Chapter 248 The Four Thoughts of Daoism and Demons
s日pt>s日pt>
The first one is called ‘Tao’, the second one is called ‘karma’, the third one is called ‘conventional’, and the fourth one is called ‘demon’?
At this moment, Shi Jiuyang mobilized and gathered all his mind to remember every word Xu Guangling said!
With the ability of a cultivator in the True First Realm, there is no need for such strenuous efforts, so in fact, Shi Jiuyang continued to imprint Xu Guangling's entire movements and demeanor in his mind in a way similar to "holography".
middle.
I don’t know if what Xu Guangling said at this time is useful to him, but it must be useful to his master!
This is Shi Jiuyang's instinct, or intuition.
And he has relied on this intuition to get to where he is today!
This is strange to say, but in fact it is not rare or strange at all. Any practitioner who has achieved success in spiritual practice will have more or less talents in this area. Only in this way can they continue to practice day by day.
In the long practice day after year, among countless detailed and trivial choices, choose those that are correct or more reasonable.
Then these correctness and reasonableness are added up little by little, leading to their ultimate excellence.
It’s hard to say about other things, but that’s how spiritual practice is. The big path and direction are determined by the lineage or teachers and elders. However, this can only determine that you “won’t be wrong”, but it cannot determine whether you are “right.”
Not being on the right path and direction means everything is settled.
You need to go step by step, and this "step by step", every year, every month, every day, and every day and night of every day, actually requires you to make a choice.
It is the seemingly insignificant left or right decision every day that ultimately determines it, not a critical choice on a certain day!
There is no such key!
In practice, the only key is inheritance, initiation, teacher and Dharma!
After that, there are no more keys. All the keys have been melted and integrated into countless days and nights, and those days and nights are all very ordinary days, so ordinary that there are no big decisions at all.
Let you do it.
"It's easy to choose life or death, it's easy to choose right or wrong."
"It's hard to choose life, it's hard to choose right."
This was what Shi Jiuyang saw in a Taoist book of the Wan Yao Sect. It was after he had entered the True First Realm. When he saw these words, Shi Jiuyang was stunned.
Looking back on the past, I realized that all my past practices were like this!
Many times, or even most of the time, you are not choosing between right and wrong, you are choosing between this is right and that is right, you are choosing between this is OK and that is OK!
But in fact, there is a difference between right and correct. This can be done and that can be done. There is also a very vague but real gap!
How to distinguish between high and low?
How to clarify this gap?
Many times, or even most of the time, the inheritance cannot solve it, the teachers cannot solve it, the brothers, sisters and even other practitioners cannot solve it.
Even you can't solve it yourself!
What this refers to is that your character, understanding, etc., cannot help you solve the problem.
In the end, you still have to rely on yourself.
What do you rely on yourself?
Something that seems ridiculous but actually dominates every cultivator
intuition!
At this time, Shi Jiuyang's intuition came into play again, causing him to use all his abilities to "imprint" as much as possible all the details of Xu Guangling's narration.
And in this situation, every sound Xu Guangling made was like a thunder, blasting into his heart, even going straight to the bottom of his heart.
"The demon is desire. Food and drink, and men and women, are its two core and pillars."
"All living beings, sentient or merciless, are enveloped by these two for as long as they are alive, for as long as they are aware of their thoughts, they can be separated for a moment, they can be separated for a short time, but they cannot be separated for a long time."
"If a living being degenerates, and degenerates to the point where it can no longer fall, it can no longer fall, everything else in its mind will be dissolved, and only these two thoughts will linger forever, and because there are no other thoughts, these two thoughts will
It will burn brighter and brighter."
"Therefore, the more demons there are, the less non-demons will be. The longer the demons are, the less likely they will be non-demons."
"And the devil cannot go."
Shi Jiuyang's whole body and mind were trembling.
And this indescribable trembling also pulled his entire physical and mental state into a temporary state that was recorded in the Taoist books but even the Taoist books were unable to describe it.
"For secular people, it's a pastime."
"Life has no direction. Everything outside the body is a direction and is the investment of the mind and thoughts. All new, strange, special and unique people, events and things outside the body can pull the movement of the mind and body's inner thoughts and make them move.
Scattered and irregular.”
"This is an opportunity for living beings to ascend, and this is also an opportunity for living beings to fall."
"This is an opportunity for living beings to be enlightened, and this is also an opportunity for living beings to be ignorant."
"What rises and falls depends on spiritual ignorance, this is a vast sea. Within the vastness, there is great calm. Under the calm, there is great terror."
"This terror can be eradicated, but without terror there is no scope."
The two hands placed under the table were held tightly by Shi Jiuyang, until the two hands seemed to merge into one, but Shi Jiuyang did not notice it at all.
The world outside the pavilion is raining.
And the world inside Shi Jiuyang's body and mind was also raining. Thunder and lightning that seemed to come from eternity flew from nine days away and swayed in his mind, while the incredible invisible rain washed away
His whole body and mind.
"Businessmen need to be focused."
"For a cultivator, cultivation is his concentration. For a scholar, learning is his concentration. For a cook, cooking is his concentration. For a businessman, trading is his concentration."
"All practitioners in the world will specialize if they have something to follow."
“Experts are the result of being good at things, skills are the reason why you are good at things, and skills are why you are good at things.”
"This is where the soul's thoughts gather, where the consciousness condenses, and where the heart returns."
"If there is no gathering, no condensation, and no return, then the mind and thoughts of living beings are like a ball of loose sand, spreading in the wilderness without any master."
"Without a master, demons and ordinary people invade their nests and boil over the sky."
Shi Jiuyang's entire body seemed to be stiff, and his sight had long lost its focus and became as empty as the opposite side.
His whole person now looks like an empty shell.
And the fact is almost the same, all other senses and inductions about the body are cut off, leaving only the ear acupoints and some kind of super sense belonging to the true first realm cultivator, playing a role.
"The Taoist is so obscure that it is difficult to describe."
"All living beings are born with a Tao in their hearts, in their consciousness, and in their thoughts."
"This is always present and does not always appear."
"The industry is like the sun, the devil is like the moon, and the layman is like the stars. The three of them can see things day and night. The Taoist is like the sky. The sun, moon and stars are all visible, but the sky is both visible and invisible."
"When will we meet?"
"When demons disappear, worldly weariness and karma are stagnant, we will see the way."
"When you see the Tao, that's when creation is in motion, when body and mind are in perfect harmony with heaven and earth."
In the inner world of Shi Jiuyang's body and mind, the thunder and lightning became more and more intense, and the torrential rain was as if the Milky Way was pouring down.
"Demons and Tao are neighbors, and vulgarity and karma are companions."
"These four are entangled with each other, pulling at each other, and are yin and yang to each other.
"Holding the handle of yin and yang, controlling the growth and decline, and making the practice consistent with it. This is the 'Four Thoughts of Taoism, Industry, Worldly Demons'."
