Chapter 14 2. The way of saints

"Lao Tzu" is actually a difficult book.There are two key words to understand this book: one is "Tao" and the other is "sage".The "sage" mentioned by Laozi is different from the "sage" of Confucianism.The sages of Confucianism emphasize the cultivation of virtue to the highest level, and finally show a great effect, the so-called "turning the people into customs", "the big ones are called sages"; their sages are often ancient sage kings or some Important ministers are those who lead the world and work for the welfare of the people.Taoism is different. In "Laozi", a sage refers to a ruler who understands "Tao".There are prerequisites for becoming a saint: first, he must realize the "Tao", and only after realizing the "Tao" can he become a Taoist saint; second, he must be a ruler. If he is not a ruler, the effect will not be manifested.The sages of Taoism are all extremely intelligent, and the deeds they have shown are unimaginable to ordinary people.

In the eighty-one chapters of "Laozi", twenty-four chapters mention "sages", and there are also similar concepts such as "I", "I", and "those who have the way". Chapter - half of the book, we can see its weight.What is the secret of the sage?The first is self-reflection. If you don't know, it's good; if you don't know, you're sick.A sage is not sick because of his illness.Fu Wei is sick, so he is not sick. ("Laozi Seventy-one Chapters") Knowing and not pretending to know is the best; not knowing but pretending to know is a shortcoming.A saint has no faults because he takes them as faults.Just because he regards his shortcomings as shortcomings, he has no shortcomings.

There are twenty-six characters in this passage, and seven "disease" characters appear. "Sickness" refers to shortcomings, not illness.Sickness refers to a condition in the body, and shortcoming refers to a person's words and deeds.Why can "sick" be "not sick"?There is a saying that "a long illness makes a good doctor". Many people are healthy and have never been sick. Once they get sick, they die because they are too careless;The reason why a sage has no shortcomings is because he regards shortcomings as shortcomings, and will naturally try to avoid or improve them.Why do ordinary people have so many shortcomings?Because he doesn't regard his shortcomings as shortcomings, and even finds various excuses to cover them up. In the end, the shortcomings become more and more serious, and he can't change them for the rest of his life.

What are the disadvantages? "I don't know", I don't know but think I know. Most of us are prone to this problem. We are too subjective and prejudiced, and it is not easy to recognize other people's ideas.For example, when I turn on the TV and see someone talking, I immediately change the channel, because I think what he said is unreasonable; in fact, after listening to it a few times, I will find that he also has his reasons.However, I also have my position, and I will only agree with it if it is beneficial to me.For the same thing, you often only see the positive side of yourself, and then criticize others from the negative side, and others will deal with you in the same way. In the end, everyone is very hard, and the world will inevitably be chaotic.

A sage "knows or doesn't know", he knows but doesn't think he knows.Because what I know is probably only a certain part, a certain aspect, or a certain stage of things. If I don’t think I know it, I will keep improving.Shakespeare said: "A fool always thinks he is smart, but a wise man knows he is stupid." A truly wise person will feel that he is ignorant, so that he will continue to learn and acquire new knowledge.Socrates once said: "I only know one thing, that is, I know nothing." As soon as these words came out, the whole Athens was eclipsed, and then shocked the ancient and modern.The reason for this is that Socrates' students asked the god Apollo: Who is the smartest in Athens?The answer was Socrates.Socrates believed that God must have made a mistake, so he took his students to visit celebrities from all walks of life, including political leaders, poets in the literary and art circles, and experts in the scientific circles.Finally he understood, he said: "Why does God think I am the smartest? Because out of all people, only I know one thing, that is, I know nothing." In other words, all people don't even know themselves. No one knows, only Socrates knows that he doesn't know, so he is the smartest.This is Socrates' self-knowledge.

So real knowledge comes from "I know I don't know" and then real understanding begins.As Confucius said, "Know what you know, know what you don't know, and know what you don't know." The last "knowledge" means wisdom; knowing is knowing, and admitting that you don't know. It is wise to seek truth from facts.Therefore, if a sage has any secrets, the first secret is to be able to reflect on himself, to regard "do not know but think he knows" as a shortcoming, and avoid making such mistakes. Another characteristic of the sage is: "Being Brown with Jade", wearing coarse clothes on the outside, but carrying beautiful jade inside.This word can represent the image of Laozi's "sage" in the minds of the public.

My words are easy to know and easy to do. There is no way in the world to know, and no way to do it. There is a principle in words, and there is a king in things. Husband is ignorant, so I don't know. Those who know me are hopeful, and those who know me are expensive. Therefore, the saint was pregnant with brown jade. ("Laozi Seventy Chapters") My rhetoric is easy to understand and easy to practice.People in the world can't understand it, and they can't practice it.Words have a purpose and actions have a basis.It is because of ignorance that you do not understand me.Those who can understand me are rare, but those who can imitate me are rare.Therefore, the sage wears rough clothes and carries beautiful jade in his arms.

Lao Tzu said that my words are easy to understand and easy to practice.What kind of speech?Reduce desire.Don't have excessive desires, be content, everything will develop according to your nature and endowment, and everything will return to your own state; what you do is just "doing without intention" and "doing nothing", which extends to weakness and obedience , Indisputable performance, it can indeed be said to be easy to know and easy to do.It's a pity that few people can achieve "reducing desires". Many people have been caught in the pursuit of desires all their lives, but will they be happy after they get it?uncertain.For example, we often have some attachments. When we see good things, we want to keep them for ourselves. After we get them, we don’t care about them; The pain of stability.On the contrary, if it can be combined with the root, there is nothing necessary in the world. All the prosperity and wealth in the world are like the fables mentioned in the fable "It is like watching birds, mosquitoes and flies are better than before". Flying by in front of my eyes, I don't care about it at all.

Modern people are too unfamiliar with "Tao", not only forgetting "Tao", but also losing "virtue" (nature and talent).Many people in society use "virtue" as a tool to exchange for external short-term benefits. Even if he succeeds, it will be an irreplaceable failure, because his actions completely deviate from "Tao".So Lao Tzu lamented that no one in the world can understand it, and no one can practice it.Of course, this sentence is too exaggerated, at least after Laozi, Zhuangzi did it.As Confucius said: "I have never seen anyone who loves virtue as much as lust." In fact, his student Yan Yuan can do it.How could Yan Yuan like beauty more than virtue?impossible.Therefore, Laozi and Confucius said this to emphasize its importance, not because it is logical or not.

Then, "Words have a purpose, and things have a king", there must be a purpose in speaking, and a basis in doing things. These six words can be used as a motto.When people are young, they are often impulsive, often blurt out words without thinking, and often cause harm to others and themselves.Speak with a purpose, which also means concise and to the point, don't talk nonsense, and get along with others without causing too much trouble. "There is a king in everything", there is a basis and principle for everything to be done.There must be a reason for a person to do something, and it is not necessary to do it.If there is a choice to do it or not to do it, there is no reason why it should be done, and others might as well do it the same way.

The purpose of Laozi's speech is to show the world the "Tao", while his principle of action is to preserve the innate "virtue". "Tao" is "seeing what you don't see, hearing what you don't hear, and what you can't fight". Of course, it is difficult to understand.If you don't understand the "Tao", it is easy to forget the origin and destination of all things, get trapped in the relative values ​​of the world, make useless struggles, and leave all kinds of regrets in the end.That's why Lao Tzu said, it's very rare to understand me, and it's rare to be able to imitate me.In the end, he uttered the four words "Bei Brown Huaiyu". The saint's appearance is the same as that of ordinary people, seemingly ordinary and nothing special, but his inside is extraordinary. He has a piece of beautiful jade in his chest—wisdom, but it is not easy to reveal it. So as not to be ruined by people who don't know the goods. This sentence is very profound. Jesus said in the "Bible": "Do not give the holy things to the dogs, and do not cast your jewels before the pigs, lest they trample the jewels with their feet and turn to bite you. "What does that mean?The teachings of religion are very precious, so don't tell others lightly; if you say it lightly, others may laugh or insult you.As with any religion, preaching its teachings to the unprepared often invites disparaging words.Therefore, "the sage is surrounded by brown jade", that is, when we have some treasures or experiences, we should not rush to let others know, otherwise they will not know how to appreciate it, and it would be a pity to say some contemptuous words instead. We live in an era of rapid change. Most of our attention is distracted by the colorful world outside, and we often cause our own troubles because of external temptations.The sage will resolve these problems from his own perspective, first "remove extremes, extravagance, and Thailand" and take defensive measures to avoid being enslaved by foreign objects. If you want to take over the world and do it, I see it as a last resort.The divine weapon of the world cannot be done or held on.Those who do will lose, and those who persist will lose.Therefore, the sage does not do anything, so he has no failure; he has no attachment, so he has no failure.Husbands may walk or follow; they may brag or brag; they may be strong or weak; they may carry or win.Therefore, the sage goes to extremes, to extravagance, to Thailand. ("Laozi Twenty-Nine Chapters") If he wants to rule the world and make a difference, I think he can't achieve his goal.The world is a mystical thing, one cannot do anything about it, one cannot control it.Do something and lose, control is lost.Therefore, of all things some go and some follow; some slow and some haste; some are strong and some are thin; some succeed and some fail.Therefore the sage should get rid of extremes, extravagance, and excess. "Tianxia" refers to all things in the world, including people, but when it comes to a sage, since he is the ruler, the world here refers to the whole world composed of humans.If the ruler has the heart to govern, then the ending must be difficult to be comprehensive, either he will lose sight of the other, or he will not be able to live in peace for a long time.For example, should we preserve agriculture or develop industry and commerce?The development of industry and commerce requires not only sacrificing agriculture, but even environmental protection. It is difficult to give a comprehensive consideration.Although the politicians have a long-term view, the common people are looking for immediate interests.There are so many emperors, generals, and political leaders throughout the ages. No one can cover everything. Some classes must be satisfied, while others complain. Because resources are limited, it is impossible to meet the requirements of everyone.So it's best to do it unintentionally and let nature take its course. The "things" of "husbands and things are either walking or following" are all things, and here it especially refers to the world of "people".Everything in the world has its own characteristics, and the overall balance is maintained in the unevenness. This is the magical function of the "artifact".Going forward, following behind; Slow, impatient; Strong, thin; Success, failure-these eight states are in groups of two, and when viewed together, it is a state of balance.Some people are born to be leaders, so be a leader, why fight with him?Some people are born to deal with the aftermath of others, so why run to the front?Some people are born with a slow personality, and their reactions are slow; some people are very anxious, and they rush to the front before things happen.There is no right or wrong in all of this, as long as they can cooperate with each other, living in the world is a matter of matching. Lao Tzu said that because the sage understands this, he removes extremes, extravagance, and excess, just wanting to return to the state of nature.Because of extreme, extravagant, and excessive, there will be sequelae. Extreme joy begets sorrow, and indulgence hurts the body. This has been a well-known teaching since ancient times.This principle can be associated with ordinary people’s attitude towards antiques. If you don’t have the desire to possess, appreciate it after appreciating it and put it aside for others to see. Once you become possessive, it will be troublesome. I don’t know whose ancestral tomb will suffer. up. There is a story that in ancient times, there was a rich man who had several warehouses filled with all kinds of gold, silver and jewelry.His poor friend said to him, "Can you lend me your gold, silver and jewelry?" He said, "Of course, but you can't take it." Warehouse to see.After coming out, the poor friend said to him: "I am as rich as you now." He was startled: "How could that be? You didn't take anything, how could you be as rich as me?" Poor friend Said: "Your treasures are for viewing. After I went in and looked at them, wouldn't I be as rich as you?" This is very reasonable. Let's think about it. Where is it?Of course, it has already fallen into the hands of others, perhaps inherited by his children; perhaps the descendants are unfilial, rich for only three generations, and the family property is sold off; or they were all robbed during the war; everywhere.So, why do you still have to pursue it? A person's life is often aroused by external stimuli, and when he is awake, he is already in middle age.For example, to watch the World Cup football match, you can stay up all night; after the event, you will find that this is just a kind of enthusiasm.There are also many things in society that let everyone dance along.A truly free society should maintain a person's basic dignity of life and allow people to have more time to live their lives well. Unfortunately, this is not the case now. Instead, all kinds of media are allowed to let everyone forget their inner needs.A few years ago, a newspaper published that one person commits suicide every three hours in Taiwan. Why is the suicide problem so serious?Because people often pay attention to external achievements, but ignore the understanding, reflection, training and cultivation of their own hearts, so they can't bear the setbacks.At this time, if we can return to our hearts, think a little farther, consider what Lao Tzu said "to go to extremes, to go to extravagance, to go to Thailand", to reduce external interference, and not to let our hearts be trapped by foreign objects, human life is possible To achieve a kind of wisdom liberation. The phrase "know the world without leaving your home" is not difficult today.Just turn on the newspaper, TV, or surf the Internet.There are even some people who are called "homeboys and homegirls", who rarely go out, and still know what's going on in the world.But in the era when there were no newspapers, television, and the Internet more than 2,000 years ago, and information exchange was very underdeveloped, isn’t it strange that Lao Tzu said such words? Know the world without leaving home; see the way of heaven without peeping.The farther he travels, the less he knows.It is because the sage knows without doing, understands without seeing, and achieves without doing. ("Laozi Forty-Seven Chapters") One can know the truth of the world without going out of the door, and the truth of the world; one can see the laws of nature without looking out the window. success. "Know the world without leaving your home" refers to the human world.The ancients didn't leave the gate, and they didn't step through the two gates. How did they know the truth of the world?The answer is simple. The difficulty of getting along with others starts from the family, and the family relationship is the most complicated.In the past, it was common for three or four generations to live together in extended families. How to live in harmony with many relatives is a big challenge.Therefore, as long as you pay attention to how you get along with your family, it will be the same in the world.In other words, how people live in the world, you can actually know from a family, the epitome of the whole country and society is a small family.Laozi's concept is holistic, the universe is called the macrocosm, and each of us is a microcosm.For example, how do I understand others?First really understand yourself, understand your own emotions, what kind of desires you have, and your goals in this life, then you will know that I think so, and others are similar, so we must be considerate and understanding of others.And the relationship between people in a family is similar to that in society. Everyone wants to be respected and affirmed, and they hope to find suitable opportunities to develop themselves, so they can see from close to far without going outside, even if they are locked in the house. , but also through observation and introspection, to understand the affairs of the world. The second sentence "Don't peep into the sky, but see the way of heaven" refers to the natural world. "牖" is a window, and I know the rules of the universe without looking out the window.Just like the western philosopher Spinoza said, if you give me a small piece of wood, I can know the whole universe.why?Because a piece of wood comes from a tree, the annual rings and imprints on the wood can reflect the growth process of the tree; and a tree reflects a mountain; a mountain reflects an earth; It is the whole universe.In other words, if you have a thorough understanding of a small piece of wood, you know the situation of the entire universe. "Seeing the world with a grain of sand" is by no means a poet's imagination, but a fact.It is really admirable that Laozi could have such a state of thought more than two thousand years ago.What he said is the same as what our modern people have researched with high technology.The structure of everything in the universe can be known from a small molecule.If you study the small things thoroughly, you will grasp the laws of the big things.Therefore, paying attention to anything around you is learning. Lao Tzu went on to say that the farther you go outside, the less you realize.I often use this sentence as an excuse. Many friends ask me if I want to travel or visit a certain scenic spot, but I avoid it with "the farther you go, the less you know".Why?On the one hand, my time is tight, and I always feel that there is a lot of work to do, so it is difficult to travel easily; on the other hand, if I go to travel, I will make preparations first, and after fully understanding the local historical background, geographical environment, and cultural characteristics, Take another look and you will understand.Otherwise, when you are traveling, you will just skim the surface and look at the flowers on horseback. When you come back, you will ask what you saw?I don't know, just a few photos.Instead, I looked up the encyclopedia at home, collected information carefully, and maybe I could learn more than traveling to the local area.Of course, many people say that "seeing once is better than hearing a hundred books" and "reading thousands of books is worse than traveling thousands of miles". Introspection is the premise, to grasp what you see and hear from the inside, and understand the deep part of things; if there is no "self-knowledge", everything else is really dispensable. In the end, Lao Tzu brought up the sage.He said that a sage knows without experience, understands without seeing it, and succeeds without doing it.But ordinary people have to experience, see, and practice for themselves in order to understand what is going on.Why are saints different from us?Because he can deduce, understand and observe deeply from the things around him, from tiny things, so as to imagine the various operating laws of human society and nature. This is the difference between Taoism and Confucianism.Confucianism attaches great importance to the cultivation of virtue, and pursues from sincerity to good deeds; Taoism attaches great importance to the awakening of wisdom, whether to do good deeds is another matter, first realize what is good, once awakened, behavior will naturally change.Therefore, Taoism pulls the focus from the outside to the inside, first seeks inner awareness, understands many small things and small places around you thoroughly, and then extends it to the entire universe and everything in the world, because at the level of "Tao", everything is connected . In Lao Tzu's view, human society is a group, and there must be division of labor and cooperation between people. Some people are leaders and others are led.A sage is a leader who understands the "Tao". The reason why Jianghai can be the king of the hundred valleys is because of his goodness, so he can be the king of the hundred valleys.Therefore, if a sage wants to be superior to the people, he must speak to the people; if he wants to be the first to the people, he must be behind.Therefore, the sage is at the top and the people are not important, and the people are at the front without harming the people.Therefore, the world is happy to push and never tire of it.Because it does not compete, the world cannot compete with it. ("Laozi Sixty-Six Chapters") The reason why Jianghai can become the place where all the rivers return is because it is good at being in a low position, so that all the rivers can return.Therefore, if a sage wants to be above the people, he must speak modestly; if he wants to be ahead of the people, he must retreat behind.In this way, the sage occupies a high position and the people do not feel burdened; stands at the forefront and the people do not feel hindered.So people in the world are happy to support him and will not dislike him.Because he does not compete with others, no one in the world can compete with him. Lao Tzu likes the quality of water very much. "Water is good for all things without competing for it." When all things need it, water tries to cooperate.Here I first use Jiang Hai as a metaphor. Why does Jiang have a long history?Why is the sea vast and boundless?Because of their lowest position.The location is low, and other tributaries can flow in.A sage should learn the qualities of Jiang Hai. If he wants to be above the people, he must speak modestly. The more modest he is, the more people like him.There is a "Qian hexagram" in it, and the six lines "if it is not auspicious, it will be beneficial".The mountain was originally very tall, requiring others to look up to, but now it has gone underground, showing the same characteristics as the earth, soft and obedient.The same is true for people, the more humble a person is, the more respected he is by others; the higher a person's status is, the more humble his speech must be.Because you are already in a very high position, why should you be so arrogant? On the other hand, the sage lives before the people, and when he stands at the forefront, he has to step back and ask others to go first, so that everyone can enjoy the blessings first, and does not compete with the people for profit. This is a wise rule.Confucius talked with four students about their ambitions, and Zilu was the first to speak. He said that if he was allowed to govern the country, he would definitely be able to make the country prosperous and happy within a few years.After hearing this, Confucius smiled, but actually he was laughing at his naivety.Confucius said that governing a country should be based on "rituals", and the essence of "rituals" is "letting go".Since you want to govern the country, you must first be courteous; then you are not humble at all when you speak now, isn’t it a violation of this principle? "Mencius" mentions that the heart has four ends: the heart of compassion, the heart of shame, the heart of modesty, and the heart of right and wrong. "Heart of Resignation" means "Li". A sage is an enlightened ruler.He realized what the "Tao" is, and then ruled the common people according to the enlightenment of the "Tao".That's why Lao Tzu said that when a sage stands at the top, the people don't feel burdened, and they don't feel that we are under pressure when he comes; when a sage stands at the forefront, the people don't feel hindered, and they still live their lives and be themselves thing. It is said that a person asked Lao Tzu how to cultivate himself.Lao Tzu said, I see that on your journey, when you arrived at the hotel, people gave up their seats and respected you when they saw you. The hotel owner even gave you a towel to wipe your face. It is not right to look like a high-ranking official, or from a wealthy family.Because you cultivate to the end, you should make others feel that you are no different from everyone else.This person was very useful after hearing it, so he started to practice.Later, when he went to stay in a hotel, other people competed with him for a seat, because he was not regarded as a big shot, so I would not feel that I had to be particularly cautious in front of this person.Lao Tzu believes that at this time your self-cultivation is successful.You can mingle with others anywhere, and there doesn't seem to be any pressure when being with you, and there is no need for special vigilance or vigilance. In this way, of course, everyone is happy.Because human beings are originally in the same universe, everyone is the same, they just play different roles and have different functions. Lao Tzu finally said that such a person, people in the world are happy to support him and will not dislike him, because he does not compete with others, so no one in the world can compete with him.There is a story of "Ranging the King".The monarch wants to give up the throne to others, but many people have no time to escape. Why?Because he doesn't want to be a king, he likes to be a commoner.A real leader will not let the common people feel that he is ruling everyone. A real leader must put himself in the lowest position, so that he can accommodate all people and tolerate everything.The so-called "the prime minister can pull a boat in his belly", even the prime minister is like this, let alone a real leader.In fact, this is not necessarily the case when you are a leader, each of us is the same. The last chapter of Laozi also mentions the sage: The sage does not accumulate, he thinks that the more he has, the more he gives to others.The way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful; the way of saints is to do without fighting. ("Laozi Eighty-one Chapters") A sage has no reservations. Try to help others, but you will be more abundant; try to give others, but you will be more abundant.The law of nature is to benefit all things without harming them; the style of a sage is to complete tasks without competing with others. This passage is very touching to read.May I ask what kind of things are trying to help others, but they are more sufficient?Give as much as possible to others, but you will be richer?If it is material, suppose I have ten dollars, and I give you five dollars, and I have five dollars left over, how can I give more after I give it?So it must not be material, but spiritual.For example, love, the more a person cares about others, the richer his love is, and the greater his energy to help others. This energy is not obtained from the outside, but developed from within; on the contrary, if a person never cares about others, , his love has no ability to emerge at all, and when he sees that others are in trouble, he doesn't know how to help.There is a saying in the West that goes well: "Sometimes the material is poor, but the more you use it, the more you get the spirit."Clothes wear out for a long time, and they become old; things wear out for a long time, and this is called "materials are sometimes poor"; the spirit gets better as you use it, and many people have this experience when they read books. I understand, the more you like reading, the less tired you feel. Reading is also a kind of mental function.Another example is Mother Teresa. When she helped the poor in India, she gave so much care every day. Although she was physically exhausted, her spiritual strength was endless.The more you care about others, the more you know how to care. From caring for a few people to caring for everyone, it is more than enough, because this in itself has become a manifestation of spiritual life. It can be seen from this that Laozi's understanding of "Tao" is also considered from the aspect of spirituality. "Tao" is equivalent to the transcendence, and the spirituality is the transcendent part of the human body and mind.This transcendent part does not exclude the body and mind, but completely allows the body and mind to function properly.Body and mind will have fatigue and limitations, but the spirit can fulfill their purpose, so that they never feel tired.Since a sage has comprehended the "Tao", he will not hesitate to share spiritual resources with others, and will try his best to care for and give to others. In this way, he will be more sufficient. Next, Lao Tzu said that the sages imitate "Heaven", "Heaven" represents the laws of the entire natural world, "the way of heaven is beneficial but not harmful", which only helps people and does not harm them.So the style of the sage is to do what is right, to complete the task without competing with others. "Zhuangzi·Tiandao" said: "Heaven's way is luck without accumulation, so all things come into being; emperor's way is luck without accumulation, so the world returns; holy way is luck without accumulation, so the sea is flat." Its meaning is not to accumulate, Don't hold back, don't stagnate, everything is in motion.For example, the things we have now may not have been in the past, and may disappear in the future;Therefore, in order for all things to operate and move continuously, there is no need to think about accumulating anything.In a similar sense, there is also a passage in "Lao Tzu": The way of heaven is to damage what is more than to make up for what is not enough.The way of man is not so, the loss is not enough to give more than enough.Who can have more than enough to serve the world?Only the Taoist.It is because the sage does not rely on it, and does not rely on it, and does not want to see the virtuous. "Laozi Seventy-Seven Chapters" The law of nature is to subtract what is surplus and make up what is not enough.This is not the way of life in the world, which is to reduce the deficiency and use it to supply the surplus.Who can use the surplus to provide for the people of the world?Only those who understand the "Tao" can do this.Therefore, the sage does something without relying on his own strength, achieves something without claiming merit, and he is unwilling to show his superiority. The way of heaven is to make up for what is lacking, and to maintain the balance of the natural ecology.Spring, summer, autumn and winter are the most obvious examples; hot, the end of the heat, autumn is here; cold, the end of the cold, spring is here.The human world is just the opposite. It is "the loss is not enough, and the gift is more than enough", "the watermelon is close to the big side". The situation of fairness is getting worse and worse.The sage's actions are to imitate the "Tao of Heaven", and he can distribute surplus or inexhaustible property to the people of the world. Why is the "Tao of Heaven" close to the "Tao"?Because nature has not been polluted by man.Once you enter the human world, everything is out of shape when measured by human standards, and in the end it becomes "there is nothing wrong in the world, and people are disturbing themselves." Most of the troubles in the human world are caused by human beings themselves.
