Sometimes we see some people running, reading, studying, etc. every day. We think they are persisting deliberately and have strong willpower. In fact, it is not the case. The real reason is that they are no longer able to experience happiness due to their low-level interests. Before explaining this matter, let’s first talk about the level of consciousness we are in. One is the material level where material desires run rampant, and the other is the truth level full of natural operation principles. Before enlightenment, we see very real things and feel very happy at the material level. Many temptations such as lazy sleep, delicious food, games, and beautiful women will make us stop and stand still.
We know that we need to change, so we will deliberately study and learn, but we can't stick to it. In a moment, consciousness transcends the material level and peeks into the truth level of Tao, where we see the operation of nature, the change of seasons, the blooming and falling of flowers, etc. Every detail is full of logic, and at the level full of truth logic, there is also an original self. I am walking naked in the world. At that moment, I will feel my insignificance, ignorance, and shame. At that moment, I will feel that the material level is boring, and the pursuit of truth and better shaping of the original self will become the source of our happiness.
All learning and thinking are driven by happiness, not by deliberate perseverance. At that time, you will naturally get rid of the low-level interests of the material level. I am a trader, and those who want to learn trading can follow me.
