The work of learning, inquiry, thinking, discernment, and practice, although it is difficult for a person to do it for himself, and the extreme expansion is so great that he knows the heavens to the fullest, it is only to the conscience of my heart.
Hatsukai
The kung fu of learning, asking, thinking, discernment, and practice, people with mediocre talents pay a hundred times the efforts of others, and do their kung fu to the extreme, so that they know the destiny of heaven to the best of their human nature, and it is just the conscience of their own hearts.
Pot Tianshan people interpret
In the final analysis, Confucianism's self-cultivation is to invent conscience, that is, to "conscience". After the invention of conscience, if we think, speak, and act in full accordance with our conscience, we will be able to fulfill our humanity and know the destiny of heaven.
The reason why Mr. Yang Ming said that "hardship is so difficult that people can do it for themselves" is to tell his disciples that in the kung fu of "conscience", although different people are based on the advantages and disadvantages of their talents, how many differences, and there are differences in the speed of seeing the Tao, the final destination is the same, and the final result is also the same. Therefore, there is no need for everyone to doubt themselves, even if they are not talented, as long as they study diligently and work hard, they can achieve the goal of conscience.
