The Tao can be the way, the non-constant way, the name can be named, and the name is not constant. Since the word spoken by others is not the true word, and the name is not the real name, then the true word is **? The Tao is only in a trance, the Tao is invisible, unspeakable, unrecognizable, and cannot be transmitted, so where is the way for us to attain the Tao? How do I verify that I am enlightened? If so, how can you distinguish the authenticity? Are there many questions bothering you?
In fact, the Tao Te Ching has already told us the answer: there is always no desire, in order to observe its wonder; There is often desire, in order to observe its 徼 (jiao).
When we observe the trajectory and logic of a thing, we must first enter the state of "desirelessness". That is to say, we must not substitute our own subjective thoughts, do not carry our own thoughts and desires, and treat ourselves as an irrelevant person, without any interests and emotions in them, so that we can observe their mystery and essence. Because once people have desires, they will consciously or unconsciously screen those conclusions that are beneficial to themselves, and then ignore those factors that are unfavorable to themselves, and they will not see comprehensively. The so-called authorities are confused, and bystanders are clear, this is the truth. The authorities only see what they like to see, and the conclusions they reach are naturally difficult to approach the avenue and far from the underlying logic. The onlooker has no idea of right and wrong, no interest doping, looks at the mountain as the mountain and the water as the water, and can often describe the operation of things truthfully. Only after seeing the essence can we see the true logic of this thing.
A former colleague of mine, whose wife watched the child at home for a few years after giving birth, was reluctant to go to work in the factory anymore and wanted to start her own business. He brushed a ** one day, a female stall owner of a roadside stall, who operated braised duck neck, duck head, and chicken feet flavored snacks, and set up stalls at noon and afternoon, with a daily turnover of about 17,800 yuan, and the cost was only 400 yuan, and the profit was quite objective, so he came to ask me and wanted his wife to sell grilled sausages. It stands to reason that he actually has the answer in his heart, and I can't actually say anything bad, and opposing or approving is actually not my real attitude.
I thought about it, I told him like this, you have an idea now very good, I suggest that if you can contact the owner of **, it is best to learn more from her, the location of the stall, the taste of the goods, the pricing strategy, the surrounding environment, how long it has been placed and so on. If you can't contact him, just go to the place where you want to set up a stall, go and observe for a few days, what neighborhoods are around, what stalls, what supermarkets, what the population structure is like, etc., don't fantasize about making money. It depends on **, is it constantly flowing, or can you stop and buy? Is parking allowed on the side of the road? How many people are on the sidewalk? The entrance of the community is deserted or how ......
These are all "wonderful" behaviors, and at this stage, you must not think that what you think is right, just observe, observe, observe ......Thinking, thinking, thinking, driving thinking through viewing, and then attaining wonder, that is, mystery. Of course, attaining the Tao is not our ultimate pursuit, but using the Tao is what we need.
After "watching the wonder", it means that only after understanding the ins and outs of the event and running the logic can we enter the state of "desire". Attaching one's desires to the trajectory of the Tao and relating what one wants to obtain with the logic of observation. How does the logic runtime benefit people? How does it cause damage? How to operate in order to be successful according to the law? How should I get my benefits?
"Observing its interests" means observing the operating rules of its interests, and seeing the clues clearly, so that our purpose and operating logic can not contradict each other. You have to do things to succeed. We think differently according to the principle of its origin, that is, to empathize, this position is not power or wealth, but after analyzing the conditions we have, how to use these conditions, if we want to win, then the opponent will definitely not be willing to lose. What advantages do I have in my position? Inferior position? What do I have to do to defeat my opponent? What will the opponent do to fight back? Then, think of yourself as an opponent, and then review it according to your previous thinking, so that you will know that you will not be defeated in a hundred battles.
Continuing from the above case, after observing the environment in which you want to set up a stall, do you see if other stalls make money? What money do you make? How to make money from stalls in other neighborhoods and intersections? By observing several neighborhoods and making comparisons, you can conclude whether it is feasible to set up a stall there to sell grilled sausages. Anyone's rhetoric is inferior to their own observation and thinking, because all the investment and risk is their own, wishful thinking does not solve the problem, because fear of doing nothing will not solve the problem.
The way of the Tao and the use of the Tao are the difference between people's thoughts, but the order must not be reversed. Everything has its way, but the way is not obvious, only with the intention to see that you can get something, just like the rotation of the four seasons, not all of a sudden big change, but we need to observe and feel, only to know that spring flowers bloom, autumn to fruit.
