Lesson Seventy-Five: Easy to know
My words are easy to know, very easy to do. The world can not know, can not do. Words have sects, and things have kings. Ignorance is based on ignorance. Those who know me are rare, then we are precious. It is to be a saint who is browned with jade.
To do things is to have an opinion. People who are well cultivated in the monastic path are very assertive in their work. Where does the opinion come from? From the Tao Te Ching. The Tao Te Ching is a book that teaches us how to behave as human beings. People who are well cultivated and morally cultivated have a copy of the Tao Te Ching in their hearts, and when they encounter things, they will naturally do it accordingly. The Tao Te Ching is their main opinion.
We can't be ambiguous, hesitant, and make up our minds. But everyone has their own ideas, and they all think they're right. But these ideas are not necessarily objective. When our ideas are inconsistent with the objective, we will fail to do things, and the Tao Te Ching reflects the objective facts, and if we do it, we can do things well.
Many times we also know what to do according to the Tao Te Ching, but when we encounter things, we have to do it according to our own thoughts, and when things fail, we will reflect on ourselves. Maybe that's one of the processes we're slowly revising ourselves. Don't hit the south wall and don't look back, your head hurts, you have a long memory, and you will know what to do later.
