Doing nothing is the sky, doing nothing is the virtue, loving people and things is benevolence, different is big, not different is wide, and there are thousands of differences are rich. (Zhuangzi).
If you stand in the dimension of heaven and earth and know the Tao, everything is just the carrier of the Tao
Although it is infinitely vast and infinitely grand, it is also very concrete and concrete;
Therefore, please pay attention to the gentleman, any distracting thoughts are contrary to the Tao, rather than acting in a disorderly manner, it is better not to do it!
Isn't it?It is no secret that the Tao is natural;
It is precisely because of the limited cognition that people cannot understand it from the dimension of heaven and earth, so any action made by imagination alone will not have a bias and purpose;
It is in this sense thatInaction is better than doing, but inaction is the most in line with morality
Obviously, compared with Zhuangzi, we think more from the perspective of the individual, rather than from the perspective of heaven and earth
Therefore, most of our understanding of Zhuangzi also has such deviations and shifts;
I thought it could only be that I thought that it was far from the original intention of the question raised by Zhuangzi!
On the basis of this understanding, even the concrete concepts advocated by the ancient sages, such as benevolence, greatness, tolerance, wealth, etc., are obviously individualized in the eyes of Zhuangzi, and they are only intended to educate people's thinking
Zhuangzi was probably opposed to this kind of enlightenment with an obvious purpose, rather than to the efforts of the sages to transform nature.
How, then, should we know the Word?
Dao, like water, is not controlled by people, but you have to deal with it, what should I do?The best thing to do is to channel it like water
Through water, we can imagine it as if it existed like water, which is the origin of the goodness of water.
Therefore, looking at the sky from the perspective of the Tao, the height of the sky is beyond the reach of the eye, and the thickness of the earth is beyond the reach of the heartBut whether people come or not, the talent is clearly there;
And looking at the Tao from the perspective of heaven is beyond the reach of human beings;This is why Lao Zhuang wants to advocate inaction;
Look, hereWuwei is not to do nothing, but to follow the Tao, conform to the Tao, the essence of which is to follow the trend!
In this way,Adhering to the nature given by nature is the outline of any behaviorJi;
In the long run, if you are virtuous and virtuous, you will definitely be able to complete your cultivation
As a gentleman, shouldn't you have such self-restraint and be wise as nature?
Isn't it?Nature hides gold in the mountains, and sinks pearls in the abyss;Therefore, man must also dare to be like nature, and dare to reveal his perfection or imperfection;
When you have such a mind, when you look at life and death, fame and fortune, you will be like water and will never regret it.
