The grass of wilderness

August 30, 2006

In a conversation with one of his disciples, MengTze said:
“On the hills, there is a narrow path, whenever it is passed by human, then that path way will be getting wider, however, if it has never been passed by human, so in a short while that path way will disappear, due to the growth of wild grass and coarse grass.”

So is in human’s living, the morality of the human is just like that narrow path way. Every moment, we always have to walk through it, always revising it, always developing it, because if we are not being aware, if we are not paying attention to its implementation in our life, so we will soon being covered with narrow mindedness, covered by greediness, covered by hypocrisy, covered with depravity morals which will sink our good deeds, closing our eye of the inner self.

A good morality can not be obtained by only sitting quietly, can not be achieved by knowing which is good and which is bad. More over, it can not be achieved just by thinking of it.

A good morality is like a path way that we have to go through everyday, so that we will make it always being taken care of, the longer the time the wider it would be and it would settle in our inner self, becoming the path of life which is deeply planted, becoming a good deeds that flows naturally and as clear as the water in the river which is giving life for its surrounding.

Xiu Dao (Tao practitioners) people have to make morality as the core of self revision.

Revising the moral has to be through implementing it into our daily life, bits by bits, through efforts not tiredly, through spiritual processing, through close observation on oneself, through understanding about the natural truth, through the guidance of the way of life of the universe (Dao)
