Recently, I came across a passage that made me quite enlightened.

What the body can reach, there is no end;

What the heart can reach, there is no end.

The world can be seen with the eyes, chaotic like hemp,

If felt with the heart, it is as calm as water.

means: For people, there is an end to where the body can reach, but there is no end to what the mind and spirit can reach. If you only look at the outside world with your eyes, it will be chaotic and clueless; if you feel it with your heart, you will be as stable and calm as water, and you can see the inner connections of things.

In my opinion, a 26-word paragraph has 4 words for theme: existence, non-being, chaos, and tranquility, 2 words for carrier: body and mind, and 3 words for method: cultivation, enlightenment, and awakening.

In fact, life seems complicated, but in fact it is simple. Grasp the fundamentals and you will live out yourself. Without self, there would be no prajna , and there would be no talk of this shore and the other shore.

I am a mixture of body and mind. When I am the big self, my body and mind are united, I am bright and as calm as water; when I am the small self, my body and mind are separated, I am lost, and I am as chaotic as numbness.

I couldn’t help but think of a passage in The Way of Heaven: Cultivation is to control one’s nature, enlightenment is to control one’s nature, one who is enlightened develops laws from his heart, and one who practices is to control his heart with laws.

Therefore: Only by cultivating first, reaching enlightenment, and then awakening can you have an infinite mind, only then will you be blessed, and only then will you be able to have no limit.

Therefore: when you look at mountains, they are mountains; when you look at water, they are water. Looking at mountains is not mountains, looking at water is not water. Look at mountains as mountains, water as water.

puts it clearly: there is life in mountains and rivers.
