If you have a house, at least more than 110 square meters, you haven't been there for a long time, and it's covered with dust. There are dust on the ground, cabinets, tables and chairs. These dusts are not accumulated by you in one or two days, but by a period of time. You start cleaning at this time (the sweeping here is a traditional hand-sweeping floor, not an vacuum cleaner, ). If you do not do it properly, you will find that the place you just cleaned will be dusty because you get the dust in the surrounding area, especially when you mop the floor with a mop. The water on your shoes will keep the floor you mopped over will be dirty. If you repeat this, it takes a long time to clean it, and you will get half the result with twice the effort. At this time, most people will be impatient and impatient. They will clean up the sanitation after thinking about it, but things often go against their wishes.
A floor covered with dust. After you drag it once, there is still dust on the ground. After dragging it twice, there will be dust on it. If you drag it at least three times, the dust will be basically clean. If you want to be very clean, you need at least four or more volatility. Few people are willing to do such a boring thing at once and repeatedly, and they all want to succeed at once, but they often forget that this ash is not deposited in one day, and it cannot be cleaned up in one go. Therefore, cleaning is both a patient job and a job that requires a thorough analysis of how to do it to be simple and fast. By cleaning, we can get rid of the impatient air on our body, let us calm down and mop the floor slowly, without thinking about any other opportunistic methods, because the ash on the ground will not be swept away by you because of your opportunity. The strength will be filled with ashes everywhere, and if it is small, it will not be swept away completely. You can only patiently follow the form of ashes and ground, and slowly sweep until the piece of floor is completely cleaned, and finally cleaned again, so that the ground can be completely clean.
The same is true for our practice. If we want to succeed, we cannot eliminate the obstacles in front of our careers. We should scan it in a program, where to start and where to scan the next step, we should all proceed in an orderly manner. The Sweeping Monk is not anxious to practice the worldly martial arts. First build the foundation, then practice the exercises, and finally the internal skills and mental methods are all procedures, so they are not anxious to do so. Our lack of ability and ignorance in practice are like dust on the ground, not caused by one or two years. If we want to make up for these abilities on the road to success, it is not something that can be achieved in one or two years. We must proceed slowly and in an orderly manner, no hurry or chaos! When we are completely immersed in the work of cleaning up dust in our own life, there is no world outside our hearts. A broom, a dustpan, and a ground is our world.
Only by focusing on one thing can one achieve one thing. If you know one thing, everything will be understood.
