Some people say, "To cultivate the mind is to feel at ease. Even if a person has done something wrong, he can still feel at ease after repairing his heart. "
This statement is a bit sophistry. There is nothing wrong with cultivating the mind. But the premise is sincerity, so as to help people and things and conform to the right path in the world.
I think his statement comes from something abroad. In foreign countries, some people think they have done something wrong, then repent and pray, and then go on living with peace of mind, as always.
The essence of cultivating the mind is to become a better person, and there is no internal friction in doing things. Peace of mind, there will be no unnecessary internal friction.
Internal friction is often immersed in a certain emotion, which affects life, normal work and daily activities. Another example is often confused, wasting spirit and suffering. These are all internal frictions of the mind.
A person, without inner conflict and ambivalence, can always be calm and carefree, happy and carefree. Although sometimes he is nervous when doing things, he always has spare capacity.
People have feelings and have to think, but if they feel wrong and puzzled, they should set their eyes on reality and focus on practical things, even the smallest things, such as cleaning up and sweeping the floor. Paying attention to the outside can also prevent internal friction.
In short, don't suffer from internal friction, such as not being trapped by emotions, getting rid of psychological contradictions and feeling at ease, turning inward and outward when in doubt, and so on.
