Chapter 4 Birth

Good is like water. Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is more than the Tao. Dwelling in a good place, a good heart, a good heart, a good word, a good word, a good governance, a good work, and a good time. The husband is indisputable, so there is no especially. While practicing the exercises, Wang Lingxin flashed the sentences he remembered in his previous life, and thought that water is the source of all things, so practicing the way of water is the beginning of the way.

Lao Tzu said: "Good is like water", "Water is good for all things without fighting, and it is evil for everyone, so it is better than the Tao". What we are actually talking about here is the way to be a human being, that is, to be a human being should be like water, water nourishes all things, but never competes with all things, and this kind of character is the closest to the Tao. Although on the whole, Lao Tzu's philosophy of life is negative and inactive, if we remove its negative elements and savor the character of water, we can still discover or derive beneficial truths or principles from it. At this time, because Wang Lingxin's body is still in the mother's body, absorbing all the innate qi, so the cultivation is twice the result with half the effort, and he quickly reached the innate realm, but he wants to advance a lot more slowly, and his mother has also benefited a lot, since his body has excreted a lot of dirty things these days, making the whole family up, it is very strange, fortunately, the home where Wang Lingxin was reincarnated is also the family of Zhongwu, and it can be seen that Wang Lingxin's mother in this life actually spent the acquired realm during pregnancy and achieved the congenital, Everyone who knows is looking at Wang Lingxin's mother in this life with a look at the monster. No matter what he was busy outside, Wang Lingxin was still cultivating in his mother's womb, and when his cultivation slowed down, he began his journey of enlightenment. felt the Tao of Lao Tzu in his previous life, and summed up a lot.

One is clumsy.

Water is the source of all things, and meritorious deeds are worthy of thousands of eulogies and monuments, and the capital to show off is not insignificant. But it has always maintained a normal mentality, not only does not publicize, but "with its light, with its dust", where it flows low, where it gathers, and even the deeper and quieter it is. This kind of tranquility and contemplation is beyond the reach of many people. This is indeed a kind of "inaction", but it is not inaction against the "big self", but inaction on the "small self", and inaction on personal interests.

The two are called together.

The cohesion of water is extremely strong, once it is integrated, it will share honor and disgrace, life and death depend on each other, and move forward in the common direction without hesitation, so Li Bai has the sigh of "drawing the knife to cut off the water and the water is more flowing". Because of its unity, the water is incomparably powerful: it gathers to form the rivers and seas, the vast and the beautiful, sweeping the present and the ancient, and the waves will rise when the wind blows, vigorous and vigorous, turbid and clear.

Three is said to be patient.

The water is soft, but soft and boneless, and the persistent pursuit of faith is awe-inspiring. The Yellow River, how many obstacles, how many temptations, even if the mountains are stacked and turned a thousand times, how can there ever be a trace of wavering in the will to flow east into the sea, and how can the majestic and heroic footsteps ever stop for a moment; the waves hit the reef, even if they are crushed to pieces, they will never flinch, and they will go forward and follow one after another, wave after wave and fight bravely, and finally the reef will be hit with a hundred holes and thousands of holes; the cliff head is dripping, day after day, year after year, setting the goal, not arrogant or impatient, thousands of times. The ground "ticks" and "ticks" are hard to dig a hole in the stubborn stone, which can really be described as "the softest in the world, the hardest in the world".

Fourth, it is said to be broad.

"The sea is inclusive, and tolerance is great". Water is the most loving, the most inclusive, permeable, and affinity, and it is accessible and helps the world, giving without wanting to reciprocate. It raises mountains and mountains, feeds flowers, breeds crops and grows strong, never picks and chooses, dislikes the poor and loves the rich. It reflects the "moonlight on the lotus pond", constructs the beautiful scenery of the cave garden, sails the boat, feeds the green anchovy carp, works hard and complains, and exhausts the effort. It is a part of the land when it is united with the land, and it is a part of life when it is united with life, but it never reveals itself.

Fifth, it is said to be flexible.

The water is not restrained, not rigid, not rigid, not paranoid, sometimes delicate, sometimes rough, sometimes charming, sometimes unrestrained. It changes with the times, dew drops at night, fog in the morning, sunny and auspicious, cloudy clothes, summer for rain, winter for snow, turn into anger, condense into ice. It changes according to the situation, soothing as a stream, singing in a low voice, steep as a waterfall, roaring tiger and dragon, deep as a pool, Taoguang and obscure, vast as the sea, singing and marching forward. It changes due to the instrument, when it meets the circle, it is round, when it is square, it is straight like a carved line, and it can be coiled by the dragon, so it is said that "water is impermanent". Water moves because of the machine, lives because of the movement, and advances because of the living, so it has infinite vitality.

Sixth, it is transparent.

Although there are also muddy water, sewage, turbid water and even stinky water, the dirty and smelly ones are not water, and the water itself is clear and transparent. It is colorless, crystal clear, and it is bright, desireless, and upright. Only when it is transparent can we use water as a mirror to reflect the beauty and ugliness of good and evil. If a person cultivates as transparent as water and his mind is as calm as water, he will be of great goodness.

Seven is fair.

Water does not draw from the rich, not sluggish in the poor, whether it is placed in the porcelain bowl or in the gold bowl, it is treated equally, and the water is not crooked, and the water is not crooked, and the water is not oblique, which is called "level". If you are abducted and deceived by the pit, the water will rush and roar, which is "uneven and roaring". If a person uses water as a ruler, he can cut the length and the height of the ruler. Of course, these are just some of the good qualities of water, and that's not all. However, no matter how many things we can learn from water, the most fundamental thing is that "good is beneficial to all things without fighting", which is the real "supreme goodness". At this time, Wang Lingxin obtained from the cultivation exercises and Lao Tzu's way of water, and water is the real goodness.

It is said that goodness is like water, goodness is the best, and the best way to deal with the world is like water, what is water? Without fighting, fighting is fighting for interests, so water is good for all things without fighting, it is to help others without asking for returns. The way of water has also been like this, benefiting all things, without fighting, this is the true way of water. Wang Lingxin seems to be in the water at this moment, he is water, at this moment he is lying in the amniotic fluid in his mother's womb peacefully, still smiling from time to time, and soon four months have passed, the so-called October fetal is closed, since the time of childbirth. At this time, Wang Lingxin was silent in his understanding, completely unaware of the current situation.

Wang Lingxin was thinking in his heart that it is not enough to be good in the way, so you should not only help others without asking for anything in return, but also maintain a modest and cautious attitude, and don't think that if others have received your favor, you will be arrogant. If you can do this, you will be "more than the Tao". That is, he has obtained a way of life that is close to the Tao. Only in this way can we truly approach the Tao, approach the Tao of water.

Wang Lingxin thought so, but suddenly he jumped, the comfortable environment was gone, he seemed to be sliding, or the kind with his head down, he didn't like it very much, and wanted to scream, but the cry shook the sky. It's really close to the way of water, hehe.
