Life is a practice. When you come to this world, you have to struggle a lot, and then you leave this world in a few decades. Although the time is short, you also taste the ups and downs of the world, which is very colorful. Although the person who passed away in the end Time cannot take away every flower or grass in the world, but the process of living actually has significant gains. No one’s life is in vain. We all come with the important task and significance of spiritual practice. They all help us continue to change, improve and grow along the way.
When you have nothing to ask for from this world, you will not suffer, and you will not be tired. The reason why you are suffering, tired, and troubled is because you want something from this world. When your true realm of life reaches If you don’t ask for anything, you won’t be tired. After the guidance of experts, I finally summarized my life into the four realms of and , which I will share with you today!
1. Natural realm
What is the natural realm? To put it simply, it is the realm of instinct, such as talking and eating, drinking and eating, relationships between men and women, hobbies, etc. You don’t need to be taught by others to do these things. It is an instinctive ability that people are born with, just like a newborn baby. He will cry when he is hungry, he will pull his collar when the weather is hot, and he will hide in his mother's arms when it is cold. This is a natural reaction and a natural instinct.
The natural state is generally especially evident in infancy and adolescence. During this period, people's thoughts and hearts are relatively simple and pure. They are also in a purely natural state, and are full of curiosity, light and beauty about the world. . Because during this period, children's lives mainly depend on their parents, so they will not worry about life or work, except studying and playing.
In such a natural environment, children will of course not have any worries. Even if they have a little learning trouble, they will soon forget it in two days, because children are naturally fond of playing, and everything will be fine as long as they play for a while. , so why do many people miss the carefree life of childhood when they grow up, because it is so fun, so interesting, so beautiful, and so happy.
When we are children, we are in the natural state, with pure thoughts, no burdens in life, and no excessive material pursuits. Of course, if we have nothing to ask for, we will have no worries. Of course, we are in a natural state of life.
2. The realm of utilitarianism
After people enter the society, they run around for life, the purpose is to earn money and fame. In order to eat and support the family, we have to pursue money, fame and fortune, so the utilitarian mentality naturally arises in our hearts.
You are a professor and I can use you. You are an official and I can use you. I will interact with you intentionally. In this process, whether you say it or not, it must be utilitarian. There is a utilitarian realm inside, so when we go out to work, survive and develop, we are all seeking utilitarianism, competing with each other, and seeking utilitarianism for ourselves. Therefore, people's hearts are complicated, and the social environment is complicated. Any place where there is work and business contacts is very dangerous and complicated.
Because of utilitarianism, people have become selfish. The first thing they think about is their own fundamental interests. When their own interests are damaged, many people do not care about human ethics and do shady things behind the scenes. Activities, profit-oriented and unscrupulous When Duan does things that are harmful to others and benefits himself, he plays all kinds of tricks, all kinds of traps and tricks, all kinds of intrigues, and all kinds of conspiracies, he will inevitably be plotted and stabbed in the back. In the final analysis, it is caused by utilitarianism. , the human heart becomes very complicated, and this is the realm of utilitarianism.
Of course, many people say: This can all be changed. Some people are too utilitarian and will play with fire and burn themselves. As long as they are not too greedy for utilitarianism, they will not live such a tiring and complicated life. In fact, utilitarianism is very important to us ordinary people. He said that everyone is very important, especially in this era, when the material living standard is so high, everything needs money to solve. At the critical moment, money has the final say. Those big principles and those big morals are of no use!
For example, if your child is sick and needs a lot of money, you can't come up with it yourself, and the hospital won't give you the money to treat it. It's even more impossible to rely on others. Everyone has a family, so it's impossible to spend all the money. To you, so ordinary people are affected by life and life Forced by this general environment, if we want to live and support our family, we have to work hard to make money. Of course, we are more utilitarian. Therefore, if we have not even passed the level of survival and material things, we should not talk about so-and-so. If you are too utilitarian, you only know how to make money and don’t know how to enjoy life.
If this is the case, you obviously don’t understand life. You will enjoy life. Everyone knows that enjoying life is the key. If you don’t work hard when you are young, what will you do to enjoy it in the future? So most of us people should not try to pull themselves up from the earth by their hair, because whether you become a monk or practice at home, it is a state. If your state is not reached, your feet cannot leave the ground. Cultivation is a kind of skill and a state. You are in the utilitarian state and have not yet entered the moral state.
3. Moral Realm
The so-called moral realm is what we call conscience. Can I do this business? Can this person teach? He is building a life based on morality as a coordinate. That realm is called the moral realm!
You will find that there are many outstanding leading cadres. When you get along with him, his determination, his leverage, his charm, and his state of consciousness are definitely higher than ordinary people. If he does not have that kind of Accumulation of knowledge and culture, without the framework of the three schools of "precepts, concentration, and wisdom", he cannot sit in that high position, because there are too many greedy, greedy, and greedy people in the world. I'm glad I had a good sleep today and said I wasn't fooled. When I opened my eyes, I thought I'd been fooled. Life is full of traps and pitfalls. This is a very real society, so it's very important for a person to enter a moral realm. It’s not easy, it’s already very difficult.
A person who has entered the moral realm has transcended the utilitarian mentality. All moral standards are used to measure a person's right and wrong, good and evil. Things that are in line with the way of heaven, laws of nature, and things that are in line with the interests of the public are good, otherwise everything is evil. level, utilitarianism It is the material level, and the moral heart is the spiritual level. A person must overcome the material level before he can enter the spiritual level. Otherwise, you cannot even solve the problem of food and clothing in material life. How can you talk about moral and spiritual cultivation? That is untenable. Damn it, a person can turn a good person into a bad person even if he is extremely poor in material life. This is the real society.
4. The realm of man and heaven
The realm of man and heaven is the unity of heaven and man. Heaven and man correspond to each other. I don’t need to read books. I don’t need to leave the house. I know everything in the world. That is the realm of heaven and man. That is what belongs to human beings. To develop all functions, we ordinary people, among the five desires of fame and wealth, only use 10% of the weight of our brains, and only use one-thousandth of the total amount of our spiritual wealth. , we completely use our limited electric energy on dressing, eating, and having children. Because of these four stages, you will find that after you learn it, you will really have a kind of wisdom and a kind of wisdom in you. Energy is a kind of energy that is fully activated by oneself. From the instinctive view of nature to values of life, to the world view and finally to the view of the universe, these are the four stages that everyone must go through.
Each stage has its own realm. The level of cultivation in each realm is different, just like playing a game to score points. The four major levels of life must be overcome. When you successfully pass the level, You are out of the game successfully, your mission is completed, and you can finally understand all the truth!
is like climbing a thousand-meter mountain. Only when you climb to the top can you see the whole mountain clearly. If you are halfway up the mountain, what you see will always be a corner of the mountain. Therefore, life is like playing games and climbing mountains. You must continue to be active. Push forward hard, constantly break through the difficulties and setbacks in front of you, challenge everything, overcome everything, and surpass everything. Only then can you stand at the top and successfully end this journey of the great road.
Summary
Life is an experience. The deeper you understand, the deeper your understanding and realm of life will be, the higher your wisdom and realm will be, and the height of life will reach the top. Of course, you still have to walk the road of life step by step. You have to complete it stage by stage. You must be down-to-earth. Never aim too high and put the cart before the horse. This will only make you fall worse. Finally, I wish all of us good luck in these four aspects of life. In the realm, achieve your goals as soon as possible and achieve true great liberation and freedom.
Life is a process of experiencing life, traveling, improving self-wisdom, and growing spiritual character!
