[Day 1714].
Keep the mind in a good and pure state.
is the most important thing in life.
Read this paragraph:
Time is only the stream in which I fish, and I drink in the stream, but as I am drinking I see the bottom of the sand, and I feel how shallow it is. I'm willing to drink deeper water, fishing in the sky, the sky is dotted with stars, I can't even count a star, I don't know the first letter of the alphabet. I've always regretted that I wasn't as wise as I was on the first day of my life, intelligence is a knife that sees and cuts into the secrets of things, and I don't want my hands to be unnecessarily busy. Kazuo Inamori believes that the meaning of life is to constantly approach the true self, so that we can be self-sufficient, constantly cultivate ourselves, and keep the soul in a beautiful and pure state, which is the most important thing for people to do.
Mencius also mentioned: Those who do their best know their nature, and they also know their nature, and they know the heavens. Keep its heart and nurture its nature, so everything is also good.
To maintain people's original heart and maintain people's nature is to follow the way of heaven.
When I read Walden, I had the feeling that my soul seemed to be cleansed and clear.
In this world, it is enough for people to get a little calorie to survive, what do they do with the rest of the time? It is to fully cultivate one's mind and make one's inner self rich and peaceful.
If "abundance and tranquility" is the most beautiful pursuit of life, then we can let go of a lot of things, keep letting go, keep letting go, and become more and more relaxed.
I remembered that Bai Min asked us some time ago: Do you think there is anything you can't put down?
When I was 20 years old, my answer was definitely different now, at that time, there were too many worries, too many attachments, all from not getting, so I was very persistent, I wanted to complete my obsession, I wanted to be with my beloved, I wanted to take on my own responsibilities, and I wanted a lot of things.
Now the answer is completely different, I feel that there is nothing to cling to, things that I can't ask for, then change it, people and things that I can't give up, then let it be - I feel that I already have a lot of things, I have to cherish it, cherish this blessing.
Life, probably this is a process of living more and more simply, this simplicity is based on "satisfaction", if you feel that nothing is satisfied, there is probably no way to "let go", some are unwilling, some are resentful, and maybe there are more resentments towards the world.
Just like Qingwen in the Dream of Red Mansions, she is afraid of heaven and earth, and she always has to stab people when she speaks, there is no word "peace" in her world, some people are not pleasing to the eye, they have to pick thorns when they look at anyone, and they have to scare everyone when they talk to them, how can such people be happy in their hearts? Her heart is always unsatisfactory to herself, and there are many such people around us, and even sometimes when she is in a bad mood, she may become like this.
Be vigilant and don't let yourself be like this.
