What is the Tao? This is a question that has been circulating in the minds of Chinese. In the process of searching for himself, people always carry such questions.
I don't know if it was fortunate or unfortunate, but unconsciously, from a certain moment on, I also became such a person. Every day I think about what is the Tao? How can the Word be seen? Some people say, "The Tao is around, and the Clarity can see the Tao." Maybe I am too stupid, and my virtue is not enough. For a long time, three years or five years, I can't remember clearly, and I always can't touch the edge of the road. As a last resort, I can only try to change my thinking. Instead of looking directly for the Tao, think about what it is to be. I didn't expect this change, and soon there was a harvest.
That early morning, I stood on the balcony, looking at the drizzle at my fingertips, and couldn't help but think of a sentence in the Tao Te Ching. "The good is like water, and the water is good for all things without dispute, so the near path is also"The nature of water is downward, no matter how you block it, it will flow low, and it will not be stopped. This is nature, no matter how the environment changes, the nature has never changed, and invariance is the characteristic of nature. Therefore, the rivers are gathered into rivers, and the rivers become seas; the nature of the tree is to absorb nutrients and grow towards the sun. So what is our nature as human beings? What is unchanged throughout our lives, this thing is our nature.
From the time we fall to the ground to the time we fall into the ground, eating has not changed, so eating is human nature; thinking, thinking, every moment of life is thinking, even if we are asleep, we are thinking in dreams, so thinking is also our nature. Apart from these two, do we human beings still have nature? I often ask myself, I dare not easily draw conclusions, is this really human nature? Will they be just the cloak of their true nature, a derivative of it? It wasn't until a few days later that I had the answer.
Yes, food and thought are derivatives of our true nature, which is only a product of the existence of life. If there is no life, food and thought will not exist. Life is the true nature and root cause of man. There is a fate side that has perception, a perception that will think, a measure of gain and loss, a hunger, and a food. The three complement each other, just like the three talents of heaven and earth, and the three talents have a rich and colorful world. Life, thought, and food are all three, and only then can we have a colorful life. If heaven, earth, and all things are the three great talents, then life, thought, and food are the three talents of the human body.
Life is human nature, and for me seeing life is like seeing the way.
