The three most important points of Wang Yangming’s theory of mind are as follows:

1. “The heart is reason” - Wang Yangming

“The heart is reason; There is no reason outside, and there is nothing outside the heart." This is the starting point and main basis of Wang Yangming's theory of mind. For people who want to achieve great things, there are three keys to understanding the essence of this psychology:

First, you must realize that your heart is the root of all the problems you encounter, and it is also the solution to these problems. The core of the problem.

Your life and everything you encounter in life are created by you and your own heart, whether good or bad. Therefore, if you want to achieve great things, the key is to look inward and manage your heart well;

Second, your inner world is a rich treasure, and the abilities, success, wealth, happiness, etc. you seek are etc., are all in your heart. What you really have to do is to dig out the wealth in your heart through extreme thinking;

Third, everyone has more than just wealth in their heart. There is also dirt and dirty things. Wang Yangming described them as "thieves in the heart." If you want to achieve great things, you must first get rid of the thieves in the heart!

2. "To have conscience" - Wang Yangming

What Wang Yangming talks about here, to have conscience, literally means to do things according to one's own conscience. But what is conscience is very particular. The conscience here is simply understood by many people as virtues such as morality, conscience, and sense of responsibility. This understanding is also correct, but it is only the surface layer of conscience. If it were just like this, then any good person would be able to achieve great things, but This is clearly not the case.

So, conscience has a deeper meaning. First of all, conscience is the laws, rules, and truths of the operation of this world and even the universe, that is, the great ways. If you want to achieve great things, you must follow these great ways and cannot go against them. God acts. Secondly, you must find your own ideals, goals, missions, and responsibilities in life, which are also conscience, and then strictly focus on these in the process of acting. Just like Wang Yangming, he has determined to become a saint since he was a child, and his life is based on Saints demand their own standards.

3. "Unity of knowledge and action" - Wang Yangming

"Unity of knowledge and action" is Wang Yangming's most famous famous aphorism, and it is also a core of Wang Yangming's spiritual wisdom. This The understanding of most of us is the same, that is, you must take action and have a positive spirit of joining the world. You cannot just shut yourself in a room to read and study, nor can you stay away from the world of mortals like a monk. You cannot just stay in the world. Think about the life you want in your mind, but you must take action, understand in the process of doing, verify what you have learned, and correct your mistakes...

In fact, those who have accomplished nothing, It’s not that your intelligence is much lower than others, nor that you haven’t read a book or have no education, but that you think too much and do too little, making your thinking a waste. As an Internet buzzword puts it, “at night” After thinking about a thousand ways, I get up in the morning and take the same old path." The final result is that it is difficult to accomplish a small thing even if it is not a big thing.
