developing new trading models, and even the Mo family's idea of loving and non-attacking is also a technology." Yun Yao said that there are too many aspects of technology, and it is by no means just weapons.
The giant is dizzy.
"Giant, in fact, governing the country is nothing more than the two ways I talked about before, consciousness and capital. Ideological propositions can improve everyone's consciousness, and technical ability can increase the country's capital. When the consciousness is high, everyone will work harder when they make money, and when they have more money, they will be happier when they are conscious. "The Mo family has technology and thought, and I think there is no problem in co-governing with the monarch."
After listening to Yun Yao's words, Juzi nodded very approvingly: "We only need to transform our thoughts into consciousness and technology into capital." So how to turn technology into capital? Is it business? ”
The Moshi did not have land, so if they wanted to convert, they had to do business.
Yun Yao thought that all the peasants could be transformed into ink masters through technology, and directly control the grain, and then the monarch could only ask the Mo family.
"It's necessary to do business, but to cultivate seeds and transform farm tools, you have to combine with farmers. At the same time, we should also accept scholars from Confucianism and Taoism, work together to improve our thinking, and work towards a goal. In short, we just want to make the Mo family have more friends and fewer enemies, so that the world can be stable for a while. "If the Mo family wants to be self-conscious, that is, they will hurt themselves, so they don't need enemies.
The giant sighed: "All friends in the world?!" Great, I listened to the Confucian family before, and I was worried that the Mo family was not the opponent of Confucianism, but now I heard you say that the world is a friend, which is enough to compete with the world. He bowed to Yun Yao and said, "I want to give you the position of the giant, and you will lead the development of the Mo family instead of me." ”
Yun Yao hurriedly said: "Isn't the giant looking down on me, you don't covet power, am I greedy?" Whoever sits in the position of the giant is the same, and everyone who is important works together. ”
The giant was full of shame, he shouldn't use the position of the giant to defile Yun Yao's high integrity, he was really stupid, and said apologetically: "You're right, whoever does it the same as the giant son, the important thing is to go on firmly." ”
