This Heart Is Upturned

All the ways of heaven and earth seek from the outside. Those who cultivate immortals seek immortality, those who practice qi seek strength, and those who practice gods seek transcendence. Everyone in the world believes that the great road lies in heaven, on earth, in martial arts, and in spiritual roots. He could only guard his heart, guard a ruined monument in an ancestral hall, hold a volume of "Traditional Studies", and sit there for three years, closing his eyes and studying bamboo. He does not cultivate the blood energy, does not draw the spiritual energy, does not worship the immortal sect, and does not attain the divine status. Just cultivating the mind is the principle, only keeping the good knowledge, and only practicing the unity of knowledge and action. There is nothing outside the heart, and there is no reason outside the heart. If you have a righteous mind, all evil will not invade; if you have a sincere mind, heaven and earth will respond. The world laughs at him for being stupid, but he keeps his true heart to himself. When the dust settles, all the gods, demons, and eternal avenues will bow their heads——
