Chapter 27 Sages (2)

Or ask: "The madman calls the ancients, but he does not hide his words. Does nothing mean that he does what he says? Confucius ridiculed him?" He said: "This is far from the character of those who do not care about words. For example, in shooting, stand up Arch the handle a hundred paces away, and the nine arrows join together. This support depends on the basic ability. The poor man shoots clumsily. At the beginning of drawing the string, he also hopes to arch the handle and do it. If you are not close to the swan of the abbot, how can you harm him as a person of lofty ideals? And know that the sun closes the bow, the moon draws the arrow, and the white head lives for life. Is there anyone who is not a foundation? Therefore, scholars value aspirations, and saints take aspirations. Ruler, see the inch and keep the inch, Confucius thinks that the second is to take the correctness of keeping it, and hate the narrowness of his ambition. Today, people are content with the shabby, hate the impetuous, and do everything without regard to words. What's more, use words It is not a slander, but I don’t know how a sage can achieve it in one step? Is there a way for a sage to make a quick stop? Only those who have aspirations give up halfway, and those who have no ambitions can take steps.” Or say: “Don’t say anything. And how about doing it?" He said: "This is the wisdom, the people below the middle level must pay attention to erudition, interrogation, clear debate, and struggle with comrades. This is why they pay attention to it, and don't talk about it? If you don't care about words, then say If you act like that, talk about the ancients and lose your heart, how can you speak the same language as the madman?"

A gentleman has his own laws and regulations in his conduct, and this is a proper way to say it.However, since Yao, Shun, Yu, Tang, Wen, Wu, Zhou, and Confucius, there is only one law, such as laws and decrees, which are guarded by the ancient and modern world.If the family is its own law, and the people are their own orders, then it is the law of Boyi, Yi Yin, and Liu Xiahui.Therefore, those who take the Tao as the law are the saints of the time; those who take the temperament as the law are the saints of one side.

Saints are things to conform to, and everyone is also things to conform to.The sage's conformity also comes from Kuoran Taigong, so the words respond to people like a sound, which is in line with the principle of what should be said;The conformity of the people also comes from the trust of one's feelings, so the response to people's words is like talking to others, but it is seldom consistent with reason;The gentleman is not like this, he can't conform to it, and dare not conform to it.If you talk about it and then say it, you are afraid of saying it; if you plan it and then act, you are afraid of regretting it.

But it comes from the preservation and inspection.Alas!Those who adapt to today's things, everyone is also, is it a saint?
Sad too!

A sage is the same as all the people, but only understands the principles of all people. What is different is that everyone is different from the sage.

The way of heaven regards impermanence as permanence, and takes inaction as action.The sage takes no heart as his heart, and takes nothing as his work.

The love of all things is also for those who seek their own way.But the heart of a sage wants to fulfill all things and fulfills his will.

It is very difficult to be perfect for the universe, and it is especially difficult to be completely flawless from birth to the genus. I am afraid that there are not many people in ancient times.Among them, Xu Shengren are all half-persons. The flaws in the front are repaired later, and they are clean and become a good person in their later years.If it is reversed, there are many shortcomings before it is reversed.Today, people are willing to abandon themselves if they have made mistakes, thinking that they cannot return to the realm of saints. They don't know that thieves may change their evil and do good, so why harm them?Just look at the place where you are going to be a very good person, and you have been spared before.

The sage lowers his energy and revives the situation, just like adjusting the energy and blood. Losing the extravagance does not benefit the strength, and nourishing the deficiency does not make the weak, it just needs to return to balance.Unevenness leads to partiality, partiality leads to disease, large deviation leads to serious illness, and small deviation leads to minor illness.Although the sage desires injustice, he cannot obtain it.

The sage is absolutely four, not only is there no place for footholds, even for all principles, there is no place for action. The so-called smoothness of everything is ruthless.

All the principles are clear in the mind of the saint, when he is still, he is like a hanging mirror, and when he feels it, he is like a river, and there is no spontaneous good thought for no reason.The hair of kind thoughts is not pure goodness in the chest.Therefore, only if there is food in the daytime, then there will be the clearness of the night air.The sage is always angry at night, so he sees the situation in his chest without reason.

Acts of decrees can make earth puppets rush; soaking in blessings can make dead trees sprout evil; enlightenment can make birds and beasts tame; spirits can make ghosts and gods feel good, and I will be considered a saint.

The sage does not force people to be too difficult, but just dials him a little bit of natural affirmation.

Counselor Hua Yudi's sage, although among human beings, is actually a living heaven, which I call a human heaven.

Confucius is just a pass, and there is no Confucius outside the pass.

Saints don't go by chance.Don't go with the customs, don't go with the temperament.

The sage leveled the world, not barren mountains to fill the sea, an inch higher for him, and an inch lower for him.

What is holy and unknowable is called God.The unknowable is the ancestor of the knowable.If there is nothing unknowable, you can know it, but if you don’t know it, you can’t know what is attached?

Just because of this awareness, many relationships and troubles are born.Falling flowers and flying catkins have no life or death?He's just accommodating and obedient.Or say: "Sacred learning should be so?"

Said: "Richness, poverty, longevity, favor and disgrace, the sage never tastes the ears of flowers and catkins. Although there is awareness, the heart does not suffer from awareness."

There is nothing uncomfortable in the heart of a saint.Introspection without guilt, neither worry nor fear, external troubles, and no resentment, just a period of restlessness, but fear of destiny, sad and poor.

Calmness and peace of mind, the saint is always like this.Or say: "How about joy, anger, sorrow, and joy in front of you?" Said: "Just feel joy, anger, sorrow, and joy, calm down and worry, without any damage to your chest."

Those who give each other say how expensive the parts on the face are, and they refer to it everywhere.Yu said: "This is not the worry. You want to hide the world's principles with one heart, you want to take care of the world's affairs on both shoulders, and you want to step on both feet to make everything settled. Although it is not expensive, Zi Xi is worried? Otherwise, I am ashamed of myself."

Those who enter things dye things, and those who enter things dye things; but the sage has nothing to enter, and nothing can enter.But nothing enters, so everything enters.But if you don't enter for the sake of things, the old things can't be separated from it.

When it comes to eating and dressing, people never say that of course I have to do it. As for the five constants and one hundred behaviors, they say that of course they have to do it, but they can't do it.

Confucius followed his heart when he was seventy, but he did not dare to follow when he was 69.Everyone's life is just from the heart, how can you be at ease from the heart?The sacred science is trembling, just subduing a word of obedience, not to be cautious and fearful, but to be diligent and diligent every day to prevent its obedience.Is there no joy, and joy is just joy.The joy of everyone is different.If one does not deviate from the Tao, the nature of sages and sages is not different from others, so why bother?

The sun is to all forms, the view is to all phenomena, the wind is to all sounds, the scale is to weight, and the sage is to everything, because the nature is given to nature, and I have nothing to give.Then those who feel are always calm, those who respond are always at ease, joy is also heaven, anger is also heaven, and the sky in my heart is the same as before.All the emotions are overwhelming, and all the movements are entangled, but the sky in my heart is the same as before.

It is a great joy to have nothing to hide from others in life.

Although Yao and Shun were born with knowledge and safety, Yao and Shun had their own kung fu.Learning is smart and wise, how can thousands of people not be informed or pondered?Zhu Wengong said: A sage knows how to walk in peace, and there is no gradual accumulation.A sage has the accumulation of a sage, how can a Confucian be able to test his knowledge?

Saints do not correct.

The saint knows nothing.

Mencius said that King Wen would take it, but the people of Yan would not take it if they didn't like it. Although it was not in King Wen's heart, it was the best time to see the situation.King Wen didn't take it for the benefit of the world, nor did he run away because he hated wealth and honor.At that time, there are only two thirds of the world, and even King Wu can't do it. If there are three thirds of the world, even King Wen can't do it. The poem "Zuo" says: "When the time is dark, when the time is pure and prosperous, it is the use of Dajie."The business is deeply entrenched, and it needs to lose its fate and people's hearts to the extreme. The Zhou family has accumulated a lot of benevolence, and it needs to receive the fate and people's hearts to the extreme.Just like ripe melons fall by themselves, ripe chestnuts fall by themselves, not waiting to be peeled and picked; and Mo Dao Wen Wang succeeded in doing it, that is, in the time of King Wu, Zhou lost the hearts of the people for several years, and King Wu gained the hearts of the people for several years.What a waste of time and effort to obtain the oath of Mu Wucheng!Toasts defended in many ways, how frightened and frightened; the king of Wu was born, picked, and stripped.Another example is scabs falling from sores and chickens laying eggs. There is no fight for a moment.If King Wen will not commit any crimes when he arrives at King Wu, or give up Weiji as a refuge in Nanhe Yangcheng, Xu Guan's destiny is where the hearts of the people belong. It belongs to me and I will not send it away. If it does not belong to me, I will not invite it to come. Peace of mind , let it come and go.The reason why King Wen is the most virtuous.If An accepts the return of two points, not only will the virtue be damaged, if Zhou sends troops to ask, the traitor will be defeated, what will King Wen say?Even though there are tens of thousands of people under the king of Wen, they dare not accept the treason of Shang.It is used to see that Wen Wang is benevolent and familiar with wisdom, so he is the sage of Xuanzhe.

Tang prayed for Sanglin to sacrifice himself, which is Shi's delusion.According to the drought in the 18th year of Tang Dynasty, to the 23rd year, praying to the mulberry forest for six things, so it was seven years earlier, and the sky was raining.Husband farming can't help the winter drought for three months, and the summer drought can't help ten days. If you make Tang Chi seven years and then pray, then the people will have no leftovers. How can you be a saint?That is to say, if Tang prays with his body and the sky does not rain, he will commit suicide, and the people will not commit suicide, and he will not commit suicide, and he will ask the sky. How much prayer can Tang have in his body?Although the sky enjoys sacrifices, would you rather eat soup?It's been seven years, every year is early, so it's not necessarily not to pray, and every year to pray for rain, it's not necessarily unreasonable, six things of self-blame, Shi Yiji especially remembers it for a while.Praying with people is absolutely nothing.

When Boyi saw that the crown was not straight, he looked away, why didn't he tell him to make it straight?Liu Xiahui sees that she is naked, and she is with you, why don't you tell the envoy?Therefore, it is said: No barbarians don't benefit, and the treasure of the gentleman's later life is also.

The elites of the five emperors and three kings who have never been separated from ancient times have been cast into a Confucius, and the rest are like Yan, and the sages who have followed him to Si and Meng, but the pure energy of heaven and earth is empty.It is also advisable to be unworthy of the monarchs and ministers in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period!After that, there is no saint out there.The elites of Jin Kong and Meng Zhuxian have not fully vented!
Zhou Zi said: "Is it possible to learn from the sage? It is said to have no desire." Foolishly said that the sage cannot be without desire, and there is desire in the combination of the seven emotions.Confucius said that if one wants to be established, one wants to achieve.Mencius said: "The vast land and the people, the gentleman desires it." Heaven's desires cannot be without, and human desires cannot be had.The desire of heaven is public; the desire of man is private.Zhou Ziyun said "the sage has no desire", Yu Yun said: "It is not as good as the sage and selfless." The reason why the three clans are different in these two words.

A sage has no knowledge of his own.

If you forget about the situation, you still distinguish yourself from the other. A sage may be unstained, but the environment and I are one.But it is completely free of stains, the so-called "don't drown in water, don't burn in fire", and those who are not the most perfect saints can't do it.If the dust is my servant and becomes one, then the sky will die.

The sage knowledge is just that man can conquer nature.

The privateness of the saint is public; the publicity of the public is private.

The saint has no night air.

"Clothing and brocade should be respected", it is the role of scholars, and there is no such thing as a sage.

The sage king does not need the sky but me, my sky is determined and the sky of the sky follows.

A sage who is born with knowledge does not make progress.

Only when knowledge reaches the status of Confucius can it be considered a master, and there is no knowledge beyond master.

The sage considers himself to be inferior to others, so there is no one in the world who is as sage.If a sage is omnipotent, there is nothing that has not been achieved; if everyone is omnipotent, there is no one who sees the essence.It is also the pleasure of the sage to make up for the lack of perfection with the single essence.The heart of this sage is always apologetic and not self-satisfied, and he is endlessly desirous of doing good.

A sage does not show others the difficult way. What he does is possible for all generations in the world; what he says is known for all generations in the world.Non-sages derogate others to favor others, but although saints want to do what they cannot, they say what they don't know, but they can't get it.This is the case with Dao, and it is easy to know and follow.
