Cultivate a clear and indifferent state of mind

Too much greed for a person, indulging in something, is tantamount to investing in the sea, and the desire to be fragrant and the head is hot, is tantamount to jumping into the fire pit.

Those who keep their own things and are not greedy can always maintain peace. Those who always want to figure out other things will definitely suffer.

If a person does not speak credit, then everything will be lost.

Stupid people like to be self-sufficient, and people with low spiritual realm are self-righteous.

Poor and low-lying people pretend to be arrogant in front of others. Although they seem a bit hypocritical, they still have a bit of arrogance. The treacherous person is deceiving the world, and he enjoys squandering, but he does not even have a heart.

Even the most intelligent people must not hide their own shortcomings while at the same time having the strengths of others; even the most stupid people will not give up their strengths, but use things they are not good at.

It is the most unfair thing in the world to evaluate the merits of historical figures based on one's success or failure. It means that you can't talk about heroes with success or failure.

Those who are greedy and arrogant, after being awarded gold, still regret that they did not get jade. They were sealed as the Duke and still complained that they were not sealed as marquis. This kind of person is not satisfied with the food. He thinks that the rough rice is better than the food. The cloth is warmer than the leather. Although he is a civilian, he lives better than the royal family.

People who often have fun at the banquet can't be regarded as a good family. They are indulged in sensuality. The scholars who are too enjoyable in their habits are not a good scholar. Officials who are too famous and too important are not a loyal and good minister.

As long as one has the idea of ​​self-interest, then fortitude will become weak, wisdom will become ignorant, and kindness will become fierce, and integrity will be polluted, thus ruining the character of a lifetime.

Therefore, the ancients were not greedy, so that they could spend a lifetime in the world.

Most of the children of the wealthy families who grew up were self-sufficient, greedy, and chasing power without scruple. If you don't use the high-mindedness of Dunpin to resist yourself and cultivate a clean and indifferent state of mind, the flames of desire will hurt yourself even if you don't hurt others.
