When I was young, I heard the theory of 'destroying people's desires and preserving heavenly principles', and I felt a wave of disgust in my heart, thinking how can people have no desires, how can desires be destroyed, and if desires are destroyed, what joy is there in human life. At one time, it was determined that this statement must be feudal dross, a trick of the feudal ruler to control the people and fool the people, and a technique to imprison thoughts, so it is necessary to stay away.
Until I experienced the tribulations of life, I was once breathless, felt that life was meaningless, and once entered a low point in life. People will always encounter tribulations on the road of life, and the root cause of tribulations lies in self-perception and contradiction with the rules of operation of the avenue. And tribulation is not a bad thing, the real bad thing is that a person has never even encountered tribulation in his life.
In the same way, in the midst of tribulation, some people are shaped by tribulation, and some are destroyed by tribulation. It is not the result of the tribulation or the shaping of the ordeal, but the choice of the people who are in the midst of it. Mencius said: "Heaven will descend on people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and act chaotically, so they will be tempted to endure and gain what they cannot." ”
The coming of the tribulation is to make people completely abandon the ego, completely give up a little cognition of the ego, if we continue to adhere to our own little cognition and walk the road of life, then the tribulation will not end. The old man was reshaped due to tribulation, the so-called phoenix nirvana, first died and then lived. Those who have not suffered have a strong ego and will not give up on the ego, so they will not be able to attain true wisdom throughout their lives. Confucius said: "Only the superior wisdom and the lower foolishness are unswerving." "The wise and the foolish are all people who cannot let go of the ego, and they cannot embrace the wisdom of the saints in the ego constructed by the living self all their lives.
Only when people completely let go of their ego can they be truly reshaped, and continue to absorb the wisdom of the saints, so as to find their original self and their own wisdom. And when people don't believe in themselves at all, they will look to the wisest people in Chinese history to learn from. And the people who are known to have the highest wisdom are the saints, but the saints say that in order to get the truth of the world, it is necessary to destroy human desires.
If the ego is too stubborn, the person will definitely scoff at it, and the so-called corporal will laugh when he hears it, and it is not enough not to laugh at it. The only advantage of a person who has let go of his ego is that he has obtained an empty heart, and at this time, in addition to himself, as long as he can tell him how to improve himself, he will practice it. So you can be tempted to endure and destroy people's desires in a down-to-earth manner.
When people practice the kung fu of destroying people's desires, they find out. It's not that 'destroying human desires' imprisons people, but that human desires are too difficult to extinguish, so although the way of the saints is simple and easy, it is not easy to practice.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit. What's more, in today's world, everyone is chasing fame and fortune to the point of madness, and human desire is really hard to extinguish. Everyone has a good name, good fortune, and lust. Some people can't even quit smoking in their lives, so how dare they speak lightly to destroy people's desires.
Therefore, practitioners finally understand the fact that things that destroy people's desires cannot be achieved unless those with aspirations. This matter is the business of the brave, and it is not feasible for the brave to do it. But there will always be people in this world who are shameful and brave, so they start to practice the desire to destroy people regardless of it. When people want to destroy a point, the heavenly principle will be revealed, until the people's desire is completely destroyed, and finally I know that the saint is sincere and does not deceive me.
The way of a saint is as simple as it gets, and if you destroy a point of human desire, you will get a point of heavenly truth. This is not a way that can be done by the brave, and there is no ambition for those who have not experienced hardships. Therefore, if there are people who are in the midst of tribulation, it is an excellent time to fulfill the destiny of heaven and return to heavenly principles. I'm afraid that my ambition is not firm enough, and I'm not afraid that the saints will deceive the world!
Mr. Yang Ming said: "If you don't have a will, there is nothing you can do in the world." "What's more, it is the fundamental thing of life to seek the Tao, and those who have no ambition cannot seek the Tao!
Destroying people's desires and preserving heavenly principles is the only way to obtain heavenly principles and emancipate the mind! In this way, there are people who have practiced and realized that in order to attain heavenly justice, they must destroy human desires. If human desires are not destroyed, the principles of heaven will not appear.
