If life is a cognitive practice, then what is the goal of the practice after all, if you just focus on the long-term results, maybe it can only be a nothingness, if you only stop at the actions of the here and now, then is this kind of non-action life worth it? Some people are "chaotic", some people are "foolish dreams", some people "live to be old and learn from the old", and some people are "insightful about the world".
First, you don't know you don't know.
In fact, most people are at this stage in most areas of the world. Most people cannot escape the shackles of their own ignorance because "freezing three feet is not a day's cold", "the only thing I know is that I know nothing", and the first obstacle to opening the door of wisdom is to recognize one's own ignorance. Many people stay in this field all their lives, but they can't break through their own arrogance and laziness, which is why the ancients said: "Humility, auspiciousness, no disadvantage", that is to say, a modest and cautious attitude is the basis for improving cognition.
Second, you know you don't know.
The power of "narrow door thinking" lies in the fact that when you realize your ignorance, you begin to study and study, practice and verify, and continue to experience the cycle of "affirmation, negation, and negation of negation". The process at this stage needs the encouragement of like-minded people, the introspection of "not forgetting the original intention", and the persistence of patience and loneliness, so as to interpret "doing one's best to obey the destiny of heaven".
Third, you don't know you know.
As you cross the high mountains, you will find higher mountains coming into view. However, at this time, you will not sigh "the height of the mountain, the road is far", because you know that no matter how high the mountain is, there will be a peak, no matter how far the road is, there will be an end, maybe the companions on the road will continue to decrease, but "there is an inch of joy in an inch", humbly learning has become a part of life, and the integration is the flash of inspiration of "leisurely seeing Nanshan", looking up at the stars "entering the pure land, retreating into the dust".
Fourth, you know you know.
Seventy from the heart does not exceed the rules", when you go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties to obtain the true scriptures, only to find that the so-called true scriptures are the "Wukong, Wuneng and Wujing" in the course of life. The road to enlightenment seems far away, but in fact it is everywhere, "mountains are still mountains, water is still water", "three stars of the oblique moon, Lingtai Fangcun Mountain", maybe a lifetime is a journey of "seeking the heart", practice seems to be just to find the true self, maybe artificial intelligence can only stop here!
