Chapter 169: So, They Can Only Be Half-Saints (Second Watch)
No human desire?
In a word, everyone fell into deep thought.
Chen Yu looked at everyone and said with a smile: "Without human desire, will the world be a better place?" ”
"Desires, both good and bad. But it cannot be denied that all progress is inseparable from desire. ”
"Because I want to live a better life, I work hard."
"Farmers have to grow crops to fill their stomachs."
"In order for the country to be stronger, it must promote development."
"Even the Immortal Dao, although they claim to be immortal cultivators, why do they cultivate immortals?"
"Are these human desires? What would the world be like without these desires? ”
When the crowd heard this, they were silent.
High in the sky, a few people who were thunderous before, couldn't help but ponder at this moment.
These are naturally human desires.
Without these desires ...
Thinking like this, everyone frowned.
Yes, without these desires, there would be no one on the land, and there would still be people to eat and clothe themselves?
If the country does not develop, will Daqin still have a future?
Thinking about all aspects, they suddenly found that if they really destroyed people's desires, it seemed really bad.
"What is Heavenly Principle? Heavenly principles are human principles. ”
Chen Yu spoke again: "Why did the saint educate the world? The people live and work in peace and contentment, and everyone is like a dragon. ”
"In this process, we must abandon bad desires, harness good desires, and drive the pursuit of a better life."
"Instead of everything being a one-size-fits-all approach and completely emptying desires. This practice is to be afraid of desires and dare not get along with desires. ”
"A saint is not only holy, but also a man! They still eat and sleep, they still get married and have children, but have they ever destroyed human desires? ”
"What they do is not to abandon their desires, but to know them without being bound by them."
Rumble!
The hearts of the people were shocked.
Don't be afraid of desires, but harness them!
Know your desires and not be controlled by them!
For a moment, everyone's eyes widened and their minds rumbled.
What kind of penetrating words are these?
High in the sky, one was silent.
His name is Zhu Ji, and this sentence is exactly what he left behind.
All along, he was proud of this, believing that what he was saying was the right path to the highest state of Confucianism and Taoism, and he quarreled with others.
But now, he was completely shaken.
Yes, when I brought this up in the past, didn't I think that all desires were bad?
But can human beings really be free from desire?
I put forward this sentence back then, wasn't the root cause because I regarded human desire as a poisonous snake and beast?
Zhu Ji shook his head, a little lonely.
"Hey, this son is right, he pointed out the deepest cowardice in my heart."
"No wonder my teachers always said that I had to face my fears to achieve the road."
"I thought that the fear that the teacher was referring to was the fear that could not be extinguished. I see. ”
Everyone was silent and looked at Zhu Ji quietly.
At the same time, they were also looking forward to Chen Yu's comments on several other stone tablets.
On the square, Shen Chen and the others looked at Chen Yu thoughtfully, with some admiration.
"Master Chen, what about the other stone tablets? They all make sense. ”
However, Chen Yu shook his head again.
"It seems reasonable, but it's all one-sided."
"Learn first, think first, and do nothing. Do you think that's right? It's right to learn from the front and want to be ahead, but what can you do if you don't do anything? ”
"In everything, nothing is thought of, it is done."
"Work hard to prosper the country, empty talk misleads the country. Could it be that if we think about it, the immortal gate will be destroyed? Daqin is fine? Isn't that?"
Chen Yu pursed his lips.
Everyone was stunned.
That sounds like that's true.
It seems that it does make sense to prosper the country with hard work, and to mislead the country with empty talk!
High in the sky, a fat old man, holding his stomach and laughing, patted a thin man on the side.
"Hahaha, what this kid said is really interesting, Lao Liu, you have been fighting with me for so long, what else do you have to say now?"
When the thin man heard this, his face turned red.
He is Liu Xun, who is also a demi-saint, and this sentence was also proposed by him.
"Hmph, he, how does he know the subtlety of my words?"
That being said, his confidence is insufficient.
Especially the fact that he is working hard to rejuvenate the country, and the phrase empty talk about misleading the country has had too much impact on him!
"Master Chen, but it's always right to think about it, right?" Wen Undefeated frowned and spoke, still a little unconvinced.
Chen Yu said: "It's natural to think about it more, but let me ask you, what is the purpose of thinking?" ”
"Yes! I thought a lot about it, all in order to guide specific actions. ”
"It's naturally good for farmers to think about how to grow food, but if they don't actually do it in the field after thinking about it, how can they grow things?"
"To be a man and do things, you can't be a giant in thought and a dwarf in action. This is utopianism. ”
"Who brought up this sentence, if I see this person, I must smoke him well."
Chen Yu looked at the stele and pursed his lips with a look of disdain.
After hearing this, Wen Undefeated was completely convinced.
High in the sky, the crowd was silent again.
Chen Yu's words had too much impact on them!
A giant in thought, a dwarf in action.
Rhetoricalism.
How the hell did this kid come up with such subtle words?
Liu Xun's expression was complicated, and after being silent for a long time, he sighed heavily and smiled bitterly.
"It turned out that I had gone wrong too. Yes, what can there be in the end? I'm not like that. ”
The fat old man, named Zhao Yuan, nodded a little proudly when he heard this.
"Hehe, several, it seems that my concept is still correct!"
"Walking is the beginning of all things, doing is gained, and thinking is wrong."
"Presumably, this son must have chosen my inheritance!"
Zhao Yuan was very happy.
Although several people have different ideas and have been arguing, among them, the most fierce conflict is between him and Liu Xun.
It can be said that the ideas of the two are completely opposite.
But all along, neither of the two can subdue the other.
Even now, the argument between the two has never stopped.
Now that Liu Xun's concept has been completely denied, then he is the most correct!
"As for this sentence, the line is the beginning of all things, and the line is gained, and I don't know which Hanhan said it."
Suddenly, Chen Yu's words made the smile on Zhao Yuan's face freeze.
Silly... Hanhan?!
Several people looked at Zhao Yuan with strange expressions, and the corners of their mouths twitched wildly.
Well, looking at his image, it does fit the word.
"How can this be true? How can it be otherwise!! ”
Zhao Yuan was furious.
"Eh, Master Chen, isn't this sentence right?"
Shen Chen was dumbfounded.
Chen Yu said naturally: "Of course this sentence is wrong. ”
"I ask you, what is it to do things without thinking about them? The oxen ploughing the field, the donkey pulling the mill! ”
"If you don't have an idea, can you do it well?"
"If you want to do a good job, you have to think clearly and then do it clearly. This sentence clearly falls into the trap of empiricism. ”
"Don't just walk with your head down, but look up at the road. Otherwise, the direction is wrong, and the more effort you have, the farther away from the goal. ”
Wow...
Zhao Yuan was stunned.
Experimentalism...
Walk with your head down, look up at the road...
A sentence of madness impacted his philosophy.
After a moment, he bent down in a dejected manner.
Chen Yu's words are very right!
Shen Chen and the others also had bright eyes.
Next, Chen Yu refuted all the views on the stele one by one.
"So, they can only be demi-saints."
Chen Yu smiled and spoke.
A few people in the high heavens were so depressed that they almost vomited blood.
This kid, although he is right, but this mouth is really poisonous!
"Master Chen, what do you think should be done?" Shen Chen was very curious.
Chen Yu smiled and said, "I think, just four words." ”
"Unity of knowledge and action!"
