If you can't do it, you should ask for yourself

"If you can't do something, you should ask for yourself." Often used as a motto for people.

It doesn't matter where it comes from, it doesn't matter who said it. Before looking at any explanation, we can have our own understanding.

The first is sentence breaking, or word breaking. It doesn't have to be the way it is, or the way most people are used to. Because, the vast majority of people are upside down, and the truth is accessible to only a very few.

There are two ways to break sentences in my case.

The first type of sentence is, "Yes, yes, no, but instead, you ask for yourself." ”

Walk, that is, the heart walk. Because all the so-called deeds are in fact nothing more than deeds of the heart.

The Buddha said, "The impermanence of all actions is the law of birth and destruction." ”

The impermanence of all actions means that there is no one mind/dharma action that can be immutable, so it cannot be obtained. That is, the so-called, "the heart was unattainable in the past, the heart is unattainable now, and the heart cannot be attained in the future." This is "all deeds, not obtained".

In the same way, everything that is in the sense of what ordinary people think is truly self-contained and self-natured, is not actually attainable. In fact, everything that ordinary people think is real is not really self-existent, nor is it really self-natured. Often, what people think they have, if you look closely, you can find that you don't actually have it, and you can't have it.

For example, do you have a child, a year old, a 10-year-old, or a 30-year-old, or a present? At most, you just keep believing in the "I have my baby" story in your head. And you can't possibly have this story.

In the same way, you can't actually own your husband, you can't have your money, your looks, even your job, your abilities......

You can't really own your body – you see he/she is getting old all the time, you can't really have a feeling, you can't have the thoughts in your head, you can't have your heart as you think you are.

Even, you can't really have a "birth", you can't have aging, you can't even have death.

Any "possession" or any "about what" is an illusion, a separate story of the mind, which also means that you can't really lose or lose anything in relative terms, and the same goes for anything about "nothing".

"No" is another form of being. "Loss/loss" is another form of "possession".

Having and not being, relative to oneself, are all false differences. Reality is not in being or not being;

The Buddha said, "All dharmas have no self, they are the laws of birth and destruction." This is "all things that cannot be obtained."

If you can't do it, you should ask for yourself

It is precisely because of the experience that I have realized that "yes, yes, no", so "reverse seeking", from asking for something, and vice versa. From the heart that has sought and climbed, there is a reversal, a return, "to the (all) self" - to the true self.

The "self" here is different from the "me". The vast majority of people usually take the desire to seek and take as their own nature, thinking that it is me. That's a vain mind-like ego. And "self" refers to the true self. The true self has no self, that is, no self. Therefore, Zhuangzi said, "To others there is no self".

It is precisely because of the realization that "yes, yes, no", so I reversed from what I wanted and returned. Coming back from that mental action, that is, coming back from thoughts, coming to awareness, coming to contemplation.

Further, the same as in the flashback, I realized that after all, there is nothing to gain. And this is nothing but nothing. This "unattainable" transcends the being and the non-being, the transcendent and the relative, the birth and the perishable.

Because I realized that it was unattainable, I got a supreme security. This kind of unhindered freedom is our original nature.

At this point, it is no longer the Dharma of birth and death, here it is non-birth and non-destruction, that is, the permanent true heart and pure clear body. In this case, it is "constant, happy, me, pure".

Then we will find out: everything works very well on its own. Everything has its own cause. The real me is just like being obeyed and lived!

So, in the end, come to your true self – "to yourself." ”

The second type of sentence break. It can be "yes, but there is no way, and the opposite is for yourself." ”

"Okay, no." In terms of heart and action, I unconsciously acquiesce that there is still something lacking and something that cannot be done, and I always feel that there is something missing, and there is still something missing. That is, there is always a sense of scarcity or loss. Therefore, I always feel that my heart is unwilling, and I always have to keep grasping it, always climbing outward, and constantly strengthening this climbing mind as my own nature.

People like this have a problem in their hearts. His/her life is not going to be really happy. Even if you are relaxed and happy once in a while, it will bring greater loss, greater deprivation, and emptiness...... Because he/she is always born in the mind, lives in the story, and doesn't know what the real self is.

Of course, there can be a third type of sentence break, or even a fourth or fifth type......

Everyone can interpret it in their own way – from their own experience and understanding.

The first type of broken sentence is the main one here, so I will not repeat it.

We go deep into our lives, understand them tacitly, and finally live out our own experiences and understandings. In this way, the name of the square is really useful, and it is really realistic.
