0866 Mortal Sages and Immortals
Chang Ning looked at his uncle Ning Xiaohua happily.
Knowing everything about Ning Xiaohua's endless talk today, Chang Ning quickly became vigilant.
The self-proclaimed philosopher's uncle, who has never been involved in politics, has rarely intervened in the family's internal rivalry, no one knows, he is busy every day, except for what he is doing after completing twelve classes a week in the classroom of Beijing University, he has never commented on the family members, and his performance today is really abnormal.
Could it be the effect of alcohol in this Wuliangye? Probably not, Chang Ning shook his head secretly, usually he can drink two bottles, but now he hasn't finished a bottle, it's far behind.
"Xiao Chang, a little nobler than Hun and laymen are mortals, mortals are some people who live by emotion, the central content of their lives, is family affection, relatives and friends, colleagues and classmates, group ancestors, countries and nations, the minimum standard of their lives is to eat and drink, children are healthy, family harmony and happiness, social peace and tranquility, a slightly higher standard, is to be able to glorify the ancestors, become famous and become a family, hope for a son to become a dragon, hope for a daughter to become a phoenix, the door is full of gold and jade, the door is full of traffic, and can take revenge, its highest standard, It is to be able to make contributions to their own nation, religion, group, political party, and country, so as to be able to live for generations and become famous for generations, reasonable, pay attention to this reason, is the primary factor considered by mortals in dealing with all affairs, they are the most painful type of people in the human heart, because they have thoughts, emotions, reason, ambitions, but they are in the red dust, every day and every hour have to deal with the vulgar, fight against the prejudice in the secular society, compete with the **** in their own hearts, and fight against traditional ethics and morality. The heart is often in contradiction and pain, in remorse, both want to develop themselves, but also want to echo the crowd, need too much, too much, and get too little too little, often sigh that time is too little, life is short, feel that people in the rivers and lakes, involuntarily, as they grow older, they are helpless to continue to move closer to fate, they are very faithful, but this faith is crowded, blind, helpless, arbitrary, not based on the knowledge of the truth, therefore, mortal faith is fragile and can not stand the test, It is changing with the changes of the times and the living environment of the space, the reason why they are mortals is that they do not have firm beliefs, they cannot and cannot gain strength and wisdom from their beliefs, and they can only live and die in the whirlpool of pain in the red dust of the world for generations, they have a common characteristic, that is, they generally regret the past, ignore the present, and look forward to the future, mortals will never be satisfied, and their pain will never end. ”
Chang Ning listened, scratched his head and smiled: "Uncle, how can I listen and listen, the mortals you are talking about seem to be talking about me." ”
"Haha, I'm a philosopher, I only summarize the general objective laws, since you are stubborn, then you might as well compare, mortals also have three levels, which level is in line with you?"
Chang Ning said: "What you said about the lowest pursuit of mortals, full of food and drink, healthy children, harmonious and happy family, and social peace and tranquility, isn't this just talking about me, hehe, I have always lived for these goals." ”
"No, no, that's your past, I've studied your past, when you were the commune, before the Ning family and the Fan family appeared in your life, you were indeed a person between the common and the mortal, every word and deed, what you did was simply unbearable."
Chang Ningle said: "There are some truths, some truths, no matter what, we are also the mayor of a city now, and then we just plan for ourselves, there are some things that can't be said, so well, I often think about these things in my heart, what is the glory of the ancestors, fame and family, hope for a son to become a dragon, a woman to become a phoenix, the door is full of gold and jade, and the traffic outside the door is busy, hehe, so to speak, the realm has finally improved a little." ”
"No, no, no, you're already beyond that realm by now."
Shrugging his shoulders, Chang Ning asked, "Did I go above and beyond?" Why don't I think so, I still can't forget to go back to Daqingshan to raise horses and cattle. ”
"Actually, what you are doing now is to make contributions to your own nation, religion, group, political party, and country, so that you can make yourself famous for generations to come, isn't it? What you are thinking about now and what you do on weekdays is for the more than 5 million people in Jinjiang City, and even this time you came to visit the old man, you did not forget to take the opportunity to make a profit, and borrowed the words of the general manager to get 20 million yuan of development funds for Jinjiang. ”
"Hehe, uncle, when you say this, why do I think I am quite noble and great?"
"Of course, because although you are doing mortal things, your mind has long surpassed the realm of mortals and has reached a new height."
Chang Ning sighed, reached out and picked up the wine bottle to fill a glass for Ning Xiaohua, "Uncle, I love to hear what you say, drink and drink, and talk while drinking." ”
"I mean that your ideological realm has reached the height of a sage, what is a sage, a sage is those who live by reason and are detached people, they are clear-headed, know when to enter, when to retreat, what to want, what not to want, the goal of their life, is to pursue health, wealth, freedom, have their own thoughts and conform to the code of conduct of human society, can freely dispose of their own time, family harmony and happiness, get along harmoniously with society and nature, basically have gotten rid of fame, status, The shackles of money, their own destiny in their own hands, free in advance and retreat, knowledgeable, civilized language, noble behavior, reasonable, optimistic and benevolent, is the mainstay of civilized society, sages, is the jewel of human beings, itself has great value, but unfortunately, they only escaped the shackles of secular affairs, but can not escape the constraints of time and space, and finally can not enter the upper space of life, they are often only one step away from the truth, if they can be enlightened, or guided by the masters, they can do their best, meditation, Purifying the mind, through cultivation, can achieve the goal of complete detachment, birth, mindfulness, and transcendence, and finally transcend time and space and enter the fairyland. ”
Listening to Ning Xiaohua's words, Chang Ning sighed and said: "This is also too noble and ethereal, easy to advance and retreat, knowledgeable, civilized language, noble behavior, reasonable, optimistic and benevolent, easy to advance and retreat, I have always been like this, reasonable, I can also do it, optimistic and benevolent, it is my nature, as for the three items of knowledge, language civilization, and noble behavior, I can't do it, and I can't do it if I kill me." ”
"So, in essence, you are between a mortal and a sage, you are only thirty years old, and I believe that at the age of fifty, you will be able to reach the height of a quasi-sage like the old man."
Chang Ning smiled: "Uncle, you mean, our old man is a quasi-sage?" ”
"Of course, he has not completely freed himself from the shackles of worldly affairs, and at most he can only be regarded as a quasi-sage."
"What about yourself, uncle, as far as your philosopher's thinking and understanding are concerned, it should not be at a low level?" Chang Ning asked evilly.
Ning Xiaohua learned from Chang Ning's appearance, shrugged his shoulders, and said unashamedly: "As far as human nature is concerned, in our Ning family, the master, your father, and I are all sages, I ignore the affairs of the family, regardless of the disturbances in the world, I have long been a sage, to a certain extent, I am a little higher than the realm of the old man." ”
"Hehe, you just blow, blow hard, as long as you don't blow the sky out, uncle, don't worry, I promise not to report to the old man."
After drinking all the wine in the glass, Chang Ning fell on the bed happily.
Ning Xiaohua kicked Chang Ning, and scolded with a smile: "Stinky boy, how do you talk to your elders, I am also your uncle." ”
"Hehe, I want money when I meet, I want to return the philosopher, and the sage, you pull it down, uncle, put gold on your face, I am a junior, and I am panicked for you."
Ning Xiaohua said with a smile: "Don't believe it, you kid, I am not only a sage, but I can also be an immortal in the future." ”
"Hehe, what do you call an immortal?"
Raising his voice, Ning Xiaohua said: "Immortals, that is, those who live spiritually and virtuously, they already know the mystery of the universe, the true meaning of life, the evolution of the thirty-six dimensions of space, and the essence and meaning of life, they have not only gotten rid of money, fame, status, beauty, but also got rid of the constraints of time and space, at ease, carefree, immortals are proficient in the mystery of thinking, know the mechanism of energy interaction, and can basically do what they want, Life has become a fun game, death has become a beautiful yearning, they will not care too much about the suffering of the world, and the ordinary people will never come and go, and mortals do not interact too much, so with you to describe, the immortals generally live in seclusion by the mountains and rivers, the scenery of the mountains and rivers, pretending to be a small citizen, living a pastoral life without contention, they like to be alone, but also like the level of confidants and friends, do not like to be lively, drinking tea, playing chess, reading, meditation is their characteristics, sometimes they can play with ants for a day, I am willing to compete with the birds to sing, as for the bird's voice is good, or their own voice is good, but they don't hang on to their hearts, as long as it's fun, they will never get tired of it......"
Chang Ning listened and asked evilly: "Uncle, have you ever seen such a person?" "No mistakes, no skipping words.
Ning Xiaohua paused for a moment, "I'm not looking for something to pursue." ”
"Well, well, it seems that I can save the 100,000 yuan I promised just now, immortals, how can I use money."
Ning Xiaohua shouted, "That's not good, I still have to spend money to cultivate immortals and find immortals?" ”
"Hehe, it turns out that your fairy world also circulates RMB."
Kicked Chang Ning again, Ning Xiaohua said in a heartfelt manner: "Stinky boy, this is the cost of the immortal to lead the way for you, get up, I will take you to see the old man and the old lady." ”
