Tan Caigen's persuasion

46 after the heart is original, the world is vulgar.

Original: Only when you finish what you think in your heart can you express your heart; You can't be born until you have finished the usual things in the world.

Only when you fully understand your true colors can you say that you understand your mind. Only when we have a thorough understanding of the basic laws of the world can we talk about transcending the secular world.

Interpretation: Only when you really know your own essence can you say that you have a real understanding of yourself. A little girl wants to learn ballet, ride a horse and play the piano. She is also interested in reading and painting. Although she wants to learn a lot, the actual conditions do not allow it. In the end, she can only learn to draw and have enough books to read. These two things occupy most of her time. Later, she went to school, the situation at home became better, and her parents were able to send her to learn what she wanted to learn. She finally had a chance to learn ballet and piano that she longed for for for a long time, and she also learned to ride a horse with others. After studying for some time, she found that she was not really interested in ballet and piano. She always thought that what she liked could not really infect her. Therefore, we can't say that we have a comprehensive understanding of ourselves before we really fully understand our own nature.

What is a person's nature? It is not easy to get the answer at once. Your knowledge and understanding of yourself need to be learned through practice. In the process of studying at school, it is not only to learn knowledge and cultivate good moral quality, but also to discover oneself through continuous learning. When many people talk about whether school education is necessary, they will mention the American Act. Gates dropped out of school to start a business and eventually became the richest man in the world, which made many people question the role of school education. In fact, Gates dropped out of school because he found his interests and life goals worth working for. Many people still need to study at school. A very important reason is that they have not made a clear plan for their lives and have not fully understood themselves. So they need to learn about their true selves through continuous learning. Of course, there are also many people who have studied in school for many years and feel more and more confused, and do not have a clear and comprehensive understanding of themselves. Therefore, they need to take part in the work and hone themselves in society in order to discover their true self. Only when we have a clear understanding of ourselves and a more comprehensive understanding of the world can we talk about transcendence. If you don't have a certain understanding of the world, how can you talk about transcending the secular!

The road to material desire is to relax the worldly shoulders.

Original: Only by blocking the road of material desire can we open the door of morality; Only by relaxing the worldly shoulders can we pick the burden of sages.

Only by blocking material desires can we open the door to truth and morality; Only by letting go of worldly burdens can we provoke the burden of sages.

Commentary: Shortly after Zhou Wang ascended the throne in Shang Dynasty, someone carved an ivory chopstick for him. Minister Ji Zi lamented: "With ivory chopsticks, we will no longer use utensils made of pottery, but use utensils made of rhinoceros horn and jade. With jade cup ivory chopsticks, it is inevitable that you can't eat simple tea and light rice, and you can't eat delicious food. It is inevitable that I don't want to live in a humble house, but I want to live in a tall and wide room. Similarly, I will not wear clothes made of coarse cloth, but will wear gorgeous clothes. In this way, his desire can't be satisfied. He will definitely go far away to collect strange things from various countries. He needs luxury cars and luxury palaces. I am really worried about him! " Sure enough, it wasn't long before Zhou Wang built a resplendent deer platform. Many exotic animals, treasures of dogs and horses were collected, the pool was filled with wine, and the meat hung like a forest. Shang Zhouwang lived a luxurious life, and soon the whole country rose up to resist. Finally, Shang Zhouwang was burned to death in the fire.

In the Five Dynasties, Murong Yanchao of the later Han Dynasty served as our envoy. Murong Yanchao likes to collect money. He once set up a warehouse to store mortgage money. A treacherous man made counterfeit money as collateral. Later, the official in charge found that the money was fake and reported it to Murong Yanchao. Murong Yan taught officials a way to dig up the wall of the warehouse at night, transfer the money inside to other places, and then declare it stolen. Let those who are mortgaged come forward to declare their mortgaged items in order to compensate them. So people came to report the case and the person who mortgaged the fake money was found. Murong Yanchao did not punish this person, but hid this person in a hidden place and asked him to teach others to make fake money. These fake silver are made of iron and covered with a layer of silver skin, which is called "iron tire silver". Later, the soldiers and horses of the later Zhou Dynasty came to attack the city, and Murong Yanchao took out the silver in stock to reward the soldiers. Everyone said it was iron tire silver, not real silver, so they refused to work for Yan Chao. Murong Yanchao committed suicide.

Shang Zhouwang didn't know how to control his desires, but blindly obeyed them, which finally aroused the people's resistance. He lost his life and became a typical tyrant and bad king in the history of China. Although Murong Yanchao is wise, it is a pity that he is not in his place. He only knew how to collect money for himself, and he ended up hurting himself. Therefore, when setting life goals for ourselves, we need to remember that if we want to achieve life goals and finally make a difference, we need to restrain our desires. Only those who are above ordinary people and are not fettered by interests can shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Forty-eight thousand rivers a month, the heart should be alone.

Original: a spoonful of water tastes like four sea waters, so you don't have to taste them all. Thousands of rivers and moons are full moon, and the heart beads should be alone.

A spoonful of water has the taste of four seawater, so you don't need to experience everything in the world. The moon is the shadow of the bright moon in the sky, and our hearts should be as clear as pearls.

Interpretation: Everything in the world has its own form, but there are certain laws in the ever-changing world. If we can grasp the laws that exist in things, then when we know the world, we can have a deeper understanding of the world, and we will not be unable to grasp the clue. The complicated world seems chaotic, but in fact, as long as we grasp the law, we can know everything in many cases. Some truths are universally applicable, and we don't need to experience them one by one. It is neither practical nor possible to experience everything personally. People often say that the four seas are at home. Although the world is big, there are many similarities. Being in different cities, although cities can't be exactly the same, people will always find many similarities between cities. Being in different schools, although there are great differences in software and hardware equipment between schools, there are also many similarities. If you know one thing, you can know other things similar to it.

It's like scientific research. Whenever scientists make a new discovery, they often do some experiments and then systematically demonstrate the reliability of the invention. They will put this new invention into use instead of testing it on all people or things. Scottish scientist Alexander? Fleming is engaged in flu research. He cultivated staphylococci in the laboratory, which is a common bacterium that can cause infectious skin diseases and abscesses. One day, he forgot to cover a culture tray with staphylococcus and went out. When he came back, he found green mold growing on the plate. He observed with a microscope that the green mold destroyed all the staphylococci around him. In other words, turquoise mold can kill staphylococcus. So Fleming discovered penicillin. Fleming's accidental discovery, after the research of medical scientists, was finally used in clinical medicine, which played a very important role in human resistance to diseases.

It is difficult to extinguish feelings and give up desires, but it can calm feelings and desires.

Original: the similarity of feelings is sexual, and giving up feelings is intangible; The public place of desire is rationality, and the reason for giving up desire is not clear. Therefore, a gentleman can't extinguish his feelings, only things are wrong; You can't quench your desires, but you lack them.

It is human nature to coexist with emotions. Without emotion, human nature cannot be displayed. What coexists with desire is righteousness. If you give up desire, then righteousness cannot be understood. Therefore, a gentleman can't eliminate emotions, just let them calm down without being extreme; Can't eliminate desire, can only reduce desire.

Interpretation: Emotion and nature are a pair of contradictions. Without emotion, human nature cannot be displayed. Desire and justice are a pair of contradictions, and many truths are expounded for people's various desires. Without desire, one cannot understand all kinds of justice. People can't completely eliminate their feelings, nor can they completely eliminate their desires. As the saying goes, everyone has secular desires, and people's emotions and desires can be properly controlled but not completely eliminated.

In Andersen's fairy tales, there is a story called Paradise Garden, which tells the story of a prince walking in the forest one day. Suddenly it began to rain, and he found a big cave to shelter from the rain. Here he met an old lady, who is the mother of southeast wind and northwest wind. The old woman asked the prince to keep warm and told him that this was the cave of the wind. When the wind came back, they told their stories. When the prince heard them talking about paradise garden, he was very envious and wanted to go there. I agreed to take the prince with me. The next day, the prince flew in the east wind. They flew over many places, passed a big cold hole, and finally came to a place with particularly beautiful scenery, that is, Paradise Garden. There lived a fairy in the garden, young, beautiful and very gentle. The prince followed the fairy for a walk in the paradise garden. The prince liked this place and asked the fairy if he could live here forever. The fairy replied, "It's up to you. If you can stop doing illegal things and don't be like Adam, you can live here forever. " If your will is not strong enough, you'd better go back with the east wind. /kloc-He won't come again until 0/00 years later. Every night, I will say to you,' Come with me!' I will wave to you, but you can't move. If you follow me, your desire will increase. I live in the hall with the knowledge tree. If you bend down beside me, I will smile at you. If you kiss me, the kingdom of heaven will sink into the ground, you will lose the kingdom of heaven, and sorrow and distress will accompany you. "The prince insisted on staying here, and Dongfeng bid farewell to the prince and left. When the sun went down, the fairy waved to the prince and the prince followed her. He forgot his promise. Looking at the beautiful fairy, the prince couldn't help kissing the fairy, so the kingdom of heaven sank and the prince regretted it. Although you know it's wrong, you can't help making mistakes. This is because people can't completely eliminate their own desires, but they can properly control their emotional desires.

50. Look at your heart and body, and your diet is tasteful.

Original: I can see my heart and body from the pillow of five watches. I can't see my true colors until I am moved and my feelings germinate. It is a practical effort to be familiar with the taste of the world in the three-time diet, to be strong and unhappy, and to take it lightly.

In the morning, when I don't get up, I will think about my inner nature. At this time, impetuous spirits such as distractions and evil thoughts have not yet emerged, and feelings have not yet sprouted, so that we can see our true colors clearly; Familiarize yourself with all kinds of flavors in the world from three meals a day. The taste is fat but not pleasant, and the taste is plain and not disgusting. This is the real kung fu.

Interpretation: dispel the impetuous spirit in your heart and curb your various desires and evil thoughts in order to see your true colors clearly. The taste in the world is like three meals a day. Don't be too happy when it's delicious, and don't dislike it when it's tasteless. Treat the gains and losses in life with a peaceful attitude. Although the taste of wealth is as rich as food, the danger it brings is also enormous. Plain and simple life, although tasteless, is also more stable.

During the Tang Dynasty, Lai Junchen was in power. An official named Hou Min alienated Lai Junchen at the suggestion of his wife. Lai Junchen was very angry when he saw Hou Min alienating him, so he sent Hou Minfa to other places as a county magistrate. Hou Min doesn't want to go, but wants to resign and go home. His wife told him, "Go to your post and don't ask to stay." So Hou Min set off on his way. When he arrived at that place, he sent a famous card to see his boss. The boss flew into a rage when he found that the famous post was wrong, and said, "Even his own famous post is wrong. How can such a person be a county magistrate? " Therefore, Hou Min was not approved to take office. Hou Min is very worried about this matter. His wife said, "Don't worry, relax and live here." After a few days, there was a rebellion where Hou Min planned to be a county magistrate. The rebels killed the old county magistrate and burned and robbed the county magistrate's home. Hou Min saved his life because his boss didn't approve him to take office. Treat life with a normal heart and let nature take its course. Good and bad can be transformed. Seemingly evil, treated with a normal heart, evil becomes a blessing.

5 1 When observing your mind in the still night, you are really pitiful.

In the dead of night, sitting alone and observing my heart, I began to feel sorry and really exposed. Every time I have great interest in this, I feel that the truth is in front of me and I can't escape it, and I feel great regret here.

In the dead of night, a person sits down alone to reflect and observe his heart, only to find that all evil thoughts and distractions have disappeared and his true colors naturally appear. At this time, we can experience the vitality and interest of many lives and understand the truth of life. I feel very ashamed and sorry, because I found that the truth is precious and it is difficult to completely eliminate delusion.

When reading "Dead of Night", you can often find your true colors when you are sitting and reflecting on yourself. Sincerity is like a bright moon in the sky, bright and bright, without a trace of cover. Modesty is like a mirror with dust, and the bright moon is covered by clouds. Wipe off the dust and let the mirror shine again. Drive away the floating clouds and you can see the quiet moonlight and bright moon. Between sincerity and hypocrisy, there is not two hearts, but one heart. Just be careful, when you are shrouded in evil thoughts and distractions, your sincerity will not appear. Get rid of distractions and your sincerity will be revealed. Although delusions cannot be completely eliminated, they can be controlled and reduced. Always reflect on yourself, so that your noise and evil thoughts in your heart can be controlled and reduced.

Lenin got into the habit of thinking about what he did that day before going to bed every night. After repeated thinking, he found that some things were worth doing and some things were not. He also found himself doing something that made him feel ashamed to think about it now. After such introspection, he has a clear understanding of what he wants to do and what he can't do. In this way, I set a goal for my life. We might as well use the time before going to bed to think about what we do during the day is positive and meaningful, and what is worthless and a waste of life. You can also think about what your life pursuit is, listen to your heart and discover your true self.

Reduce customers and extend meaning, eliminate emptiness and show truth.

Arrogance is nothing more than politeness. Surrender politely, and then straighten up; Lust consciousness, all belong to the false heart. Kill yourself for nothing, and then show your mind.

Arrogance and conceit do not come from people's sincerity, but are influenced by bloodline and grandiose manners. Only by eliminating politeness can people's righteousness be continued. All kinds of lust and evil thoughts are illusory and untrue. Only by eliminating the illusory false heart can people's sincerity and kindness be revealed.

Interpreting the human body is like a small universe, a small world of its own. It is righteousness that dominates our bodies, which is aboveboard; What bothers our bodies is politeness, which is illusory and insincere. People are sincere, but when the false heart covers the true heart, the true heart cannot be revealed, so only by eliminating the false heart can we see the true heart. For learning and seeking knowledge, grandiose and insincere manners and illusory ambitions are obstacles. If you want to make progress in your studies, you need to get rid of politeness and arrogance. If you get a little success and start boasting proudly, then you may stand still and find it difficult to achieve great success. As the saying goes, "there are mountains outside the mountains, and there are people outside the people." There is no end to learning, and arrogance is a stumbling block on the road to learning.

There is a story about Li Bai, a great poet in the Tang Dynasty. When he was a child, he didn't like studying and was very playful. One day, Xiao Li Bai ran out of school again, and the scenery outside was beautiful. Xiao Li Bai felt free and had a good time. He wandered around until he came to a river and saw an old lady grinding a thick iron bar by the river. Xiao Li Bai doesn't understand. He doesn't understand why the old lady grinds this iron bar. The old lady told him that she would grind this iron bar into a needle. Little Li Bai was very surprised to hear the old lady say that she would grind the iron bar into a needle. He looked at the iron bar carefully. It was quite thick. He found it really difficult to grind such a thick iron bar into a needle. The old lady seems to see through Xiao Li Bai's mind. She said, "It's really not easy to grind an iron bar into a needle, but I can grind it every day, and one day I can grind this iron bar into an embroidery needle." Xiao Li Bai was moved by the confident words of the old lady. Since then, he has studied much harder than before.
