The highest state of life: alone!

people are lost because they are gregarious and noble because they are lonely.

as Zhuangzi said in forgiveness, "to be alone is to be unique." The unique person is said to be the most expensive. "

after half of my life, I have seen all the bustle, experienced the hustle and bustle, and just had an epiphany. Loneliness is not only the norm of life, but also a rare practice.

the highest state of life is to be alone in middle age.

01

to be alone

alone

is a Qinghuan.

when one is alone, one can get rid of distractions, clear the mind, and thus generate inspiration.

Yu Boya studied piano skills with Master for three years and wanted to improve, but he couldn't break through himself.

Master said to him, "I have nothing to teach you. I will take you to see my master Zichun. Ask him for advice."

so Master took Yu Boya to a valley and asked him to wait here and come on his own.

however, Master did not come back for several days.

Yu Boya is alone in the valley, with green mountains and green waters as companions, picking wild fruits as food, and making friends with flowers, plants, insects and birds.

the heart is very quiet, inspiration emerges like a spring, and he has created masterpieces such as "High Mountains and flowing Water" /"Narcissus exercises".

when Master came back, she was overjoyed and said, "it seems you don't have to visit the teacher."

Chapter 45 of the Book of morality says: "stillness is better than dryness, cold is better than heat. Peace and tranquility is the justice of the world. "

quiet is better than noise, cold is better than heat. Only when you have peace of mind and clear thoughts can you see the origin of the road.

in the second half of life, you don't have to be far away from the world or practice in the mountains. The best way to live is to give yourself some time to be alone, to listen to your inner voice, to clear the past, and to let distractions go.

leave a window for the room so that the sun can shine in; leave space for the heart and wisdom will be awakened.

before Wang Yangming understood "mind learning", he once asked his teacher, "what is the most important event in the world?"

the teacher told him: "is to get merit and fame".

he asked his father, "what is the truth in the world?"

his father said to him, "Master Zhu Xi said that reason is in all things."

however, Wang Yangming did not have an epiphany of the truth when he was in "GE Zhu Zi".

later, Wang Yangming was relegated to Longchang, the environment was very poor, the language was not clear, without the interference of others, let go of the inherent understanding, he finally understood the meaning of life.

finally, Xin Xue was founded and was known as the "saint of the ages."

Wisdom is in everyone's heart, but very often we doubt ourselves because of the ideas of others, and hinder ourselves because of our inherent knowledge.

A philosopher said: "only when people think independently will there be a spark of wisdom."

learn to be true to your heart and think independently, leaving a space for the mind to let the seeds of wisdom take root and sprout.

self-cultivation

there is a saying in the twenty-fifth chapter of the moral Sutra: "quiet, independent, weekly but not perilous, can be the mother of the world."

means: the main road is silent and empty, running without any external force, going round and round without interruption.

people evolved from the main road, and it is in line with the law to practice independently and live out of themselves.

conform to nature so that you can be satisfied and not be bothered by trifles.

in a Taoist temple, Master told the Taoist child that he was going to travel for a month and told him to guard the Taoist temple.

the Taoist boy said uneasily, "Master, you are gone, leaving me alone. What can I do?"

Master smiled and said, "you have to learn to live alone. I can't stay with you forever."

the child nodded thoughtfully.

A month later, Master came back and said to Daotong, "how do you feel when I'm away?"

Daotong said, "I feel great. While you were away, I learned to go down the mountain to carry water, to chop wood to cook, to clean the yard, and to take care of flowers and plants." I feel like I get something every day. "

Independence is the time when a person grows fastest, when people correct themselves and improve themselves in independence, so as to achieve themselves.

A writer once said, "you have to walk on your own before you can get wider and wider."

in this part of life, everyone can only accompany us.

do not rely on others, rely on their own step by step out, can be the most down-to-earth, can appreciate the most beautiful scenery, live out the meaning of life.

Mr. Yang Jiang said: "the world is our own and has nothing to do with others." "

the more people experience in middle age, the more they will understand that everyone lives in their own world and finishes their homework, and the fate of mankind is not the same.

Nothing could be more charming than our mother of the bride dresses with jackets . In every style, you can now choose your style.

fools always want to seek a sense of existence in the crowd, but wise people live out their self-worth in solitude. People with a high realm of

are people who know how to enjoy loneliness.

stay for a while, calm in solitude and empty your heart.

leave a space to wake up in solitude and arouse wisdom.

leave a little space to learn independently and enrich yourself.

May you and I leave a little world in my heart to heal myself and comfort me for the rest of my life.
