Knowing that you travel north on the mysterious water and climb the mountain of seclusion, you suffer from inaction. Knowing to do nothing means: "If you want to ask, you will know what you are thinking and worrying about." Where is the safe way? Where did you get the Tao? "Three questions don't do, just don't answer, don't answer, don't answer. You can't ask if you know, but in the south of Baishui, you can climb on the fox and see how crazy you are. What you know is also crazy. " Alas! If you know, you will say what you want to say and forget what you want to say. "Do you know what to ask? This is against the palace. Ask when you see the yellow emperor. The Yellow Emperor said, "You won't know until you think about it. You don't know until you have service. There's no way to know. "
Knowing, he asked the Yellow Emperor, "I know it, but I don't know it. Which is evil? " The yellow emperor said, "if you don't do it, you will be true, and if you do it, you will be crazy." I didn't come near you after all. The knower does not speak, and the speaker does not know, so the sage teaches without speaking. Tao can't be caused, and morality can't be achieved. Benevolence can be done, righteousness can be lost, and ceremony is false. As the saying goes,' if you lose your virtue, you will lose your virtue and then be benevolent; When you lose your benevolence, then your righteousness, you lose your righteousness, and then your ceremony. The ceremony was chaotic at first. Therefore, there is a saying that' if you walk for the Tao, you will lose money every day. If you lose money, you will do nothing, and if you do nothing, you will do everything'. It's a thing now, and it's not difficult to trace back to the source! Very simple, only adults! Who knows the discipline of those who are born and sick, born and sick, and who knows their discipline! When people are born, they gather together. If you gather, you will live, but if you disperse, you will die. What's wrong with me coming back from the dead! Therefore, everything is magical because of its beauty and decays because of its evil; Rotten rot is transformed into magic, and magic is transformed into rotten rot. So' the world is in one ear'. Sage is so expensive. "
Knowing the Yellow Emperor, he said, "When I ask about inaction, inaction means no response. I have to, but I don't know if I should. When I ask some crazy questions, I want to sue me instead of me. If I don't sue, I want to sue. If I ask you what day it is today, if I know, I won't be close? " The Yellow Emperor said, "If it is true, I don't know it." : this is like, but also forgotten; If it is not close to the end, it is also known. "
I am crazy about it, and I know it with the Yellow Emperor.
Translation:
Until he went north to the shore of Xuanshui, he climbed a hill called Yinan, where he happened to meet the theory of inaction. Knowing inaction means: "I want to ask you a few questions: how to think, how to think to understand Tao?" How to live and act according to the Tao? What to follow and how to get the word? "Asked several times, I don't answer, not because I don't answer, but I don't know how to answer. Knowing that he couldn't get the answer from inaction, he went back to the south bank of Baishui and climbed a hill called Fox Kun, where he saw madness. Knowing the previous questions, I asked Kuangqu for advice. Kuangqu said, "Well, I know how to answer these questions, so I will tell you. It's just that I was about to speak but forgot what I was going to say. "Knowing that Kuangqu didn't answer, he turned back to the residence of the Yellow Emperor and asked him again when he saw the Yellow Emperor. The Yellow Emperor said, "You can know without thinking. You can stop by without safety or action, and you can't get the way without obedience. "
Knowing this, he asked the Yellow Emperor, "You and I both know these truths, but inaction and arrogance don't know these truths. So, who is right? " The yellow emperor said: "inaction is true and right, madness is close to right;" You and I have never been near the aisle. Those who know don't talk, those who talk don't know, and saints educate without talking. Tao can't be achieved by words, and virtue can't be achieved by words. No preference can make a difference, morality can lose money and be incomplete, and the implementation of etiquette is only mutual hypocrisy and fraud. Therefore,' if you lose your way, you can gain virtue; If you lose your virtue, you can gain benevolence; If you lose your benevolence, you can gain righteousness; If you lose your righteousness, you will get a gift. Ceremony is the disguise of Tao and the culprit of chaos. Therefore, people who observe the Tao must remove their disguise every day, and then remove it until they reach the realm of inaction. When they reach the realm of inaction, they have nothing to do. Now that I have done some things abroad, is it difficult to get back to basics? If it's easy to change one's roots, I'm afraid only enlightened people!
"Life is the same kind of death, and death is the beginning of life. Who knows their thread! The birth of man is the aggregation of qi, which forms life, and the dispersion of qi is death. If death and life belong to the same species, then what am I worried about? So, everything is the same after all. In this way, those so-called beautiful things are regarded as magic, those so-called disgusting things are regarded as rot, and rotten things can be transformed into magic, and magical things can be transformed into rot. Therefore,' the whole world is the same gas'. Therefore, saints value the characteristics of the integration of all things. "
Zhihe said to the Yellow Emperor, "I asked about inaction. Inaction means not answering me, not not answering me, but not knowing what to answer me." I asked Kuang Qu, but he wanted to tell me but didn't tell me, not because he didn't tell me, but because he wanted to tell me but forgot how to tell me. Now I want to ask you again, you know my question, why do you say that it is not a shortcut to answer me? "The Yellow Emperor said:" Those who do nothing are called the road to true knowledge, because they know nothing; "He approached the Tao because he forgot; You and I can't get close to the Tao after all, because we know everything. "
Kuangqu heard about it and thought that the words of the Yellow Emperor were the most learned words.
