“無為”是道的行為特點,有三個含義:第一“不妄為”《道德經》第十六章中,老子說了“不知常妄作兇”。這句話表示:你若不瞭解這個自然之“常”,不瞭解“道”的規律、規則、法則,而去瞎折騰、瞎胡鬧,那最後的結局必然是糟糕的。第二“不多為”人有所為,就有所不為。老子說“萬物將自化”的意思就是讓我們守住道、聚焦在做好自己上,而不要把瀏覽別人當成人生的主要任務。這樣,我們才能在有限的人生中,讓自己得到無限的自我成長和自我化育。第三“有所不為”看一個人不只是看他的做事能力,更要看他的胸懷格局。比如一個人做了好事,覺得自己了不起,唯恐別人不知道,於是總是有意無意地四處宣揚,這就不叫“無為”了!“無為”是發自內心去做,是順其自然去做,這種做好事多數時候都是不自知的。又比如,多數人都想有所得,而且希望得到的越多越好!但老子卻說做事要抓住關鍵,要想有所得就要有所舍——懂得舍,才能有那個得;如果私心過於膨脹,什麼都想得到、又什麼都不肯舍,那不但沒地方放自己想要的,反過來還必定把自己置於危險之中。從定到靜,從靜到無為,這是一個去習性、化秉性、圓滿天性的過程,老子告訴我們的方法是從有為到無為,最後到無所不為。這其中也是有一個次第在裡面的,修到最後,這些界定都不在了,我們做什麼都是順其自然的時候,那就是境界到了。“順其自然”這句話大家都會說,看起來也很簡單,但真正去做時也是最難、最偉大、也最平凡的!因為,真能做到順其自然,那就是開悟的狀態了!所以,真正證道的人從不是隱居深山或關在小房子中閉關修煉的。相反,真正厲害的人往往都隱藏在人群中,這就是所謂“小隱隱於野,中隱隱於市,大隱隱於朝”。只有在紅塵中煉心,在天地間盡責,才是最好的修行。而在“和諧身心我的責任,和諧家庭我的責任,和諧企業我的責任”中堅持做好自己,一旦因緣到了,結果才會自然發生。感恩您的閱讀,祝您一切美好,我們相約明天再見!
"Inaction" is the behavioral characteristic ofTao, which has three meanings:
First, "do not act indiscriminately"In the 16th chapter of Tao Te Ching, Laozi said, "It’s dangerousnot to know how to act normally." This sentence says: if you do not understandthe natural "norm", i.e. do not understand the the laws & rulesof Tao, but to mess around, you will certainly deserve a bad result. Second, "do not act too much"If there is something for you to do, there must be something not to be do. Laozipointed that "all things self-transform" really means that we shouldstick to Tao and focus on being ourselves, instead of browsing others as themain task of life. In this way, we can get unlimited self-growth andself-cultivation in our limited life.Third, "not do something"Look at a person not only by his action abilities, but also by his mindpattern.For example, when a person has done a good deed, he thinks he is great. He alwaysadvertises it everywhere intentionally or unintentionally lest others not know.This is not called "inaction"! "Inaction" is done fromthe heart naturally. This kind of good deeds are not self-aware mostly.For example, most people want something. The more, the better! But Laozisaid that we should grasp the key when doing things, and if we want to getsomething, we have to give up other things-- if we know how to give up, we can getsomething; if our selfishness is too inflated, we want everything and refuse togive up, then there is no place to put what we want ,and finally we must put ourselvesin danger.
From fixed to static, from static to inaction, this is a process of deletingbad habit, temperament, and perfectingnature. Laozi tells us that the method is from action to inaction, and finallyto everything will be achieved. There is also an order in it. At last whenall definitions are gone, and we let nature take its course in everything wedo, the realm has come. Everyone will say, "Let nature take itscourse". It looks very simple, but it is also the most difficult, thegreatest and the most mundane thing to do. Because, if you can really letnature take its course, that is the state of enlightenment!
Therefore, the real preacher never lives in seclusion inthe mountains or in a small house. On the contrary, the really powerfulpeople are often hidden in the crowd, which is the so-called "the small ishidden in the wild, the middle is hidden in the city, and the big is hidden inthe dynasty." Only practicingyour heart in the world of mortals and doing your duty between heaven and earthis the best practice. In "harmonious body and mind my responsibility,harmonious family my responsibility, harmonious enterprise myresponsibility", insist on being yourself well. Once lot comes, the resultwill occur naturally.
