Poem says: There is no heart and no ruthlessness, and there is no self and no one. The silent and motionless place is touched and the time is clear.
people are emotional advanced creatures. People’s feelings mainly include family, friendship and love. In the previous article, I have already talked about the saint's attitude towards love. Today, I want to talk to you about the saints’ attitude towards family and friendship.
For ordinary people, family affection, friendship and love are the basic feelings of people living in the world. If a person leaves family, friendship and love, even if he barely lives, he will feel that his life is dull and his future is dark. So we see that after the violent earthquake that was rare in Wenchuan, Sichuan, many people suffered devastating blows due to the loss of relatives, friends and lovers, and even had the idea of not wanting to survive.
However, saints are special people with unique ideas. In the previous article, I mentioned that after a saint realizes the truth, he will first give up love and choose to live a single life. Therefore, the saints do not consider their love life. However, although love can certainly be given up, how can family and friendship be given up? Saints are human beings too! He was also born by his parents. From childhood to adulthood, saints have grown up day by day under the careful care of their parents. How can we give up the affection of our parents? In addition, the saints will have many partners, classmates and friends from childhood to adulthood. How can we give up these innocent friendships?
However, among the three major human feelings, the most difficult thing to give up is love. If a person can let go of love and be alone, then he will definitely be able to let go of family and friendship. Since the saint has realized the truth and realized the nature, the first thing he considers is to give up love. Then what I consider is to give up family and friendship. So, the saint eventually became a person who did not care about emotions.
When you see this, you may be very dissatisfied with your state of mind. How can a saint be called a person who does not care about emotions? A saint should be a kind-hearted person who values affection and righteousness!
Mindness, I want to say, don’t worry first. When Master Huineng was about to pass away, he once told his disciples not to cry sadly. However, after everyone followed the ancestor for a long time, they really could not give up the relationship between master and disciple. So everyone started crying. Only the gods looked calm and had no reaction. So the Sixth Patriarch praised him very much and told everyone that you should learn from the God Learning , because he has reached the state of immobile emotion, which is amazing. From this we can see that the saint is a person who is unmoved and emotional.
However, in the understanding of ordinary people, it is often either black or white, either this or that. If a person is not moved by feelings for his relatives, friends, or lovers, he will be considered selfish and will only be selfish in his eyes, and he will not even care about relatives, friends, wives and children. In fact, this is just a prejudice of ordinary people. The saint's immovable feelings and non-concerns about feelings are completely different from the fact that some people do not talk about feelings for selfishness.
After the saint realizes the truth and sees the nature, his mind is empty and selfless, and his mind cannot stay in all appearances. Therefore, the saints treat all people equally. The saints have the same attitude towards acquaintances and strangers. The saints have the same attitude towards themselves and others. Therefore, the saint's immovable emotions and unfeeling emotions are the embodiment of the saint's selfless and bright self-nature. A saint is a person who compassionates with all things. His own wisdom shines through the world, and he likes to benefit everyone, not just a few people around him.
The ancients said that the way of the great way is the public. A saint is a person who has realized the truth and realized the nature, and he follows the innate way. Family, friendship, and love are essentially personal feelings and are manifestations of people's selfishness. Ordinary people are ordinary people. Their selfishness is naturally formed and it is difficult to let go for a while, so they attach great importance to family, friendship and love. It is precisely because the thoughts of saints are often very different from ordinary people that saints are actually very unpopular among ordinary people. Everyone always thinks that saints are a strange and elusive person. Unfortunately, although there are many people with strange tempers in society, they are basically ordinary people. Therefore, saints are extremely rare and rare special characters.
