Love asks: "The best is only for all hearts, fear of The world's affairs are bound to be inexhaustible." The Master said: "The heart is the principle, and the world has things outside the heart. Are there principles outside the heart?" Ai said: "As a matter of filial piety to the father and loyalty to the king, Trust in making friends and benevolence in governing the people, there are many principles in it, and we must not ignore it." The teacher sighed: "This has been hidden for a long time, how can I understand it in one sentence? As far as the question is concerned, if you want to serve your father, shouldn’t you go to your father to seek the principle of filial piety? If you serve the king, shouldn’t you go to the king to seek the principle of loyalty? The principles are all in this heart, and the heart is the principle. This heart is not covered by selfish desires, it is the principle of heaven, and there is no need to add any external principles. Serving the king is loyalty, making friends and governing the people is trust and benevolence. Just work hard on letting go of human desires and keeping in mind the principles of nature." Ai said: "I heard this from Mr. Love. I already feel that I have some enlightenment, but I still have some lingering thoughts. For example, when it comes to my father, there are many things like gentleness and calmness. Do I need to pay attention to it? ”

The teacher said: "How can you not be particular about it? You just have a mind, and you are just emphasizing on abandoning human desires and keeping the natural principles. Just like emphasizing winter warmth, you just have to fulfill your filial piety, and I am afraid there is not a trace of human desire mixed in. Emphasis on summer heat, I just want to fulfill this heart of filial piety, and I am afraid there is a trace of human desire mixed in: I just want to get this heart. If no one wants this heart, it is purely natural and a heart that is sincere in filial piety. In winter, it is natural to think about the coldness of the parents, and then naturally think about it. To seek the truth of warmth; Xia Shi naturally considers the warmth of his parents and seeks the truth of filial piety. These are the conditions for the sincerity and filial piety to come from. With this condition, for example, the heart of sincerity and filial piety is the root of a tree, and many conditions are the branches and leaves. You must first have the roots and then the branches and leaves. It is not like finding the branches and leaves first and then planting the roots. If a filial son has deep love, he must have harmony; if he has harmony, he must have a pleasant appearance; if he has a pleasant appearance, he must have a graceful appearance. This will happen naturally if he has deep love as his root.”

Zheng Chaoshuo asked: "The highest good must also be sought from things?"

The teacher said: "The highest good is just the extreme of this mind that is pure and pure. What's more? How can we seek for things? "

Chao Shuo said: "How can we be warm and caring, and how can we support each other properly?" Chaoshuo said. It is the best thing to do, so it has the power of learning and speculation."

The teacher said: "If it is just about the temperance and the appropriateness of worship, you can talk about it in one or two days, and it will be useful. What is the point of learning and thinking? But when you are warming up, you only need this mind to be pure and pure. When you are worshiping, you only need this mind to be pure and pure. Therefore, although the saints still add the teaching of "jingyi", if only those rituals are performed properly, it is called the supreme good. Even if you are acting like an actor and you perform many gentle and caring rituals, you can also call it the supreme good. That’s it. ”

Love has its own meaning every day.

Xu Ai asked: "The best is only pursued from the heart, and I am afraid it cannot exhaust the world's affairs. The teacher said: "The heart is the principle." How can there be anything in the world that is outside the heart, or principles outside the heart? "

Xu Ai said: "For example, filial piety in serving parents, loyalty in serving the monarch, trust in making friends, and benevolence in governing the people. There are many truths in these things, and I am afraid we have to examine them carefully. . ”

The gentleman sighed: “This kind of statement has deceived people for a long time. Where can people understand it in one sentence? Now let’s talk about the question you asked. For example, if you serve your father, shouldn’t you seek filial piety from your father? To serve the monarch, is it not possible to seek loyalty from the monarch? To make friends and govern the people, shouldn’t we seek trust and benevolence from our friends and people? The principles of filial piety, loyalty, trustworthiness, and benevolence are in the heart, so the heart is the principle. This heart is not blocked by selfish desires, it is the law of heaven, and does not need any addition from the outside. With this purely natural heart, when used to serve parents, it is filial piety; when used to serve the monarch, it is loyalty; when used to make friends and govern the people, it is trustworthiness and benevolence. You just need to work hard to get rid of human desires and keep the natural principles in your heart.

"

Xu Ai said: "After listening to Mr.'s words, I feel that I have some understanding. But some old views still linger in my mind and cannot be completely eradicated. For example, when you serve your parents, don’t you also need to pay attention to many details such as how to keep them warm in the winter and cool in the summer? The husband said, "How can you not be particular about it?" We just need to know the fundamentals, and we just need to pay attention to how to get rid of human desires and preserve the principles of nature. For example, when it comes to how to keep parents warm in the cold winter, all you have to do is fulfill your filial piety, lest there be any selfish desires mixed in; how to keep your parents cool in the hot summer, all you have to do is fulfill your filial piety, lest there be the slightest selfish desire mixed in. His selfish desires are mixed in with it. Everything you do is based on your own heart. If you have no selfish desires in your heart, it is purely natural, and you sincerely respect your parents, then in winter, you will naturally worry about your parents getting cold, and you will naturally think of ways to keep them warm; in summer, you will naturally worry about your parents getting hot, and you will naturally Find ways to keep them cool. These methods are all born from the heart of sincerity and filial piety. You must first have this heart of sincerity and filial piety before you can have such an item. For example, a tree, the roots are the heart of sincerity and filial piety, and the items are the branches and leaves. A tree must have roots first, and then branches and leaves, instead of finding branches and leaves first, and then planting roots. "The Book of Rites" says: "A filial son who loves deeply must be kind; a son who is kind must have a pleasant look; a filial son who has a pleasant look must have a graceful appearance." ’ All of this must have deep love as the foundation, and this will naturally happen. ”

Zheng Chaoshuo asked: “Does the highest good also have to be sought from things? ”

The teacher said: “My heart is so pure that heaven’s principle is the highest good. How can I seek it in things?” Please try to give some examples. ”

Zheng Chaoshuo then said: “Just like honoring your parents, how to keep them warm in winter and cool in summer, how to provide them with proper care, you must find the right way to be considered the best. Therefore, there is the skill of erudition, interrogation, careful thinking, and discernment. ”

The teacher said: “If it is just the specific methods of keeping warm in winter and cool in summer, and providing proper nourishment, it can be explained clearly in a day or two, so why is there any need for knowledge and speculation? Just when doing things to keep your parents warm in winter and cool in summer, you can only let your heart be pure and sincere and reach the heavenly principles; when doing things to serve and support your parents, you can let your heart be pure and sincere and reach the heavenly principles. And to do this, if you don't have the skills to learn and think, you will inevitably miss a thousand miles. Therefore, even the saints emphasize "only the essence is the only one". If just doing the etiquette very well can be called the supreme good, then many of the people who are acting nowadays perform the etiquette of serving their parents extremely well, can we say that they have achieved the supreme good? ”

Xu Ai had another realization on this day.

Immediately sort out what you need to do today clearly. Less fear and more energy and determination.
