With the continuous roar, after reading a volume of ancient simplified Chinese, Xiang Jian began to indulge in the next volume of ancient simplified Chinese.

The Supreme Taoist ancestor said: "Those who know others are wise, those who know themselves are wise. Those who overcome others are powerful, and those who overcome themselves are strong."

It means that people who can understand others are wise, and people who can understand themselves are wise. People who can defeat others are powerful, and people who can defeat themselves are real strong.

From childhood to adulthood, people have been trying to understand others, defeat others, and live to this day, only then can they realize that those clever and small methods are just to make more money or gain a reputation.

Some people say, isn’t it good to be famous if you have too much money? There is nothing wrong with it, but nothing better. The poor are burdened by food and clothing, while the rich are greedy.

Whether you are poor or rich, you will have troubles. Those who you envy and those you want to be actually have endless troubles like you.

Although the truth is simple, people just pretend to understand and then walk the same path. On the road, they keep thinking about understanding others and defeating others.

"Self-knowing", "self-resistance", those who know themselves are "clear". What is "clear"? People live in "ignorance", suffer the pain of ignorance, and have to bear the "fire of ignorance".

People’s emotions and all kinds of creations come from “ignorance”. If they can “clear”, there will be no “ignorance” and there will be no emotions and pain.

The one who conquers himself is "strong". That is, the only opponent of a person is himself. When a person understands himself, he will see his words and deeds, even those untouchable thoughts and thoughts are dominated by various desires and habits.

What does it mean to defeat yourself? If you can avoid being dominated by desire, you will be considered to defeat yourself.

People who drink alcohol are addicted to alcohol, people who gamble are addicted to gambling, and those who are good at women are fascinated by women; those who are good at power are bound by power, those who are good at fame are tired of fame; those who are good at profit are destroyed by profit...

People in the world are busy and want to make themselves stronger. But most people are working in the wrong direction. They think that defeating others is powerful. In fact, it is not. Being able to defeat others is just because they have the ability. Being able to defeat themselves is truly powerful!

There was a poor man who went up the mountain to chop firewood and found a lamp. So he wiped it with his torn clothes. Blue smoke came out of the lamp, and an old man with white beard appeared.

The old man said, "I am a fairy, since you have polished the lamp, I can satisfy your wish. You can speak, your room, money, rights, and beauty!"

The poor man thought about it and said, "I still can't be too greedy. I just want to live a life: as long as I have enough money, I'm not too busy doing something, I don't have much trouble, my family is safe, I have good health, and my life is dull."

After hearing this, the immortal old man said, "You want to enjoy a happy life! This is the life I live now, and I can't give it to you."

If this poor man really lets the life he wants, he probably feels that life is too dull...

What's the point of such a life?

The ordinary one wants to be bumpy, but the bumpy one wants to return to the ordinary.

Whether it is dull or bumpy, it is actually the "heart" that is creating. The "heart" has only one purpose: people are never satisfied. It is like when you are thirsty, you want to drink water, but when you drink salt water, you will feel even more thirsty after drinking it.

This is why every "successful person" is still busy in the world even if he becomes a wealthy person, even if he is famous all over the world. It’s not that they don’t want to stop, but that they can’t stop and their “heart” is not satisfied!

Being able to conquer the "heart" means that "the one who conquers himself is stronger"! Conquering oneself does not mean tying oneself and forcing oneself to do something or not.

To defeat yourself is to prevent yourself from being bound by anything or desire.

From the perspective of practice, this is called liberation. The so-called liberation means no longer clinging to things that were attached to in the past. When a person no longer clings to something or a habit, he loses the ability to command and manipulate himself, and he gains freedom.

In this sense, people must leave everything to achieve complete liberation. Of course, leaving does not mean that people do nothing, but that people do not be bound by those things and habits.

Drinking alcohol and being greedy for money is just a habit of being visible. Those that can be seen are more likely to "get out".

Those invisible "bound" often bind people for the rest of their lives. Letting go is not to avoid them, but to see or not, and the heart is not turbulent.

So how can you defeat yourself? First, use some small things to train your perseverance. Everyone has some minor problems and knows them, but they have never changed them seriously. For example: often drinking, often having sex...

There are still some plans and goals that I have always wanted to do, but I haven't persisted. For example: exercise, go to bed early and get up early...

People can choose one, set a short-term goal, and make themselves work hard to achieve it. If they can't achieve it, it's okay, at least it's not worse than before. If they achieve it, it means that they have become a little stronger. Simply put, this is to exercise perseverance.

People with perseverance have a higher probability of overcoming desires and habits, and more times when they subdue their "self-mind".

In addition, you can also learn the second method: awareness. Awareness is also called observation, which means knowing what you are doing at all times.

For example, knowing that you are angry; knowing that you are walking; knowing that you are dazed; knowing that you are aware of...

Awareness can be done by everyone, but everyone cannot continue to be aware. There is a principle of awareness: just know, not judge.

No welcome or give away, just see. If people practice repeatedly, they will find that the time for awareness will be longer and longer.

If you can be aware of it at all times, not only will you be aware of yourself, but you will be strong.

The right path in the three realms is vicissitudes of life!

The wonder of heaven and earth lies in its ability to turn decay into magic!

There are many immortals in the Three Realms today, and many immortals with great missions appear. Don’t underestimate everyone, maybe the one who comes to you is the Supreme Immortal.

The masters may not all live in the mountains and hide outside the world. Most of them practice in the world, practice silently, and do their best to do their destiny.

Maybe they are inconspicuous in their roles, but there is a motivation deep in their souls that drives them to do something, and they are extremely determined in their hearts about what they do.

Maybe they will be in high positions and important positions, but they will work hard to develop in a better direction for the entire Three Realms and the world, and devote all their abilities and talents.

Perhaps these immortals are simply like unknown travelers and passers-by, but they will use their own unique ways to benefit the people and benefit the humans and heaven...

Their existence may be famous, silent, silent, or violent, with different missions, but different from person to person.

They live and survive in the world, both in cultivation and in practice.

Experience yourself in life and doing things, further improve your wisdom and cultivation, and silently complete your mission.

Some of them understand their mission, some are just doing it but don’t know why; some are doing it with all their might, some are doubting their choices; some are awakened very early, while others are confused and different.

It is not perfect for a celestial immortal to enter the world. Once you get into the fetus, you will have a "mysterious" process. Generally, immortals with great missions usually know what they should do very quickly.

They often act smarter, sharper, and relatively more focused than ordinary immortals, so they are easier to master in certain skills and can usually grasp various knowledge faster and often serve their mission.

Generally, immortals who have a mission to come to the world will have various invisible corresponding enlightenment, prompts and protections during their growth so that they can clarify their mission as soon as possible and complete their tasks.

Today, the Three Realms are a very special time and space point. All kinds of masters and strange people gather together. The immortals and saints are coming in all directions, which is more than before. However, the real person does not reveal his appearance, and the revealing appearance is not the real person.

The earth is a holy place for self-cultivation, mind-cultivation, and enlightenment. The world has its own heart, and the world has its own unique function, carrying the pulse point of the circulation of the heavenly way, and this pulse point is of great importance.

Therefore, everything that happens in the three realms, or what is about to happen, has long been clear in the world.

Only high-level immortals and holy truths can understand these things. Like ordinary worldly life, the creatures in heaven and earth do not have the ability to understand these, and their levels are limited. It can be said that if you accidentally encounter the reincarnation of an immortal in the heaven on the road, they may not be outstanding in appearance, but what they do is absolutely unexpected.

Seeing magic in ordinary people is a major feature of the reincarnation of the masters of time and space today! Because only in this way, these masters with divine light and spiritual veins can better integrate into ordinary people and protect themselves from persecution by demons.

If there is positive energy, there will certainly be negative energy to enter the world.

This is relative, and it is also to temper people with missions so that they can experience themselves, sublimate their levels, and be better than before.
