Fat Falcon Read Journey to the West No. 5: That heart is firmer after the experience of red dust

Continuing from the previous part, the Monkey King decided to go to sea immediately to pursue his dreams.

After the "farewell feast" and "departure banquet", the monkey king "climbed the raft alone, tried his best to prop up, fluttered, radial to the waves of the sea, took advantage of the wind, and came to cross the boundary of the Southern Ganbu Continent." ”

In just over three hundred words, the text describes the nine years of experience and experience in the "red dust" of Nan Ganbu Zhou.

Although there are not many words, the meaning is profound.

Those years of fluttering in the Southern Ganbu Continent

The monkey king made a raft of pine and a bamboo pole, prepared some fruits, and went out alone. This preparation is really not so complete.

However, it was lucky, "when it arrived, since the raft was climbed, the southeast wind was tight for several days", and God sent it to the "South Ganbu Continent Boundary".

After trying to the shallow water, he went ashore. I began to enter the "red dust" and deal with people.

After snatching other people's clothes and putting them on themselves, they began to "sway, wear state capitals, learn people's etiquette, and learn people's words" in the dust of the city.

However, time is long. Although he did not get a clue about eternal life, he found the laws of the world, "Seeing that all the people of the world are disciples who are called profits, and none of them are destined for their lives." ”

There are also some impressions:

When will the battle for fame and profit be suspended? Getting up early and sleeping late is not free!

Riding a donkey mule on a horse, the official residence is the prime minister to look at the prince.

If you only worry about food, clothing, and toil, why are you afraid that Yan Jun will take the hook?

The stepson Yin Sun Tu is rich, and none of them are willing to turn back!

After spending a few years in the Southern Ganbu Continent, the Monkey King felt that there was no chance or nostalgia, so he went out to sea again to find a way.

Why is the first stop after going to sea is Nan Ganbu Chau, and what is the meaning?

"Since climbing the raft, the southeast wind has been tight for several days", the Monkey King was sent to the South Ganbu Continent by the Lord of Heaven. The author must have had a layout in mind in this arrangement.

Nan Ganbu Zhou is one of the four major continents, is the location of the Tang Dynasty, is the book Rulai's heart", "but the Southern Ganbu Zhou, greedy and happy, more killing and fighting, just the so-called tongue murder field, is not the evil sea" is the sphere of influence of the competition, and then later, it is the main consideration of the entire sutra taking project.

At the same time, it may also represent the red dust in the author's heart, or the objective reality that the author thinks of him.

Although this red dust does not have the strange power to chaos the gods to do evil and brutally slaughter, for the monkey king who has just emerged from the "Dao Heart", these worldly people, things, things, concepts, ethics, and values are another level for tempering the "heart".

Dressed, "learn the etiquette, learn the words", grinding in the red dust.

In the beginning, things in the outside world were fresh and unseen, how could it be "heartless". It is like a child who has just left school and entered society, who is easily seduced, attracted, and deceived by all kinds of fame or profit.

Only after a long period of experience, and then seeking their original intentions, did they find that these were completely inferior to the sublime they were pursuing. After several internal struggles, Fang has the taste of growth and maturity.

The "heart" is firm and firm, not burdened and moved by external things, in order to pass the red dust barrier and enter the next realm.

This is also confirmed in the book. At the end of the first time, when the Monkey King first saw Master Subhuti, he said, "I am asexual. If anyone scolds me, I am not annoyed, and if he beats me, I am not angry, but just a courtesy. Asexual all your life. ”

Without the experience of Nan Ganbu Zhou in the past few years, how could the Monkey King, who had just sat on the throne, have such an enlightenment.

On the question "When is the fight for fame and profit?" Getting up early and sleeping late is not free! Riding a donkey mule on a horse, the official residence is the prime minister to look at the prince. If you only worry about food, clothing, and toil, why are you afraid that Yan Jun will take the hook? The stepson Yin Sun Tu is rich, and none of them are willing to turn back! "The feeling

After a few years, the Monkey King saw clearly that "all the people of the world are those who are known as profiteers, and there is no one who lives for their lives." Of course, this is also what the author thought and realized at that time.

When I first saw this passage, I remembered the "Twenty-first History Bullet Words" made by Yang Shen after he was frustrated in the official field, and I remembered the "good song" in "Dream of the Red Chamber".

There is also "the world is bustling, all for the benefit of the people; The whole world is in the midst of profit. ”

Depending on the level and realm, there will be differences in the understanding of objective things.

When you read this, will you want to fat falcon and pretend to be × and talk about the big truth that you don't understand? I'm just a regular reader, an ordinary person, talking about feelings.

The biggest feeling is: about fame and fortune, it is not to say that we should look down on fame and fortune and let go of fame and fortune, but to face up to fame and fortune and look at fame and fortune equally.

Man has desires, this is human nature. At the same time, "the essence of man is the sum of all social relations", and man is also responsible.

Transcending human nature, transcending responsibility, and talking about looking down on fame and fortune and letting go of fame and fortune may not be the consciousness of ordinary people.

Xuan Yongguang said, "No wealth is coming, all are humble men; no color, all are righteous people; no danger, all heroes; no bones, all good dogs." ”

Put your mouth down, but your heart can't put it down.

Some people also say that if they have not picked it up, let alone put it down.

In "In the Name of the People", Gao Yuliang is in a high position of authority, although he copied "Good Song" by hand and often recited it, but he could not escape the law in "Good Song".

Even if you pick it up, can you put it down when you say you put it down?

If you can't escape, why hide? Without it, it doesn't exist?

To defeat a thing, not to be constrained, tempted, controlled, and defeated by it, we must face it squarely, analyze it comprehensively and systematically, look at it head-on, and boost morale to overcome it.

As Wang Yangming said, "Practice in a matter." We must constantly temper our hearts in the face of ill-gotten gains, floating fame and small profits, and even in the title of the gold list and the success of success.

If you practice more, you will be able to be fearless, fearless, unmoved, and not tempted to a certain extent.

Over time, the vision will not only be the word "fame and fortune", but also the area covered by the word "fame and fortune", and then it will be as little as possible to be held back by the use of the word fame and fortune.
