Now, let's focus on humility. Humility is not specifically addressed to people, there is humility in the whole universe. Humility is the state of the universe, and man is only one of the universes, and he must conform to this state. Therefore, the I Ching begins by speaking of the state of humility between heaven and earth, but does not speak of man. "The heavenly way is profitable and humble, and the authentic road becomes profitable and humble", first talk about the state of humility between heaven and earth.

To understand the truth of life, it is important to first understand where life comes from. We thought we were born to our parents, to our mothers. If I ask you, where did you come from? You say, Mom was born. Ask you again, where did Mom come from? That mother's mother was born. Where did Mom's Mom come from? Mom's mom's mom was born. Where did the first mom come from? If you read at this time, if you read it wrong, then you are in trouble. Darwin tells you that monkeys have changed. Then you will have to sacrifice monkeys in the future. Therefore, reading must not be misread. The Disciple Rules make it very clear, "If it is not a holy book, don't look at it." Hide smart, bad intentions. Read the book of the sages, otherwise don't read it. When you look at the beginning of the "Disciple Rules", you are told, "Disciple Rules, Saints' Training", first of all, it is explained that the nature of this book is the classic of the sages, then you can read it with confidence.

I used to have a lot of books, not 10,000 but more than 9,000, and I gave them away. You say that a reader who gives away all the books he likes, if he doesn't understand a truth and doesn't have a confidence, he can't do this thing. I finally understood one thing: instead of reading 100 books once, it is better to read a book 100 times. Only by reading the book repeatedly and reading deeply can we read a deeper and more accurate meaning. Since then, books have been given away, only to read the classics.

Which classic do I remember reading at that time? "University" and "The Mean"! How to read the Fa? Quite simply, you can do that, and that's chanting. I read "University" for about seven minutes, and it wasn't much, 2,000 words. Recite The Mean once, 12 minutes. I got up in the morning to read "University" and in the evening to read "The Mean." I read for 19 minutes a day. It's not like you think I love to read, I don't love to read, or I read, 19 minutes a day. We are entrepreneurs, you want to work, where do you have so much time to study? You recite! But how am I different from everyone else? I read it every day for two years. After two years, I was able to read "The University" and "The Mean" on my own, and I didn't read its annotations at all. I can talk about "The Mean" and "University." Read the book a hundred times, and its righteousness will be self-evident. I confirmed this statement, and it is the truth.

Why read it a hundred times to understand it? The difference between a saint and an ordinary man is in the way of knowing. Saints use intuition, mortals use thoughts. The saint wrote down what he saw in a state of intuition and became a classic. The intuition of the saints, if you read it with thought, you will never understand it. Why? Not at a frequency. If you want to read the sage's things, simple, he uses intuition, and you use intuition. It's kind of like something? When we come to Beijing, everyone listens to the program of Beijing People's Radio, it is very simple, adjust your semiconductor, FM to Beijing People's Radio, you will receive the program immediately. Tune your thoughts to your intuition, and you'll immediately understand what the saint saw intuitively. Recitation is precisely intuition. There is no secret to recitation, just one, and the pronunciation of the words should be pronounced accurately. The text must be uniform and cannot be broken. Don't think about it when you can't read it. When I read it, I realized, it's really good, do you want to think about it? Don't think about it either. Read it, read it, read it! Read it wrong, read on! It doesn't matter if it's right or wrong. As soon as there is a pause, immediately thinking, without pausing is called intuition. Thinking is not aware, and thinking is not thinking, this principle.

Train your intuition for a long time, and by that time, it's not the content that comes out, it's your intuition that comes up. Your intuition comes up, and you can read what people are writing in a state of intuition. It's that simple, and it's not tiring, it's easy! Recitation is very nourishing and refreshing, so if you feel bored and tired, don't think about it, just recite it directly, and immediately feel at peace. I will tell you again that recitation is a very important method of my psychotherapy. Any kind of psychological problem, as long as he reads it, he can solve it. Why? All psychological problems come from thinking, and if you don't think about it, there will be no problem immediately.

You know why I solved the problem so quickly. Simple! Where did it come from? I didn't explore it. "The University" makes it very clear, "Knowing and then being determined, being still and then being able to be quiet, being quiet and then being able to be at peace, being able to be at peace and then being able to worry, and being able to worry and then being able to get." "What is stopping? Stop thinking. Without thinking about it, there is an intuition immediately. Intuition is the most relaxed, intuition is the most spiritual, intuition is the most energetic. Therefore, in these five days, if you don't understand my words, it is not a loss, but as long as you do one thing and understand one thing, it is to recite. When you go home and read it, you grasp an important way to read the scriptures. This method can accompany you throughout your life and read the truth from the scriptures. That's it! Why tell you about it? It is nothing more than to arouse everyone's interest in reading. If I don't want to talk about it, how do you know that the classics are so fun? To read it this way would be very relaxing and enjoyable. When you go home and you recite it, you recite the Four Precepts of the Four Precepts 300 times, and you can speak the Four Precepts of the Four Precepts. It's that simple.

I was because before I talked about the Four Precepts of The Four Precepts, I spent a year reciting the Four Precepts of the Mortals every day, and I just shared the experience of reading them with everyone. You have to read for a year, 365 days, and you can share 365 insights. Simple!

Between heaven and earth, things will be reversed. The most important thing to learn is to know what to ask for, and the second is to know how to ask. The I Ching tells us about the origin of life. Where did life come from? "Easy to have tai chi, is to give birth to two instruments, two instruments to give birth to four elephants, four elephants to give birth to gossip, and bagua to be auspicious." Where does life come from? From easy to come. This "easy", you look at it from the oracle, the top is a "day", the bottom is a "month". What you are talking about is that it was born of the sun, moon, and heaven.

Where did people come from? Born of heaven and earth. Lao Tzu speaks more simply in the Tao Te Ching. Where do people come from? It is not the monkey that has changed, "the Tao gives birth to one, life two, two births to three, three births to all things" changed. How did it change? "One yin and one yang is the Tao". Then this place talks about "the heavenly path is profitable and humble, and the authentic road becomes profitable and humble", and the heavens and the earth are talking about yin and yang. Then this yang refers to the heavens.

"Heavenly Tao loses profit and benefits modesty", this "profit" means full. What's full and it's full? The water tank is full of ying, and the greed of people is called ying, full! After it is full, there will be a phenomenon, it will not become more and more full, it will develop in the direction of more and more lack, that is, it is a loss. Where is the loss? "The way of heaven is profitable and humble", and went to the place of humility.

"Modesty" is modest humility, but there is another meaning of lack. Zeng Guofan gave his study a number. What's it called? Pray for a lack of fasting! To seek a lack of fasting is to seek humility. As long as a person has a heart of owing and a heart of lack, this person will not be arrogant. Therefore, the way of heaven is profitable and humble. As soon as people are full, as soon as people are proud, they will immediately lose and will be lacking. Everyone looks at the noon sun, full, it will not get more and more full. The sun passed to the west, and after reaching the middle, it was biased to the west, getting weaker and weaker, and finally the sun was gone. Tell us, never be proud, a pride will be lost immediately, a pride will be lost immediately. Therefore, "full of losses" is what it means. This is the law of nature. Heaven and earth also operate according to this law.

In the same way, "the tunnel becomes rich and humble". The earth is yin. For example, the night is dark, and the night is cloudy. When the night is very dark, it will not continue to darken, and it will immediately turn to daytime. Therefore, the sunshine is always after the wind and rain, and after success, it is a failure, which is the truth. One must not be proud.

"It is one of the old modest ones, and the six are all auspicious." By the time of the fifteenth trigram of the I Ching, none of the six roots of the I Ching is evil or perfect. Tell us very clearly that only by being humble can we complete our lives and be blessed with five blessings.
