"Zhuangzi Outer Chapters Deliberate Fifteenth" It is nothing more than arrogance to deliberately respect the practice, stay away from the world and the customs, and talk about complaints and slanders.The people in this valley are not the people of the world, and those who go to the abyss withered are also preferred.Words of benevolence, righteousness, loyalty and trustworthiness, respect and frugality, are just for cultivation.This person of ordinary life, a person who teaches, is also a favorite of traveling scholars.To make great achievements in language, to establish a great name, to be respectful to the emperor and ministers, to be upright and upright, is just for governance.This is a man of the imperial court, a man who respects the lord and strengthens the country, and those who make contributions and combine them are also good.As far as the Yau Ze is concerned, the place is idle, where fishing is idle, and there is nothing to do.This is a favorite of people from the river and sea, people who escape from the world, and those who have leisure.Blowing and breathing, exhaling the old and taking in the new, bears pass by birds and recites, it's just for longevity.People who lead this way, people who cultivate their shape, are also the favorites of Peng Zushou's examiners.If the husband does not deliberately become high, cultivates without benevolence and righteousness, governs without fame, idles without rivers and seas, lives long without being guided by Taoism, forgets everything, and has everything.It is indifferent and infinite, and all the beauties follow it.This way of heaven and earth is the virtue of a sage.

Therefore, it is said: Husband is calm and indifferent, emptiness and inaction, the peace of the world and the quality of morality.Therefore, it is said: It is easy for a sage to rest and rest.If it is easy, it is calm.If it is easy and calm, sorrows cannot enter it, and evil spirits cannot attack it, so its virtue is complete and its spirit is not lost.Therefore, it is said: the life of a sage is also carried out by heaven, and his death is also materialized.Static and yin with the same virtue, moving and yang with the same wave.Don't start with blessings, don't start with disasters.Respond after feeling, move after being forced, and act after having to.Go to the knowledge and the past, escape the truth of the sky.Therefore, there are no natural disasters, no burdens, no faults, and no ghosts to blame.Its life is like floating, its death is like resting.Don't think, don't plan.It is light but not bright, and trust is not expected.It sleeps without dreams, and its sleep is worry-free.Its spirit is pure, but its soul is endless.Nothingness and tranquility are in harmony with the virtues of heaven.Therefore, it is said: Those who are sad and happy are the evil of virtue; those who are happy and angry are the fault of the way; those who like and dislike are the loss of virtue.Therefore, if the mind is free from worry and joy, virtue is the ultimate; if one remains unchanged, it is tranquil; if there is nothing to disobey, it is empty; if it does not interact with things, it is insipid; if there is nothing against it, it is pure. .Therefore, it is said: If the body is exhausted without rest, it will be harmful; if it is used intensively, it will be exhausted.The nature of water, if it is not mixed, it will be clear, and if it does not move, it will be flat;Therefore, it is said: Pure and not miscellaneous, static and unchanging, indifferent and inactive, moving and moving according to the sky, this is the way to cultivate the mind.

Those who have the sword of Qianyue hide it, and dare not use it, it is the most precious thing.The spirit flows in all directions, omnipotent, ascends to the sky, descends to the earth, transforms and nurtures all things, cannot be an image, its name is Tongdi.The way of veganism is only guarded by God.Keep it and don't lose it, be one with God.The mastery of one is in harmony with Tianlun.There is a wild saying that says: "All people value profit, honest people value fame, wise men value ambition, and sages value essence." Therefore, those who are simple mean that they have nothing and miscellaneous; those who are pure mean that they do not lose their spirit.A vegan body is called a real person.
