#Yin Fu Jing: #The heart is born from things, #dies from things, #The key lies in the eyes
In our daily lives, thoughts and desires often do not come out of thin air, but are triggered by external stimuli. The more we cling to an external goal or object, the easier it is for us to be bound by it, and even lose our direction and become mentally distressed. In serious cases, it may even lead to a collapse in life.
There is an important concept in Yin-Yang philosophy: "The key lies in the eyes", which means that the turning point between "life" and "death" often depends on what a person observes and pays attention to with his eyes.
For example:
When I see others in love, I long for their company.
Seeing others buy houses makes me anxious
Seeing others succeed, I get extremely excited.
Our hearts are originally pure, but because of contact with "things", various "mechanisms" arise. This is what is called "the mind is born from things."
For example:
Being too attached to feelings can easily lead to losing your rationality
I was too eager to buy a house, but ended up being overwhelmed by the mortgage.
Being too eager to succeed, you end up taking shortcuts
If you are overly attached to external "things", you will easily be trapped, harmed, and destroyed by these things.
For example:
Some people get angry when reading the same information, while others don’t care.
The same news may affect some people for the whole day, while others may take it as inspiration.
The mind is born from things, dies from things, and the opportunity lies in the eyes. This sentence seems simple, but it explains the most basic and most critical influence.
What we see, how we judge, how we choose, all of this comes from the "heart's eyes".
There is no good or bad in external things, judging good or bad
Chance is not in the sky, life and death are in the heart
