Huang litian's thief

"There are five thieves in heaven, and those who see them prosper" comes from Yin Fu Jing. Taoist classic Daozang interprets "Five Thieves" as "Jin Mu's Fire, Water and Earth". Although the literal meaning can be explained, the thief's meaning is far from the original meaning of Chinese characters. The thief's original intention was to destroy the shell with a knife and kill the injured person. Therefore, the interpretation of this article does not adopt the logic of "Jin Mu's fire, water and soil".

The literal interpretation of "there are five thieves in heaven, and those who see them prosper" is that "there is heaven" represents an inevitable trend, which means there are five kinds of harm to people; It means that as long as people understand the truth, they can be lucky and avoid evil, and everything goes well.

Let's see how experts in history explain this sentence.

Taigong said, "First the thief lives, then the thief lives, then the thief lives, then the thief lives, then the thief lives, then the thief lives. The thief's life disappears, and the world tastes it with life; The thief is in a hurry, and the world uses it to benefit; When a thief takes a letter, the world uses it to deal with it; Thieves work gracefully, but the world uses it to complain; Thieves try it, and the world regards it as small. 」

Guiguzi said: "The five thieves in the world are nothing more than thieves. This one is big and the other is small, and the small one is big. Heaven and earth cannot be gods." But not good for people. 」

Yan said, "The Yellow Emperor had the opportunity to steal his life and set out in the daytime; Yin and Zhou tried for thieves, and small ones destroyed big ones; Guan Zhong won the trust of a thief and became a vassal. Fan Li was eager to steal and took control of South Vietnam. Sean won the honor of stealing, but defeated the powerful Chu State. 」

Therefore, "life, things, time, work and spirit" are five descriptions of the state that may be harmful to people, and the harm will be beneficial, so there is also an opportunity to adapt to and take advantage of the development of the situation.

First, the life of a thief

The machine of life is qi, and the basis of all living things is breathing. Smooth gas, safe and long life. Life here refers to the mechanism and cycle of life. Inconsistency and disharmony of qi will affect the procedure and cycle of life. People's anger, dissatisfaction, frustration, rage, etc. Will damage their health.

The key to people's health is to keep calm. It is simple to say "harmony between the family and the family", but it is difficult to do it. The * * * caused by physiological impulse usually makes people waste their innate "Yang Qi" and "Yin Qi". Without proper restraint and reconciliation, it is difficult for people to be healthy.

Understanding the mechanism of "thief's fate" can also help us understand ourselves and adapt to social life. "If you want more, you will lose your heart. If you lose confidence, you will fail. If you fail, you will not be able to think. " The root of the living is the root of the dead. "Life and death are a process of continuation and transformation. The process of life is limited, and the threat of life is also a natural disaster, that is, "thief's life." "This is destiny takes a hand, there will always be disappointment, and it is difficult to be perfect. Death can change, improve, that is, evolve.

Second, thieves.

"the heart is born in things, dies in things, and the machine is in the eye." The desire of the human heart is born with foreign things, and it will die with foreign things. The reason for everything, that is to say, the medium that connects people's hearts with the outside world is the eyes.

Man's desire is to acquire material, and to acquire material is to survive better. But usually when people pursue material desires, they will lose their way and use the wrong power. Material desire leads to pursuit, but it loses its nature. "People die for money, birds die for food" is an obvious example of killing people because of things. "Tao Te Ching": "Without Shang Xian, the people will not dispute; Expensive and rare goods, so that people will not steal; If you can't see what you want, you won't be chaotic. If you don't know "thief", it will turn things into harm to society and individuals.

Third, be a thief.

There are days, months and seasons in the sky, and the operation of the sky is regular and trustworthy. The function of time is that the development of things must have its timeliness. If you pull out the seedlings, it will not only be ineffective, but also harmful. If you don't have the ability to expect things to develop, it will violate heaven and be punished.

If you move according to time and operate according to the law, you can get twice the result with half the effort. However, if we ignore the law of alternating seasons, we will not gain anything in agricultural production. The same nature and human society have different laws, development stages and time limits. If you subjectively think that "man can conquer nature", you will be punished by "thief".

Another meaning of "time" is to keep promises, and the days are executed regularly and on time. Acting according to heaven means punctuality and keeping promises. Credit, like justice, must be adhered to, all those who have credit will benefit from it, and those who break their promises will be punished by justice.

Credit and process time expectation are the key points of "stealing time". For individuals, it is a cloud that includes the whole life development process, and everything must have a certain time to develop and change. If you want to "go to heaven in one step", it violates the law of time and you are likely to be "stolen".

"Time" sometimes includes replacement, circulation and turnover. We should understand the mechanism of "time" and act according to the rules of time to avoid being hurt by "time". "Thieves" are afraid of "urgency", and once they are anxious, they will ignore the necessary development process time of things; Thieves should also pay attention to the different nature of things in different periods. Everything has a destiny and a development process.

Fourth, the work of thieves.

Stealing work is a bit difficult to understand. Merit is grace. If we understand it according to the full text of Yin Fujing, the merit of a thief should be the grace of a thief. The harm of kindness lies in kindness. There is a passage behind Yin Yin Jing: "Grace is born of harm, and harm is born of grace", which is the truth of mutual transformation between good and harm.

It's normal for heaven and earth to be unkind and help people through suffering, but kindness will bring many bad consequences. It is a natural principle to help others without asking for anything in return. God helps those who help others. There is no need to worry about helping others. From the perspective of system theory, it is gradually changing a person's luck and environment.

"Grace comes from harm" means that only when there is harm or danger will you feel that others' help is grace. "Misfortune comes from the mouth" is something that many people don't notice. When helping and giving others becomes the norm, others will regard it as their right. Once it is given or reduced, most people will feel resentful and hard to eliminate.

There are many people who help others and let others do things according to their own wishes. Therefore, they will inevitably produce filth and resentment, leading to the transformation of the relationship between "kindness and harm" Many good friends later framed each other to prevent the relationship between kindness and harm.

You shouldn't repay kindness. "Virtue is greater than life", and maintaining or giving vitality to other life is the greatest virtue. There is nothing to show off about helping others tide over the difficulties, and you don't have to think that others will definitely be rewarded. In this way, we can avoid the harm caused by grace.

Five, the thief god

God: Yes. From Shen Shi. Shen is the shape of lightning in the sky. The ancients thought that lightning was unpredictable and powerful, so it was called God. In other words, some hazards in the objective world are very difficult to detect and can be judged, so they are called "thief gods".

Man knows the God of his God, but he doesn't know whether his God is God or not. Storms and fine weather are the magic of nature, and people can easily recognize them. However, not many people can realize the natural laws such as "prosperity and decline", "fullness and loss" and "loss and deficiency".

"Thief God" is very difficult to guard against, because people's understanding of objective time is limited, and they don't know when "great defeat" will happen. Therefore, having a crisis mentality is the best way to prevent "thieves". There is always a sense of crisis, and you can't think that you won't have a tragedy. You never know, this is the "thief god"!

It turns out that it is very easy to know the thief god. It is enough to know that the laws of nature "flourish and decline" and "the loss is enough to make up". When you are at the peak, you should pay attention to your actions and things, and don't let yourself be too "prosperous" or reach the peak of deterioration that is about to turn into decline.

It is difficult for people to avoid the harm of "five thieves". But there is a shortcut, and that is to abide by moral norms and help others more. The whole world is a system, interacting with each other. Only by observing morality can we make ourselves smooth and avoid disaster.

Helping others is to make their environment better, and everything is the interaction of action and reaction. Helping others more is to improve your living environment and make your living environment have more positive information feedback. Everyone should understand that it is selfish to talk about morality and help others!
