The Tao Te Ching Yun: "Man's law and earth, earth law and heaven, heaven's law, heaven's law, and the way of nature." ”
Life is a practice, the road is simple, and only by going with nature can we live this life well.
1
Go with the flow and listen to your heart
My Confucian cultivation of the heart has not tasted things, and only going with the flow is naturally kung fu. --Wang Yangming
As a generation of saints who study the study of mind, Wang Yangming has always advocated "to the conscience", following the development law of nature, constantly adjusting the mentality, and unifying heaven, earth and man, so as to achieve the realm of going with nature.
Wang Yangming was born with Xiangyun, from a young age, he had no worries about food and clothing, wealth and glory, but this was not the life he wanted.
At the age of eleven, he aspired to make "reading to be a sage" the most important thing in his life. To achieve this ambition, he endured many tribulations.
First he was framed for his blunt writing, asking the emperor to punish the eunuchs, and not only had a staff forty, but also demoted him to Guizhou Yicheng ( Guizhou Yicheng ) .
Wang Yangming's encounter is painful, but he is calm and calm, and after experiencing all kinds of things, he can still go with the flow and not move his heart, which is enough to see how strong his heart is.
From being degraded to the Dragon Field Enlightenment, to the later struggle with "Cheng Zhuli Xue", he went with nature, did not violate his conscience, followed the laws of nature, and advanced step by step, finally making YangMingXinxue an academic theory respected by everyone.
It is precisely because Wang Yangming can listen to his heart, and everything that is not forced, everything goes with nature, and he has become a great sage who has been sought after by people for thousands of years.

Go with the flow, like water"
Knowing the water of Judah, the heart of the people knows everything, and the water of Judah is all down; and he who decides to do what is not, and whoever does not go down. --Wang Yangming
Our conscience is like water, flowing in accordance with the trend, which is to follow the laws of nature and reach the realm of "unity of knowledge and action".
I once saw such a small story:
There is a sharpshooter, gifted, first-class archery skills, can be described as "a hundred steps through the Yang", has always been worshipped by people.
His fame was so great that he alarmed the emperor of the dynasty, and the emperor came to see the style of the sharpshooter, and promised in public that if the sharpshooter could really walk through Yang in a hundred steps as everyone said, then he would be rewarded with gold and gold, and the glory and wealth would not be exhausted; but if he did not, he would have committed the crime of deceiving the king and would be killed!
At that time, the sharpshooter's heart was full of distractions, and his confidence once fell to the bottom, always thinking about what to do if he couldn't shoot? Then it will really be killed.
The more I thought about it, the more I couldn't concentrate, on the one hand, the temptation of glory and wealth, and on the other hand, the threat of being killed, so the sharpshooter lost his hand for the first time in history.
The sharpshooter in the story was originally amazingly skilled and recognized by the audience, but the reason why he lost his hand in front of the emperor was because he could not put aside all the consequences and let his mind go with the flow, and distractions occupied the will, thus evolving into such a result.
At any time, people should learn the characteristics of water, be able to "follow the square", calm down, and let the mind go closer to the conscience. Calm and calm, indifferent to fame and fortune, learn to bypass obstacles or cross obstacles, and face them naturally!

Life is short, everything goes with the flow
Everyone's life cannot be repeated, no one will be smooth sailing, and there will be bumps and setbacks. At this time, we need to learn to go with the flow.
Look up at others, envy others, do not know that they are also the scenery in the eyes of others. Every road is not in vain, and every experience is not a waste of time.
There is no such thing as not going over, only the mood of not being able to go.
Why is it that people in today's society are impetuous in their hearts, want to rush to achieve results, and reach a certain height, but it backfires and deviates from the way to success. In fact, many successful people can succeed because of their good mood.
Life is short, the world is impermanent, only by sticking to our hearts, going with the flow, and not being affected by the disturbances of the world, will we be calm and at ease for a lifetime.
Living in a natural way is not to live and live, to live a day, but to face everything in life rationally, as Lao Tzu said, "rule by doing nothing", not that the monarch does not govern the country, but does not interfere in political affairs too much, so that the people have more say.
True obedience is naturally something that is desired in the heart, but not limited to one's own desires, and can perfectly combine knowledge and action to obtain true happiness!
