There is no traffic to write the Tao Te Ching, and I will insist on writing it without traffic, if I meet someone I know one day, maybe the opportunity will come.
Lao Tzu wrote the Tao Te Ching at will, and I also want to learn from him, and write the Tao Te Ching articles according to my own ideas, right and wrong are not so important.
I always think that Lao Tzu is a master of human nature. Almost all of those who can do things are like this, and they have a subtle understanding of human nature.
For example, Lao Tzu mentioned again in the twenty-fourth chapter of the Tao Te Ching that "those who see themselves are not clear, those who are self-righteous are not prominent, those who are self-defeating are useless, and those who are self-conscious are not long". If you have the heart of the self, you will be blinded by the consciousness of the self and will not be able to understand the avenue. Ordinary people show pride and complacency, and rulers show arrogance and lasciviousness.
In the long run, there will be no growth, and there will be no further achievements.
Lao Tzu's emphasis on "success and prosperity" has an internal logical connection with self-seeing, self-being, self-cutting, and self-cultivation.
Let's write the original text of the twenty-four chapters first.
If the enterprise does not stand, the crosser will not work. Those who see themselves do not know, those who are self-righteous are not prominent, those who cut down themselves are useless, and those who are self-conscious are not long.
It is also in the Tao, and it is said that the surplus food is redundant, and the thing or evil is evil, so there is no place for those who have the Tao.
This chapter focuses on "surplus food."
Surplus food is excess food. When you have eaten enough, you have to eat again, which is leftovers. Redundant, redundant and cumbersome behavior. My understanding is that surplus food should be a continuous sentence. If you have to eat again after you have eaten enough, it will affect your actions.
According to the current parlance, it is to learn simplicity and giving.
It's easy to understand that simple living is more conducive to improvement. Everyone's time is fixed, and the more time they spend on their daily lives, the less time they have for "reading". There is more time for socializing, and less time for sitting alone and pondering. It's as simple as that.
Why do I read the Tao Te Ching a hundred times? Because it's always new.
In my daily life, I have learned to be simple and giving, and then I think deeply, what about the so-called knowledge in my mind that has affected me? Some so-called knowledge should also be learned. Only by clearing the knowledge that I have learned from elementary school day by day can we make room in my brain and store more useful knowledge.
This will be mentioned later in Lao Tzu's Tao Te Ching, which is "for the Tao to lose day by day".
When can you keep your brain in a state of emptiness, you have reached the "extreme emptiness" mentioned by Lao Tzu in the Tao Te Ching. When it reaches the state of causing the void, it will be realized that the view of refuge will be realized.
When you experience Guanfu, you will have the opportunity to realize the road of enlightenment.
