In a modern society where material civilization is becoming more and more abundant, countless people often fall into anxiety, and their bodies will be inexplicably uncomfortable.
The younger generation is also the age of 30 and the body of 60 years old, and the mind and body are always not moving forward in sync.
Of course, I'm no exception.
I saw someone recommending Li Xin's "Enlightenment of Classic Chinese Medicine", and after reading it with curiosity, my heart felt as if I was recuperated.
The reason why modern people are tired is, in the final analysis, emotional disharmony.
Legend has it that the Indians had a custom that if they walked too fast, they would stop, and the white man asked him, why did he stop?
The Indians replied, "Go too fast for my soul to keep up." ”
The Yellow Emperor's Neijing says:
Eat and drink modestly, live a regular life, and do not work in vain, so that you can form and be like God, and end your days and live a hundred years old.There are many understandings about "form and spirit" in the "Yellow Emperor's Neijing", including the well-known one:
Tranquility and nothingness, true qi comes from it, the spirit is guarded, and illness is never safe.
Thinking too far, thinking too much, always thinking about things, constantly holding the phone to look at this and that, or keep talking, and keep doing things.
The brain is always like a perpetual motion machine that constantly directs us to go here and there, but never asks if our hearts are still in place.
Many of us are like Xu Hongdou living in Beijing in the TV series "Going to a Windy Place", the hands in a huge clock, never stop until he falls, only to find that he has lost himself for a long time, and that self is his own heart.
If you don't pay attention all the time, you will lose the ability to pay attention.
The Tao Te Ching says:
The movement of the opposite is the use of the weak.This sentence is also applied in the essence of our lives, we must let the things that go up go down, and the things that go down go up.
Therefore, we must have the courage and strength to see through the illusion of our reality in life, to allow ourselves to sit quietly in restlessness for a while, or go for a walk in nature, without talking, without looking at our phones, and return to ourselves.
University said:
From the Son of Heaven to the Shu people, all of them are based on self-cultivation."Those who want to cultivate their bodies must first correct their hearts. ”
When Wang Zengqi and Wang Lao lived in Yunnan, there was a "steam pot chicken" shop in Kunming, and there was no store name, and a plaque was hung at the entrance with four big characters written on it: "Cultivate righteousness". That's why everyone calls this restaurant "cultivating righteousness". In the past, as soon as the people of Kunming said: "Today we are going to cultivate righteousness", and after hearing this, they knew that this was going to eat "steam pot chicken".
At that time, when I read this prose, I felt very happy, and I called eating a healthy qi, and the mood of the person who ate was different all of a sudden, which not only satisfied the appetite but also cultivated a heroic qi to the inner world.
We will always face many choices in our daily life, what to eat, which one to buy, whether to study abroad or stay in China, and various multiple-choice questions require us to give a clear answer.
As for the reason, we have become accustomed to weighing the pros and cons, using our own thinking to compare and analyze, in fact, the answer that is most suitable for us may have deviated from us for a long time.
Just like "Steam Pot Chicken" jokingly called "cultivating righteousness", why do we know to go to that store, because it is the choice of the heart, to meet the needs of the taste buds, and we care more about whether the heart needs it.
Although it is a marketing method of the store, it also shows that the needs of the heart are the true needs of people.
Teacher Li Xin also put forward opinions in human experience:
If I have been hesitating and thinking about one thing, I remind myself that my mental program is wrong at the moment, and I should switch to it, and if it doesn't work, I will let it go first.
If we linger in a lost thought, it is like boarding a train to the market, and from there we begin to move from a god to a sick person.
If there is an answer to a thing now, and it is very reassuring and does not think about it, this is the best answer. When faced with a choice, there is no answer, thinking and thinking, your heart is churning, and you can't sleep, there are several possibilities: first, this matter is not suitable for you, you don't need to participate, but you are attracted by the gains and losses of fame and fortune, but you know that this is not the right thing in your deeper inner life, so you hesitate there. Second, this matter has not yet reached the time for you to make a decision, the momentum in the void has not yet arrived, and the answer has not yet been formed.The best solution for everything is the harmony of the present and the accumulation of the past.
As long as we find that the train of life is heading in the direction of abnormality, we must turn our minds and return to the right position.
The mind also contains good thoughts and evil thoughts, and every thought and every word behind us actually contains great power.
Sincere blessings, do not fall into the "sea of resentment".
As there is a saying in Buddhism:
Do no evil. All good is pursued. Self-purification.In recent years, I have read more and more books, and I have discovered that the ocean of knowledge is as vast as the universe.
I even feel very powerless sometimes, especially for an ordinary person like me, who doesn't have a memorable memory, and a series of knowledge that I can't swallow in one go.
It is true that you can't chew too much, and it is also true that "there is no end to life and no end to learning".
It is in this way that he realizes the limitations of his life, that what you know is only a side of you, and what he knows is also a side of his world.
There was an issue of "Round Table Pie" actor He Bing said that a friend of his said something that made him suddenly relieved of himself, he said:
Tolstoy once said that no matter how great a writer is, he is only writing about his personal part.Great writers are still like this, why do we, ordinary people, cling to one side of the world and being paranoid to the end.
All kinds of disciplines, knowledge, and technologies have been constantly improving and progressing in the flow of thousands of years, and we should be aware of the shortness of our lives and the limitations of our minds.
Don't always stand impassionedly and shout at one visual side and let yourself be drawn as a prison.
Without recognizing their own limitations, they always clash like an immature child and become an extreme individual.
Liang Xiaosheng also said in Dong Yuhui's live broadcast room that probably what he can write is only the area he is familiar with, and if he is asked to write about the workplace, economy, etc., he can't write.
We should not stand in our own light to see the world, we don't know much, we have limited knowledge, we have limited reading, we let our minds be closed, we can neither see the light of others, nor can we shine ourselves.
I like a sentence in "The Yellow Emperor's Inner Canon":
"Float with all things at the gate of growth".
Now it is just the coming of spring, heaven and earth are born, and all things are glorious.
Let your life return to its original nature, have walked so many roads, and encountered a lot of bad things, you must finally understand that one day we will return to the dust, and there is no special item.
Let yourself be guided by your heart, and if it is right, then there will be a new color and light in your life, and you will be complete and self-sufficient.
May we all be the full and innocent selves, just like the motto of Grandpa Jacques mentioned in Mr. Li Xin's book:
"Be quiet, learn, and serve others."
In addition to the material life, we should understand the true meaning of coming to the world.
