But since ancient times, there has been a clean stream, which advocates that life should be inaction. The philosophers of this school are still very big. There are Laozi, Sakyamuni, Jesus and others. In modern times, due to the increasing pressure, the so-called spirit school became more popular, and this philosophy was more integrated and developed, and many scientists were deeply influenced by it. So, what does this "inaction" mean?
Doing nothing is relative to doing something. In fact, heaven and earth can't last for a moment. How can people stop? The so-called inaction is man-made action.
Many people's actions are artificial. Xunzi said, "Turn nature into falsehood". Not completely hypocritical, but some are indeed self-disciplined and self-regulated. But if you go too far, that is the difficulty of the golden mean. Once it is over, people will forget the true colors of life and fall into a "futile" situation.
What is the essence of life? Is to enjoy this life, nothing else, because we didn't bring life, nor did we bring death. How to enjoy life? Obey your heart and live freely. This is the original intention of enjoying life, that is, "governing by doing nothing." "inaction" is based on "not cutting its nature". Human nature should be done, so it is inaction.
When China first emerged, this school seemed to be doing the right thing with Confucius and Mencius. Confucius specifically talked about how a saint should be a man, how to govern the country with rites and music, how to be a saint inside and a king outside, and so on. Lao Tzu and Zhuangzi said, don't do these things. They are against humanity. You should do nothing and try to return to the state that nature originally gave you. With the development of the times, Confucius and Mencius' "promising faction" seems to have gained the upper hand. But in fact, the two musical instruments have always complemented each other and become two musical instruments to reconcile the spirit of the ancient people in China, especially the literati.
"Success will help the world, poverty will help the world", which is not unique to Mencius, but is owned by people with will. However, poverty does not mean loneliness, and poverty also has its own achievements. Even when helping the world, if there is no good physical and mental adjustment, how can we be competent for all kinds of difficult and arduous work? Therefore, although he is heavy, he can still handle it easily. Yu Yong is very good, talking and laughing. "Talking and laughing, it's gone." Isn't that what the ancients appreciated? "Every major event has calmness." Where does this static gas come from? It comes from the practice of inaction.
How to cultivate inaction? It is normal to know from the words of ancient sages that people are not born. However, to understand one thing, you can learn something and lose something. Different from ordinary learning, it belongs to "playing and learning"; It belongs to the process of asking you to let go. Why do we need to put it down? We have accumulated so much in this world that we all think we can take it away, but we can't. If we can't carry the heavy things in the world, we know to let go, but we can't let go of the heavy burden in our hearts. This is stress. The essence of pressure comes from "artificial" behavior, and "artificial" comes from education.
It is a rare nature that man belongs to an educatable species. Most creatures have only a certain degree of education. So they can't surpass themselves, but they are themselves. However, people add the attribute of education, which makes people go beyond their own limitations, makes people have great plasticity, but also brings people pain. People can't jump at will like in the forest, although that may be the most accord with human nature. People have many ideas, which are formed in the long-term educational mechanism. Such as our sense of shame, our social consciousness, responsibility and responsibility. Therefore, everyone is proud and dignified. Animals don't talk about dignity. It should be said that they sometimes talk about dignity, but they are not like us. All this must be related to culture, which will cause psychological and even physical discomfort. For example, if you say something uncomfortable, you will really feel uncomfortable, which is exactly the case.
Because culture and education come from the conventions guarded by the collective, no matter when, they can't be changed by individuals, so there must be the phenomenon that the results of culture and education oppress individuals. In some cases, this pressure must still exist to ensure the survival of society and individuals. However, excessive pressure becomes "artificial", and the so-called artificial behavior is false. "I don't know, I'm reckless, I'm fierce."
Therefore, we should understand the phenomenon of human behavior in essence and finally return to the root. "We walked for so long that we forgot why we started." However, the knowledge learned in a person's life is limited, and with the intensification of social division of labor, many people have fallen into a dead end and do not know the root cause. Philosophy is the search for fundamental knowledge. In essence, philosophy should make clear why human beings are like this, so that people living in this world can make choices that conform to their own nature. In essence, we have to go back before we can start, otherwise we may just keep spinning. "Know where to come, know where to go."
Inaction is a practice of removing branches and returning to nature. Let's continue, starting with the words, and let ourselves relax bit by bit. Because speech is the main carrier of thought, it can drive the body and action by breaking the pressure of speech or the self-suggestion of speech. Tell yourself: relax ~ the world is beautiful, existence is blessing, everything has divinity and coexists with nature.
Then, in practice, we need to focus rather than persist, that is, live in the present. Focus on it and let go. I try my best to experience, appreciate and savor every moment, then life is complete.
When you do these things, you should also have fun. Don't pursue perfection, or you will easily fall into something. Allowing defects to exist is also a kind of beauty.
Let's review some words of sages about "inaction". Laozi mentioned as many as 65,438+02 places in the Tao Te Ching (565,438+062 words in total), and the representative ones are: "The sage does nothing, teaches no words, does nothing without doing anything, does nothing without doing anything, does something without doing it, and does something without doing it." If you are a husband, you can't go. ""Suntech doesn't think, but Friedrich Hirth thinks. Ren Shang didn't think, Shang Yi thought, Shang Li didn't respond, so he threw it away. So, you lose your virtue, you lose your virtue, then you lose your benevolence, then you lose your righteousness, then you lose your righteousness. The gift of the husband is the first of thin and chaotic loyalty. " "The world is the softest and strongest, and there is nothing in it. I know it's good to do nothing. Teaching without words is the benefit of inaction, and the world looks forward to it. " "Learning to be excellent is an official, and it is a loss for the country. Loss and loss make inaction and inaction. " "For inaction, inaction, tasteless. Good for evil, big or small. This number is easier and more difficult than it, because it is more detailed than it. It is easy to do difficult things in the world, and it is necessary to do great things in the world. It is because saints are not big in the end that they can become big. " "For not, for not disorderly. Broken wood is born in the end; Nine-story platform, starting with tired soil; A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Those who do lose, and those who do lose. It is based on the inaction of saints, so there is no defeat; Without holding, there is no loss. People's sense of participation is often defeated by several achievements. If you are careful to the end, there will be no failure. "
Zhuangzi also said, "What customs do today is not as good as what they like. I don't know if the fruit of happiness is evil. I look at what my husband and wife like, and what the group is interested in seems to be necessary, but they are all happy, and I am not happy or happy. It's not funny. Is it interesting? I am sincere and happy with inaction, but I also suffer from vulgarity. Therefore, "happiness without happiness is the best, and reputation without reputation is the best." The world is uncertain about right and wrong. Although, inaction can decide right or wrong. Live a happy life, but do nothing several times. Please try to say it. The sky is clear without doing anything, and the earth is flat without doing anything, so the two things are one and everything is transformed. The mountains are almost fluorene, but it is impossible to be surprised! Fluorene is almost brilliant, but nothing likes it! Everything comes from inaction. Therefore, there is nothing in heaven and earth, and people are omnipotent! "
Jesus also said affectionately, "Don't worry about what you eat and drink for your life." Worried about what to wear. Is life better than food? Is health better than clothes? ? Look at the birds in the sky. They don't sow, gather or store in barns. Father your feeds them. Aren't you much more valuable than a bird? Which one of you can add a moment to your life by thinking? Why worry about clothes? Think about how the lilies in the field grow. It neither works hard nor rotates. I tell you, even in all his glory, Solomon was not dressed like one of these flowers. You little believers, the grass in the field is still there today and will be thrown into the stove tomorrow. Besides, God will give it such ornaments. So don't worry, say, what to eat? What to drink? What to wear? This is what foreigners want. Your heavenly father knows all these things you need. Seek his kingdom and his righteousness first. These things are to be added to you. So don't worry about tomorrow. Because tomorrow has its own troubles. One day's difficulty is enough. "
The nirvana and abnormality of Buddhism is "inaction". What is "promising"? Have a heart, have a persistent, respectively, there is hope. Buddhism denies the separation of mind. In fact, the separation of mind is inevitable, and it is the introduction for people to observe infinity from finiteness. Beyond this separation of mind and mind, to achieve the unity of things and me is "inaction" I think the Diamond Sutra is also talking about "inaction", which is illusory in all aspects. If you see something different, you will see the Tathagata. I also talk about doing merit, but you can't read "I did merit" in your heart, which is also a kind of "inaction".
Even Confucianism, which pays the most attention to "behavior", has the method of "inaction" to nourish the heart. There is a cloud in "University": Zhi Zhi decided later, then decided to be quiet, then quiet and safe, then safe and thinking, and then got it. It is advocated that only after understanding the purpose of life (stop at perfection) can we be slow and steady and engage in various affairs. Mencius said, "Governing by doing nothing, governing by doing nothing, doing whatever you want, that's all." This is also the beauty of "sincerity and righteousness".
It can be seen that inaction is actually an inevitable and necessary adjustment in a promising society. It is a natural behavior after we recognize the essence, which saves the most effort and can reach the highest level of life. If you don't use "inaction", it will eventually work, make mistakes, and eventually let go. The beauty of the sage is put down at the right time, and it will not lead to greater inner confusion. This is the way of self-cultivation, self-cultivation and self-cultivation, and it is also the way to enjoy life. Finally, we end today's discussion with the discussion about inaction in the Book of Changes: Yi, thinking nothing, doing nothing, being silent and feeling the world. If it is not the highest god in the world, what can it do with it?
