Quiet is a kind of maturity, a kind of accomplishment and a kind of harmony. People who move like rabbits are naturally full of vigor and vitality, but they just lack the patience and perseverance of Jing. The mover is good at action, and the quiet is good at observation. They are careful and rigorous. They are slow and graceful. Lin Daiyu's quiet and spotless, like a lotus leaf out of mud, is admirable, while Zhou Zhiruo, a strange girl created by Jin Yong in The Dragon Slayer, is as quiet and profound as a daffodil and intoxicating. Static is more comfortable than moving, because it exudes a mature charm.
Only meditation can focus, as the so-called still water is deep. Deep holes formed in rocks are not the result of rough waves. No matter how hard it is, it will never be done. Only drop by drop can achieve it. It quietly falls on a point day and night, and finally "drops of water wear away the stone". This is the power of static concentration. Calm down, empty mind, let people focus on one thing. So why did Zhuge Liang choose to live in seclusion in Wolong Mountain? Because there is no secular noise in the mountains, he can concentrate on his studies without external interference. From this perspective, inner peace can make people more focused, and it is easier to get twice the result with half the effort.
You can realize the true meaning of life from silence. Buddhists participate in Zen and pay attention to "quietness". The so-called silence refers to the silence of the mind, not the silence of the material world. Since ancient times, many people who pursue the true meaning of life have only realized it from silence. A glass of wine and a lamp are far away from the hustle and bustle of the world, and live a quiet life of "picking chrysanthemums under the east fence and seeing Nanshan leisurely". This is Tao Qian's choice. It is Thoreau's choice to spend a chair, a lake and a person quietly by Walden Lake. Today, thousands of people in Zhong Nanshan also live a primitive "seclusion" life. They sat in Yun Qi watching the clouds fall, enjoying the flowers blooming and falling, and looking for the secret of reincarnation in the communication with nature. What a comfortable and quiet life! This group of people have already seen through the meaning of life, given up luxury and prosperity, and realized their own life value in silence.
Of course, although the charm of quietness is great, for some people, it can only be "far away but not ridiculous." It is not so easy to be quiet. Because of this, it can become what we have been pursuing.
Take a deep breath and feel the charm brought by the quiet breath.
