In fact, it advocates taking retreat as progress, following the growth law of all natural things, and letting the nature of things develop and spread. Of course, some people think that this is a hypocritical behavior and a strategy to achieve a certain goal. Take a step back in the course of the incident to go further. This statement is understandable. And many times, this view has indeed achieved such a goal.
Just like when we climb a steep slope or a high ditch, we often stop, take a step or two back, adjust our breath, and then gather all our strength and sprint hard, so that we can often cross this obstacle and move forward smoothly. There are often such examples in life. You have been trying to achieve a certain goal, but you have fallen into a dead end. On the contrary, you can easily cross it.
"If you want it, you will be solid; If you want to be weak, you must be strong; If it is to be abolished, it must be consolidated; If you want to take it away, you must repair it! " This is also the case. When you are too eager for something and want to achieve something, you might as well shrink back, abandon too extreme thoughts and adopt relatively moderate thoughts and measures, which will have good results.
"The sky will descend to Sri Lanka, and the sky will descend to Sri Lanka, so people must first suffer their minds, their bones and muscles, their bodies, their bodies, and their actions." Therefore, if God wants to put a heavy responsibility on a person, he must first make his heart ache, make his bones and muscles tired, make him suffer from hunger, make his skin emaciated, make him suffer from poverty, and disrupt the actions that people have begun. This should also be the result of the operation of a natural law.
In the Five Dynasties, a cloth-bag monk once wrote a famous poem named "Poetry of Transplanting Rice", which said: "When you put your hand in a field with green seedlings, you can see the water in the sky with your head down, and six clean roots become the Tao, and retrogression turns out to be progress." When transplanting rice seedlings in rice fields, the seedlings have been planted upside down with their heads down, and the blue sky and white clouds are clearly reflected on the water. The body and mind are not disturbed by the outside world, but the seedlings are inserted well and quickly. Life is the same. When things go wrong, you might as well be down-to-earth, don't be discouraged and don't back down, stick to inner peace and be yourself.
"Caigen Tan" also has this theory: let the world step higher, and retrogression is the foundation of progress. Know yourself clearly and keep your mind clean. Return when it is time to return, and enter when it is time to enter.
(I suddenly remembered a sentence that was not very harmonious. This passage is hard to write, and there is not much natural income. Sometimes I comfort myself. At least I insist on more and more. Inadvertently see the list of assets, only to find that the ranking of assets is often lower. I didn't understand at the beginning, why would I flinch if I got something?
Then laugh at yourself, you think you haven't made much progress. When everyone is striding forward, it is actually a state of stagnation or a state of retrogression. You can't delude yourself that this is also a kind of retirement, can you? Do your best and let nature take its course. )
