Chapter 515
"Real person" is an ideal personality. "Immortal person" is the object of belief among Taoist practitioners.
The first view of the images of "real person" and "immortal".
What is a "real person"?
The real person is equal to the heavenly beings, the supreme beings, and the gods beings. Of course, they are definitely equal and indifferent at the level of "Tao", but this also expands the scope of the "real person".
1. In ancient times, true people were not against few people, were not strong, and were not good at teaching. If they were not, they would not regret their mistakes, and they would not be satisfied with themselves when they were right. If they were not, they would not be able to climb high, they would not be wet when they entered water, and they would not be hot when they entered fire. This is why they knew that they could climb to the false path.
2. The ancient real people did not sleep or dream, felt no worries, and their food was unwilling to be satisfied, and their breathing was deep. The real people's breathing was shallow with their heels, and the people's breathing was throat.
3. The ancient real people did not know how to talk about life or die. They did not feel happy when they came out, and they did not get along. They went there and came out in a row.
4.
5. Therefore, if they like one, they do not like one, they are one, they are not one, they are one, they are one, they are one, they are one, they are one, they are one disciples, and they are not one disciples, and the heaven and man do not win each other, which is called the real person.
"Real people" do not bully the young, do not be complacent about success, do not use their cleverness to play tricks, do not regret even if they have mistakes, do not think they are proud of themselves, do not be afraid of falling, do not be afraid of drowning when they enter water, do not be afraid of burning to death when they are comforted by gains and losses, can get along calmly.
This shows that "real people" are people who are calm in their minds, do not care about honor, disgrace, gains and losses, and can get rid of paranoia and have great wisdom.
The real person does not dream when he sleeps, does not have any worries when he wakes up, and does not have the desire for his mouth, abdomen, ears and eyes; his breathing is deep, reaching the dantian and reaching the heels.
The difference between real people and ordinary people is that ordinary people have short life breath, and their breathing is only as good as their throat.
This shows that "real person" is very different from ordinary people, and he can resolve the tangle of lust and mind.
Real people do not attach to life, do not hate death, and follow everything naturally, regard life and death as one's coming and going, do not be happy when coming and going, and do not resist when going.
This is because the real person knows the source of life well, so he does not forget what comes from it; he can also listen to the consequences of death, so he does not seek what he ends with.
Therefore, "real people" can take life and death lightly and break the confusion of life and death.
"Real people" are born natural people. They do not use their minds to damage the great way, nor do they use artificial factors to help nature.
He forgot everything around him, his face was indifferent and peaceful, his denomination was simple and strict, and his joys and anger were in harmony with the four seasons.
Therefore, "real person" is naturally inaction, and his life experience is connected with nature.
"Real person" transcends good and bad, gets rid of the relative distinction between human mind, forgets beauty and evil, and is also sent to love and hate, and is in harmony with the way of heaven, and is pure and one.
People keep the truth and simplicity and become disciples with heaven; at the same time, they follow the customs and become disciples with others; they do not deviate from the laws of heaven or from human affairs.
For this reason, the heaven and man do not repel each other, do not compete and win, but are united in the underworld, and reach the same realm as the self, the host and the guest, the heaven and man, the real person is the real person.
Therefore, "real person" is a person with a peaceful expression, a calm mind, a light-hearted view of life and death, a free spirit, and a natural inaction.
What is an "immortal"?
For immortals, they use medicine to nourish their bodies and prolong their lives with techniques, so that they will not cause internal diseases and external troubles. Even if they look at them for a long time, they will not change their old bodies. If they have the same way, they will not be difficult. " "Immortals" can live forever, which is the essential characteristic of immortals.
It is precisely because immortals know the way of immortality, can live a long life and be able to live forever, and pine and cypress are eternal, that they can become the object of faith and pursuit of the Taoist practitioners.
The immortal's "immortality" also separates it from ordinary people and becomes a special thing. It can be said that the "immortal" is an existence different from ordinary people in the world.
The reason why "immortals" can exist is because there is a universal nature in the world that "the beginning must be a death, and the existence must be a death", and there is also a special nature in "the beginning must be an end, and the heaven and earth are endless; it means that life must be dead, and turtles and cranes will live forever."
"Those who are different from others cannot be eliminated at all." Moreover, people's cognitive ability is limited, and the things to be recognized are infinite. You cannot deny the existence of "immortals" just because of their limited cognitive ability.
Even if there is a very bright, those with a tangible figure cannot be seen completely. Even if there is a very clever one, those who also have a sound cannot be heard all. Even if there is a big chapter and a high-end and a high-end one, those who always walk on are as many things as they do not walk on. Even if there is a wisdom of Yu Yi and harmonious, those who are common knowledge cannot be seen as many things that are not known. What is the difference between all things? Besides, those who are immortals have a full hand and bamboo. How can the way to immortality be nothing?
The special existence of "Immortals" must be very different from ordinary people, and even the opposite of the likes and dislikes of ordinary people.
What's more, immortals have different interests and different paths, regard wealth as misfortune, regard glory as filth, use thick play as dust, and reputation as morning dew." Indigenous people are eager for fame and fortune, and are greedy for wealth, while immortals are calm and indifferent, regard fame and fortune as virtual things, and regard high positions as important burdens.
Moreover, "When seeking immortality and practicing the ultimate path, it depends on ambition, not on wealth and honor." Therefore, immortals must have a firm mind and determination to overcome difficulties, resist temptations, and persevere in the long way to seek immortality.
Because of "five tones and eight sounds, Qing Shang is in trouble, and those who are also weak in intelligence are also lost.
The bright and gorgeous ones are beautiful and beautiful, and the ones are hurt by the bright and elegant ones. The ones are comfortable and elegant, the wine is fragrant and the wine is chaotic, and the ones are confused. The appearance is charming, the quality of the destiny is destructive, and the life is cut off. The brightly colored external world will damage people's lives. Therefore, the immortal is a person with weak desires, and he will not indulge in the desires of ears, eyes, mouth and stomach; the immortal is a person with quiet and inaction, and will not pursue worldly fame and fortune.
"Immortals" not only "can snive in the sky above and swim in the rivers below", but also "can climb the void and follow the scenery, hold the clouds and raise the glows of the morning glow, absorb the mellow essence of the black yellow, drink it, drink it, eat it, eat it, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, beauties, and beauties."
He is light and ethereal, and does not live in the world; he is free, unrestrained, and omnipotent. He can also "a cow turns into a tiger, an old woman becomes a turtle, a branch separates into a willow, a young woman becomes a stone, and a death rebirth, and a man and a woman change his body." He can freely change his body shape and not be restricted and bound by external body.
Therefore, "Immortal" is a person who is very free in both form and spirit.
Looking at the images of "real person" and "immortal person", we can see that "real person" and "immortal person" are both very ordinary people, elegant and unconventional, and indifferent, and they are all perfect personalities in their ideals.
However, there are still big differences in form and expression between "real person" and "immortal person".
Therefore, "real person" cannot be equal to the "immortals" of Taoism or are completely the same in terms of connotation.
What's more, the real people in ancient times should have created empty texts and use unreachable things to deceive the future, so what should I ask for?
"Real person" or "God man" is essentially anthropomorphic metaphors of the existence of Tao itself and an ideal personality. The "Immortals" in Taoism are essentially manifested as a fundamental object of faith.
The ‘metaphor’ is ‘realized’ in the religious belief and behavior system, and becomes the ‘real’ life form that is long-lasting and immortal…
However, the image source of the 'immortal' as the form of faith is undoubtedly the metaphor of Zhuangzi's 'real person' and 'god man'."
There is a transformation relationship between "real person" and "immortal person" from the "metaphor" of life to its "reality".
So, as the source of the image of "real person", what is the specific difference between "real person" and its original image after achieving this transformation into "immortal person"?
The following will try to make a specific comparison of the images of "real person" and "immortal person" from the perspective of life and death, realm and form, etc.
The real person is not attached to life or hates death. He believes that life and death are like day and night, and are in a constant natural change, so people should accept the arrangement of life and death with peace of mind.
As the saying goes, "A large piece carries me with form, works hard for life, relieves me with old age, and relieves me with death. Therefore, those who are good at my life are the reason for good death." Human life and death are one, and we should not like this and hate the other.
You must understand that following natural changes can eliminate worldly human feelings and sorrows, so as not to be disturbed by external objects in order to maintain inner peace.
Because death is just the extinction of the body, the spiritual essence of life has returned to "Tao".
Therefore, the "real person" will not take into account the advantages and disadvantages of life and death. He "does not know why he lives, does not know why he dies", and does not have the worries of life and death.
