Tao Te Ching Analysis
The whole world calls me big, and it seems that I am not good. The husband is only big, so it seems to be not shawl. Ruo Xiao, Jiu Yi Qi's fine husband. I have the Three Jewels, and I hold them. One is kindness, the other is thrifty, and the third is not daring to be the first in the world. Kindness can be courageous; frugality can be broad; do not dare to be the first in the world, so it can become a long instrument. Now give kindness and courage, give up thrift and breadth, give up later and first, and die. Fu Ci, with the war to win, with the code of solidity. Heaven will save them, and guard them with mercy.
People all over the world said to me, "The Tao is too big, and nothing seems to resemble it." It is precisely because the Tao is so great that it does not resemble anything, and if the Tao resembles something, then the Tao is too small.
I have three treasures that I have held, guarded, and kept with all my heart for a long time. The first treasure is love, the second treasure is thrift, and the third treasure is not daring to be in front of the people of the world. Only when a person has love can he be brave; only when he is frugal can he be generous; only when he is not in front of the people of the world can he become the ruler of all things in the world.
Now, if we give up love and be brave, if we give up thriftiness and be generous, if we give up decadence and compete for the first, we will die.
Love, used in combat to win, used in defense to consolidate defensive strength. When Heaven wants to save a man, he will surely care for him with love.
Buddhism has three treasures: Buddha, Dharma, and Sangha, Lao Tzu also has three treasures: love, frugality, and dare not be the first in the world, and there are also three treasures in Christianity: the Holy Father, the Holy Son, and the Holy Spirit. In this way, we may be able to understand better, because the tao of great wisdom is difficult to speak, but the obvious principles can be practiced and perceived.
The kind and benevolent people that Lao Tzu talked about, because they have a loving heart, can feel that they are in the same line with society and nature, so a sacred sense of mission will be stirred up in their hearts, and the troubles, sorrows, anxieties, and fears in their hearts will disappear with this great love of love, leaving only a sense of fearlessness that is sacred and understands everything.
Recently saw a story on the Internet, there is such a group, every day to share philosophical views, not for any fame and fortune, only for the pursuit of the truth of the faith in the heart, the group owner to do this thing is unintentional, just want to gather everyone, common progress, the original intention is benevolence, the existence of this group, but invisibly to a lot of group friends inspired, there are some deeply inspired group friends, spontaneously and autonomously will reward the group owner, share the group owner to open the group and bear the annual fee, this is the obvious love of the heart, the focus is on what you started to do this for?
Frugality, very well understood, thrift can only have savings, there are savings can be prepared for the expenses needed at home, to meet the material needs they need, to know that enough is easy to be happy, do not understand that enough can only improve their own ability, so that the ability and the mutual balance can be happy, in addition to the balance of ability and material as far as possible, so that the income is always greater than the expenditure, thrift can also refer to the consumption of the spirit, speech, behavior, time can be thrifty, because more words will be lost, more will be tired, the expression and the completion of the work, There is no need to be nosy, not only tired of yourself, but also delay the opportunity for others to grow, this is not a self-righteous good deed, in fact, it is a bad thing!
After, refers to the courage to put their own interests, as for the interests of others, it seems to be a loss, but if you know how to use the truth that is not in front of the world's people, you can become a commander-in-chief, to take a simple example, why Huawei, a high-tech enterprise that attaches importance to research and development, why should it pay attention to sales, and for sales commissions, bonuses, never cut the door, and even Huawei also encourages those who engage in research and development to do a good job in sales? What is this for, first of all, there is no sales, no buyers, where are the sellers, the production of any product only to sell has meaning, so you see can become bigger and stronger enterprises, which one is not to benefit everyone?
There is a friend around is engaged in IT, in addition to her own work, she will also contact some part-time projects in her spare time, as long as it is a part-time project introduced to her, each introducer she will give half of the profits to each other, I asked her you so hard code program, earn is a hard money, but also give so much profit to others Why, she said I do this, others will introduce more projects to me, so that I can do more projects ah... In fact, the reason is very simple, many people are obsessed with their own temporary gains and losses, and forget the greater returns.
The Tao spoken of in this chapter of Lao Tzu is actually the simplest way of doing things, born as a human being, knowing how to make profits, knowing how to benefit, knowing frugality, being pure and happy, knowing how to be loving, being heartless, and others will remember.
