It means: attaching importance to health is like attaching importance to great misfortune. What do you mean, attaching importance to health is like attaching importance to great misfortune? I am unfortunate because I have this body. If I don't have this body, what great misfortune will I have? Therefore, only by serving the world with your attitude can you entrust the world to him, and only by loving your body can you entrust the world to him.
In this chapter, Lao Tzu emphasized the importance of your body, thinking that an ideal wise man should first put your body first, so that everyone can entrust him with the important task of the world.
We always say that the body is the front 1 and fame and fortune is the back zero. Without this 1', it is useless to add 0 after it. The body should be put in the first important position. Words say this, but actions always run counter to it.
In order to earn money for my career and learn to overdraw, my body still confidently thinks that I am busy with my career and my body can be put behind my career. It only works when my body is seriously overdrawn, so that I can put down the flies and try my best to help my body. Fortunately, it is not too late to mend, and there is still a chance to return to normal, but it often hurts. There are still many people who are powerless, dragging their broken bodies and even losing their lives, so it is impossible to make money in their careers.
It is human nature to ignore what you have and pay attention to what you don't have or lose, and your body is not valued. You didn't realize the value of health until the disease came. So I want people to treat their bodies as a serious illness. Pay attention to health, not money, power, fame and fortune, honor and disgrace.
Returning to the inside, God will not leak out, people will feel more secure and powerful, and people will be able to shoulder heavy responsibilities. Originally thought that only hard-working people can shoulder heavy responsibilities, but in fact, they can return to their hearts. Paying attention to health is the foundation of everything. But this is not to let people do nothing,
Pay attention to the body is not idle. Imagine a person who has no goals and nothing to do. Can you be well? This may be faster than busy people's health. People are idle, often distracted, irregular in work and rest, and have no sense of value and existence in their hearts. Paying attention to their bodies requires self-discipline and hard work. Maintaining the body is not as accurate as the word self-cultivation. Health is not only the cultivation of the body, but also the cultivation of the mind. Physical and mental health, smooth internal rules, in order to do things more effectively, in order to undertake major events. On the surface, the mind is clearer and the logical thinking ability is better, but more importantly, people will be sharper and have better inspiration and intuition. I have had many such experiences and submitted a report to the leader. It seems that the leader didn't read the low-level mistakes such as pointing out your typo directly. Why? Because they have better intuition.
Edison said: "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration, but one percent inspiration is often more important than ninety-nine percent perspiration. English: Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent inspiration. Without that one percent inspiration, all the inspiration in the world is just a bucket of sweat. But in the past, only the first half of the sentence was publicized, and many people didn't hear the second half, thinking that hard work was enough. His second half sentence is very important: 1% inspiration is the most important, even more important than 99% sweat. Where did the inspiration come from? I understand that people's perception and understanding of invisible deep things is the ability to connect with things and the environment and obtain information higher than logical thinking.
Man proposes, God disposes. Why, because of limited manpower, everyone is a fleeting point in the long river of the universe. So we should learn to do things with the help of natural forces. Anyone who can achieve great things must know how to use the power of heaven. With the help of Tian Li, it is necessary to conform to the main road.
The law of man, the law of earth, the law of heaven and the law of Tao are all natural. So follow the way of nature. There is a saying in Huangdi Neijing: "Those who know, in Yin and Yang, sum up the number of plans, in diet, in daily life, do not waste, so they can be in harmony with God, and get to the age of heaven and spend a hundred years." In other words, people who know the way of keeping in good health can learn from Yin and Yang of heaven and earth, follow the methods and skills of keeping in good health, eat moderately, work regularly, and work hard, so that they can enjoy a harmonious natural life. The purpose of health care and disease prevention can be achieved by adapting to the climate changes of the four seasons, adjusting the spirit and making the human body adapt to the laws of natural growth and collection. In addition to the moderate adjustment throughout the year, we should also have a regular life at four o'clock a day. The concept of four seasons includes four seasons in a day and four seasons in a year. The four seasons of a day refer to four obvious time periods: morning, middle, evening and midnight, which are related to the ups and downs of Yin and Yang in nature. Every day, it changes between Yin and Yang, and Yin and Yang intersect at midnight, that is, between midnight and 1. The human body should conform to the laws of nature, work and rest on time, and go to bed before midnight.
So what is our position on ourselves? If we want to shoulder the heavy responsibility and achieve something in this life, we should be more self-disciplined and find effective ways to exercise and cultivate our minds, otherwise we will not be able to keep up with our ambitions. A happy life also needs physical and mental health as the foundation. Being a self-disciplined person is the first. Confucianism also puts self-cultivation on managing the family and governing the country.
When you are seriously ill, people will abandon all desires and focus on healing and restoring health.
Body and mind are one. If you overdraw your body for a long time, your energy will be damaged.
