"Zhuangzi Getaway" No. 6: Awakening from the illusion of life, these 3 words are the fundamental

In the last issue of the article on the three-level realm of man, some friends said that this standard is too high, and there are few who have reached the second realm, so isn't it the same as everyone, all at the lowest level.

According to the textual interpretation of Zhuangzi, this is indeed the case.

In reality, people are divided into three, six, nine, and so on, with large officials and small officials, and more money and less money, but in Zhuangzi's view, as long as a person is not enlightened and is still living in the illusion of the senses, then no matter what status, status, and wealth you have, in the eyes of people of high dimensions, they are all the same, they are all dreamers.

So the main purpose of "The Getaway" is to let us awaken from the illusion, start from the inner space, and elevate life to a higher dimension.

At the end of the article, Zhuangzi of course wants to give a conclusion: how can we reach the realm of "getaway"?

On this important occasion, Zhuangzi's old friend Keiko appeared.

Keiko is a representative of the famous family. The so-called "masters" are those who study the concept and logic of this set of knowledge.

Huizi's thinking and eloquence were all first-class at that time, otherwise he would not have been the minister of state of Wei, and because of this, Zhuangzi liked to practice his mouth the most, and the old brothers began to hate each other when they were fine.

This time, Keiko first said something, saying that the King of Wei gave him a gourd seed, and he planted a giant gourd, how big is this gourd? "Solid five stones", the weight is about 600 pounds, how big is this?

Keiko was worried, such a big gourd could not be used, and she could not hold it. So there was no way but to smash it.

As soon as Zhuangzi heard this, he said, "The master is stubborn in using big things", you are too a person to use big things. Then he told a story:

There is a family in the Song Dynasty, which has been rinsing silk for generations, rinsing silk wool, and soaking in water for many years, especially hurting hands, especially in winter.

Fortunately, they have a secret recipe for making anti-cracking drugs, which are very effective.

When a man heard about it, he bid a hundred gold to buy this secret recipe, and the family could not resist the temptation of hundred gold and agreed.

After this person got the prescription, he went directly to the king of Wu, and it was winter, and the king of Wu sent this person to lead the army to fight a water battle with the yue country, and with this medicine that did not crack his hands, the result was a great victory for the Wu army, and the king of Wu was very happy, so he rewarded this person with a lot of land and property.

It can be seen that the same secret recipe can be of little or great use.

After the story was finished, Zhuangzi said Toukiko, you have such a big gourd, how rare, actually think it is too big, you will not make it into a waist boat, floating on the rivers and lakes? You are such a "puffy heart", so stupid!

Keiko was scolded, of course, and refused to give up. He also said that I had a big tree called "Fan" (樗). This kind of tree, bloated and unruly, with its curly branches, grows on the side of the road, and the carpenters do not pay attention to it.

Now your words, like this tree, are so big and useless that no one will believe you.

Zhuangzi said, have you not seen wild cats and weasels? In order to prey on small animals, one will lean down, the other will jump up and down, and as a result, he often steps on the hunter's organ and dies. And the ox, a cloud big enough to cover the sky, has great ability, but cannot catch rats. Now that you have a big tree and worry that it is useless, why not plant it in the "land of nothingness, the wilderness of the vast", so that you can walk or lie down under the tree, how leisurely, and such a tree will not suffer from axes or insects, it seems useless, and what is the disaster?

The point is, what is the "land of nothing"?

"The land of nothing", where is there such a place in the world?

In fact, Zhuangzi still describes the inner spiritual world.

"Nothingness", a state of mind that is unencumbered and naturally ethereal, a realm that has transcended the small and big, right and wrong, good and bad, and noble realm in the human world.

Kun must have the sea, Peng must have the wind, it is not a real "getaway", only to reach the realm of "nothing", is the real "getaway".

This realm is a bit like the famous song of the Six Ancestors of Zen Buddhism said:

"Bodhi has no tree, nor is spiegel a platform. There was nothing in the original, where to stir up dust."

This is a realm in which consciousness evolves to a higher dimension, which is generally called the "transformation realm", and when it comes to the cultivation behavior of Lao Zhuang, it can "be with the light and dust" and freely enter and exit the transformation realm.

"The Getaway" is finished here, to summarize:

The whole text can be divided into three parts: one is the "small and big debate", the second is the "three-level realm of man", and the third is "nothing".

Zhuangzi first pointed out to us one by one:

This is the small realm, this is the big realm, this is the sleeping person, this is the half-asleep and half-awake person, this is the true enlightened person, that is, the "God man", and the god man's realm is the "getaway". So how to reach the realm of "getaway"! The conclusion is three words " nothing " .

"Nothing" seems mysterious, in fact, we can experience every day, very simple, give yourself 10 minutes of time, is to sit silly, do nothing, do nothing, do not want to, see what you experience? (Just a quiz, I'm afraid it's not as easy as you think)
