"Transmission and Practice": "Knowing is the essence of the heart, and the heart will naturally know: see the father naturally know filial piety, see the brother naturally know the brother, see the widow enter the well, naturally know compassion, this is conscience, do not ask for anything."
Everyone is born with a sincere and pure heart, and this heart is conscience. Conscience has a magical function, that is, the ability to automatically solve the appearance of the external world.
When the pure essence of conscience is attached to the "father", the mental state of mind will very automatically complete the grasping of the "father" phase, and then melt it into invisibility.
This melting process is called "filial piety", because of "filial piety", so the relationship between father and son can always follow the direction of "heavenly reason" to develop, without confusion. Because of the popularity of Tianli, there is originally a distinction between priority and priority.
In the same way, when conscience is triggered above the appearance of brothers and children, it is natural to respect brothers and elders and pity children. Such instinctive reactions of conscience can be achieved without the help of acquired external learning and training, so it is "not false and external" to ask for it.
However, the selfish desires of mortals are excessive, and these desires drag the conscience back, preventing it from really exerting its original power. Therefore, it is necessary to reactivate this ability in a certain way, which is the "grid object" often mentioned in the way of self-cultivation and family, prudence.
The article is very difficult to understand, and it is right to read it.
