Everyone hopes that his life will be happy and efficient.
Only when you have a truly clear understanding of yourself. Only then can you have a successful life. I know myself, but it is a very difficult thing to do.
Only by clearly understanding your own heart can you find the most basic starting point in this world and be kind to others.
Everything in the world should be allowed to take its course, and you should not impose your own ideas on others.
We always ask children according to the standards of the adult world. If you want to be famous in the future and make contributions in society, you must play the piano from the age of three, and you must learn American music from the age of four. If you had to dance ballet from the age of five, what would you have to compete with when you were six and in elementary school? When you go to school at the age of six, you have to sign up for a Mathematical Olympiad class and so on. Only in this way can you be competitive in society like our parents and go to college.
We use the rules and methods of the adult world to treat our dearest children. Instead of giving the child the happy time he deserves, he deprives it of it based on a standard of recognition.
Each of our eyes has two abilities: outward discovery and inward viewing. Outside you can discover an extremely vast world, and within you you can discover an extremely deep heart. How big the outer world is, how deep the inner depth is. This is completely proportional.
We often say today that life should take fewer detours. In fact, in a sense, there is no detour in life if you have not gone through that journey. How can you reach the present? If you don't stand now, how can you look back and say that it was a detour.
Every path in life must be measured by your own steps, and this process allows us to discover ourselves and be recognized.
Everyone should constantly examine themselves, which is another important condition for us to understand ourselves.
The most important thing to understand ourselves correctly is that we need to be self-aware.
Zhuangzi always maintained a clear-eyed examination of himself. From the state of life in the physical sense to the realm of life in the spiritual sense, Zhuangzi always maintained a clear mind.
A person should keep a pair of soul eyes besides his own body.
No one else can do this. Although there will always be people reminding you of your gains and losses, your rights and wrongs, we often lose ourselves blindly in the many comments of others.
If you have such a pair of soulful eyes. Only by always looking at ourselves can we remain calm and grasp our true inner desires.
We don’t have to make a tragic gesture every day while sighing, causing a lot of value to be lost in life.
Zhuangzi tells us that as long as you have a great realm in your heart, you will be able to see the true texture of your heart that transcends words and deeds. In other words, the true Dao in the heart, such as great discrimination, great benevolence, great integrity, and great courage, are not exposed to the outside world. They are kept in the heart and not publicized.
Zhuangzi said that this kind of place that is restrained in the heart but can encompass all things in the world is called talent, which is the treasury of all things in the world.
This heaven is infinitely vast, just like adding water to it will never be full, scooping water from it will never be exhausted, and you don’t know where its source is. Zhuangzi said: This is called Baoguang.
What is Baoguang? It is a kind of great light that is kept hidden in your heart. Only when you have a great realm in your heart can you have this great light. He is inexhaustible and can illuminate all things, and his light will last forever.
From knowing yourself, to listening to yourself, to cultivating yourself, to nurturing yourself, this is a beautiful life journey.
Everyone has a heaven, and everyone has the ability to maintain light. At this time, people no longer look at their abilities in terms of external achievements.
