Chapter 346: Gaining and Losing is a Great Blessing
"Sit and forget, don't worry about me?"
Gu Dan's eyes were slightly puzzled.
These eight words, is it possible that there is any mystery?
"That's right."
Zhuang Sheng nodded particularly firmly and said, "Sit and forget the way, don't worry." ”
"Please explain."
With these words alone, it is really difficult for Gu Dan to understand the mystery.
However, looking at the excitement on Zhuang Sheng's face, he couldn't fake it at all, he must have discovered something to make him so excited.
"The way to sit and forget, forget things and me, no worries. The physical limbs seemed to cease to exist, and even their thoughts were almost gone, and they felt that they were integrated with all things in heaven and earth, regardless of each other.
Fallen limbs, degraded intelligence, detached from the form to know, the same as the avenue, this is called sitting and forgetting. ”
Zhuang Sheng stroked his palms and said excitedly.
"It sounds like some kind of practice."
Gu Dan's insight is also extraordinarily broad, and he can already perceive some of the context when he hears it.
"Not bad, not bad!"
Zhuang Sheng nodded again and again, and said: "If you forget things and me, and if you are one with heaven and man, you can be impartial, conform to nature and not be biased." Heaven and earth are born together with me, and all things are one with me, which is not the most true and pure, and the most affectionate and sexual beings cannot peep into it, but it is the supreme road that points to the ultimate. ”
"I see."
Gu Dan nodded lightly at first, and then said with some confusion: "What does this method have to do with what happened to me?" ”
"Such a wonderful method is originally preserved between heaven and earth. All things live in it without noticing, but there will always be people who are destined to touch the true meaning of it by chance.
The sudden change in Brother Kong's body before may be the time when the soul breaks through, and he is fortunate to realize the wonder of 'sitting and forgetting'.
It is precisely because of this that after Brother Confucius broke away from that detached state, he was unwilling to shout, as if he had lost his way. ”
Zhuang Sheng explained seriously.
One thing to say, according to Zhuang Sheng, his previous special sense of immersion really has some similarities with the realm of 'sitting and forgetting', and it can even be said to be extremely fitting.
"So, what is it to be careless?"
Gu Dan didn't dwell too much on this, and then asked the second half of the sentence.
The excitement on Zhuang Sheng's face gradually faded, and he said a little heavily: "Giving up without worry is the sequelae of sitting and forgetting." ”
"Oh? How does it come from? ”
I don't understand.
"Once a person has realized the realm of 'sitting and forgetting', it will be difficult to endure the shackles of the mortal womb of the flesh, and they will not be able to endure the shackles of nature, and they will often pursue the realm of sitting and forgetting at all costs, but the more so, the more they will fall into it, and it will be difficult to extricate themselves.
Even if you are fortunate enough to enter the realm of sitting and forgetting again, you will often get carried away, refuse to get out, and finally give up yourself and return to heaven and earth. ”
Zhuang Shengman explained seriously.
There is no room for sloppiness in seeking the truth.
There is nothing better in this world than facing the avenue directly.
Once you have seen the Great Dao with your own eyes, everything in the world is like a passing cloud, which is not worth mentioning.
The realm of sitting and forgetting is a supreme and wonderful method, with which you can peek into the operation of heaven and earth.
However, people have desires.
If you forget it every day and get its way, you can't wait to sit and forget it every day and become the way.
As a result, the group of seekers who have forgotten to the point of madness will give up themselves just to immerse themselves in the realm of oblivion.
The person who gives up worry-free is precisely himself.
The supreme realm of sitting and forgetting is clearly forgetting things and me, and being in harmony with heaven and earth.
But once you truly become in heaven and earth, there is nothing and no self, and for the monk, it is a fall.
It is incomparably wonderful to be mixed with the Great Dao, but completely losing oneself and merging with the world is no different from death.
How to grasp the middle degree without getting lost in it is the most difficult thing.
Whether it is a way to sit and forget, or to become a way because of sitting and forgetting, no one dares to guarantee.
This is an extremely dangerous way to practice, no matter how beautiful it is.
"Sounds really the same thing!"
Gu Dan recalled everything he had experienced, which was exactly in line with what Zhuang Sheng said, and there was no trace of deviation.
Whether it's what happens when the sixth lotus leaf is unfurled.
Or when he first observed Ji Lao's impact on the congenital, he didn't passively enter the realm of 'sitting and forgetting', and he really felt that he had understood everything, and he knew everything about the world, and countless feelings about the avenue permeated his heart, which was true and beautiful.
The whole person's mind was completely immersed in it, unable to extricate himself, unable to give birth to the slightest resistance, and even less perceiving the slightest danger.
If it weren't for Ji Lao's exclamation, he was afraid that he would really want to turn away.
It can't be said to be exactly the same as the restlessness of the realm of forgetfulness, it can only be said to be the same!
It turns out that that state is called sitting and forgetting.
It's just obvious that the sitting and forgetting of Gu Dan is the sitting and forgetting of worry-free, forgetting oneself, and melting into the avenue, which is replaced by human words. The self dissipates and returns to heaven and earth.
Facts aside, in a way, this is indeed close to the avenue, but this way is unacceptable.
"However, I have never been exposed to this knowledge, and I didn't even know about this special state before, so why can I sit back and forget?"
After worrying about it, he finally grasped a major vein that was extremely related to the innate realm.
That's not true. The realm of sitting and forgetting, with one mind.
Theoretically, it is possible for everyone to enter a state of oblivion. It's just that most people are entangled in mundane things, their minds are dusty, their own perception is also greatly limited, their hearts are no longer pure, and the idea of seeking the Tao is not strong, so why sit and forget? ”
Zhuang Sheng shook his head lightly and said, "Even so, it is not impossible to sit and forget. Many people were blindfolded by foreign objects during their lifetime, but when they are old, they are completely clean and have no distracting thoughts.
At the time of death, the soul dissipates and before returning to heaven and earth, it is possible to enter the realm of sitting and forgetting.
It's just that at that time, the souls of ordinary people are too weak, and most of them can't perceive such a distant range like Brother Confucius, and even can barely 'perceive' themselves.
In this way, why not sit back and forget the way and leave me without worry? ”
"That's what happened!"
There are many rumors that many elderly people will read their lives very quickly before leaving.
It turned out that it was not a legend, but a realm of oblivion.
It's just that ordinary people's own perception is limited, and they can only observe themselves, and they only have that chance in their lives.
"The realm of sitting and forgetting is of great benefit to oneself and to the realization of heaven and earth. The premise is that you can successfully wake up. ”
Zhuang Sheng said: "Brother Confucius has gained and lost, this is a great luck!" ”
