Cultivation of mind and body
An old general once visited the army where he served as a soldier and said to everyone sincerely that no matter what we do or what work we do, we must continue to cultivate ourselves. Studying on the ground can purify the body and strengthen our skills and ability to do things. In particular, we must often cultivate our mind and nature and cultivate our moral integrity and behavior.
In real life, some comrades cannot understand and treat mind cultivation and self-cultivation together. They only focus on external modification and despise inner cultivation. There are a few people who are often unable to get rid of the fetters of fame. When it comes to learning, they do not work hard to learn knowledge and grow their talents. They will do whatever it takes to get a diploma or a certificate. When looking at positions, they do not work hard to make achievements in their own positions. Instead, they are distracted and restless; they cannot treat interests correctly, but they cannot withstand tests and temptations, and their ideals and beliefs are shaken.
The ancients said: "If you want to cultivate your body, you must first correct your mind." Cultivation of the mind is the inherent requirement and essential characteristic of self-cultivation. To cultivate one's self, one must first cultivate and rectify the mind. A person's outlook on life and values ??are tilted, and his personality and image are distorted. It often starts from not paying attention to the purification of the soul and the cultivation of deep thoughts. If the mind is not right, the body will be crooked. If you are too selfish and have excessive selfish desires, you will inevitably get sick and harm yourself and others; if you are too greedy and have a desire for profit, you will inevitably become greedy for money and forget your righteousness at the sight of profit; if you are too playful and distracted, you will inevitably become cynical and lose your ambition by playing with things; if you have evil thoughts, If your mind is not right, you will inevitably pretend to be someone in front of others and hide your sword in secret...
Cultivation of the body is the external manifestation of cultivating the mind and rectifying the mind. The key to cultivating the mind is to practice the practice of self-cultivation. Know first, act first. The unity of knowledge and action, the cultivation of moral integrity and the purity of conduct require us to examine ourselves three times and think twice before acting when encountering problems. In the face of hard work, think seriously about how to lead by example and fulfill one's duties; in the face of contradictions and difficulties, think seriously about how to face difficulties and practice them; in the face of "feasting and feasting", think seriously about Think about how you can keep your body as pure as jade and emerge from the mud without being stained. To transform the cultivation of mind and nature into the cultivation of moral integrity and conduct, we need to start from scratch. Don’t neglect good deeds because they are small, and don’t do them because they are small evils.
A person should not miss out on real progress because of a false reputation, do not lose personal dignity because of selfish interests, and should not lose eternal hatred because of a stray thought, but should be diligent, honest, modest, and Frugality and honesty are the foundation of one's life, while laziness, turmoil, arrogance, extravagance and greed are lifelong precepts.
It can be seen that cultivating the mind and cultivating the body are very important to our lives, and we cannot neglect the two.
