The most precious thing in life is to maintain inner clarity. Walking through the world, witnessing the ups and downs of human emotions, experiencing the ups and downs of the world, it is inevitable to be swept up by impatience, troubled by distractions, gradually becoming anxious, conflicted, and utilitarian, losing pure essence, and living a heavy and tired life.
A person with a clear heart is not disturbed by worldly noise, nor bound by gains and losses. They are indifferent to the hustle and bustle of the world, see through the truth and falsehood of human relationships, and still maintain purity and clarity, without comparison, entanglement, or impatience. They can keep their true feelings, stabilize their emotions, and live transparently and freely.
To live a relaxed and comfortable life, one must learn to simplify their inner self. Clear away unnecessary anxiety and distractions, let go of meaningless personal entanglements, and quit excessive desires and obsessions. There is no need to force everything to go as planned, no need to please everyone, no need to dwell on past regrets. With a simple heart, life will naturally be smooth and gentle.
Life is originally a practice, cultivating one’s state of mind and crossing oneself. Maintain a clean and pure heart, accept the impermanence of the world, tolerate the shortcomings of the world, be calm and composed in the face of things, and treat others sincerely and gently. Not trapped in the heart, not troubled by emotions, not dwelling on the past, not afraid of the future.
The rest of our lives are long, may we all be able to hold onto our inner clarity and tenderness. Living quietly in a restless world, slowly healing in ordinary years, with a warm heart, clear eyes, living calmly, and living a peaceful life.
