The world I care so much about is alive, and my silent heart is going to die, and life has two directions. The first is to change the world, and the second is to change the self.

Awakening

<h1>There are two directions to life. </h1>

<h1>The first is to change the world, and the second is to change the self. </h1>

Most of our lives come in the first direction. But in the process of changing the world, I found that I was eventually changed by the world. That is, the so-called human outlook on life is actually a worldview formed by the world.

Very few people can be maverick, either in the circle of life, or in the circle of habits, the circle of culture, the circle of society or the circle of faith, because they want to survive.

And in the process of this attachment. The qualities and functions of being human are more or less modified or removed. The so-called evolution or degeneration of human beings is a process of continuous change in the process of attachment.

I see the world we create more and more brilliant, more and more full of life. But I myself became more and more passive, more and more lifeless. The world I cared so much about was alive, and my silent heart was dying.

It is not the outer world that nurtures our minds, but the outer worlds that we nurture with our hearts. So the world is getting younger and we're getting older.

There is a famous saying that goes like this – as long as your heart is full of hope, you can endure any kind of life.

There are two forces in the world.

What changed the world? What changes the world is power.

What is changing your life? It is also power that changes lives.

But these are two different forces.

A tough and short-lived.

A soft and long-lasting.

The progress of society depends on whether it is driven by external forces or by internal forces in human beings. The purpose and outcome of the two are different.

External forces have promoted the progress of science and technology and the progress of society.

The inner force drives the progress of religion, the progress of ideas, the progress of culture.

But we are losing the inner power of the mind and becoming almost dependent on external forces to push everything. What we lose is our own source, the source of life.

We are replacing the beauty of the mind with external beauty.

We are replacing the power of the mind with external power.

We are replacing the happiness of the heart with external happiness.

We are replacing the civilization of the mind with the civilization of creation.

The most precious thing in life is not to have, but to experience.

It is not to cultivate flowers, it is fertile soil for nurturing the soul.

Possession is restraint, imprisonment, experience is openness, is growth.

Life seems to be a process of continuous possession and accumulation. In fact, it is also a process of continuous loss. Lose the enthusiasm for life, lose the perception of the heart, lose the awakening of the soul. When a person lives in a large, luxuriously furnished house, there is a sense of happiness. Thus feeling miserable about the little house that I had lived in before. What is it? This is the process of losing the perceptual ability of happiness in life. We are people who have lost their sense of happiness for coarse tea and light rice, coarse cloth and linen, sweat like water, and poverty and lack of poverty.

The essence of life is to teach you that you cannot turn back.

The future of habit is to teach you to lose your life.

Life is lived like this, and you get used to walking.

The mind is so comfortable that it is indifferent as it walks.

Once we lose the enthusiasm for life, we lose the perception of the mind. The so-called education, the so-called medical treatment, the so-called life will become cold and numb, everything will become a habit, become a step-by-step. It becomes a mechanical repetition.

When I began to understand all this. I spent the rest of my life slowly and long.

I want to enjoy coarse tea and light rice, and enjoy poverty like water. Enjoy the loneliness and solitude. Enjoy everything that was once considered painful. I no longer see all of this as pain, as suffering. And as a pleasure to live.
