Qiu's Rhetoric（60）

　　Ma Xiaoqiu:Content with less desire,enter the higher realm

　　有句话这样说，＂顺则成人，逆则成仙＂，这句话的意思是告诫人们修身之道在于修心。凡夫俗子究其一生也不明白生命的真谛，这就导致我们在整个的生命过程中，都很容易地顺着我们的身心之欲去思考和行动。

　　There is a saying like this:“Going along people's habits is the‘mortal’,acting in the‘converse’is the saint.”This sentence is to admonish people to cultivate themselves by practicing their own minds.Everyone in the mortal world does not understand the true meaning of life.This leads us to easily think and act along our physical and mental desires throughout our lives.

　　例如，我们有财色之欲、名食之欲、睡懒之欲，这些在我们人看来都是正常的人生行为，却恰恰是我们永远无法摆脱人道的基本法则。人生就是财、色、名、食、睡，脱离了这些基本法则，生命似乎就没有了意义。同时，这也是人的精神和物质境界，人在这个层面上循环往复，不断地重复着财、色、名、食、睡。我们根本就不知道，有一种与之相反的方法，可以让我们脱离人道，进入＂仙＂道。

　　For example,we have the desires for wealth,lust,fame,food,sleep,and laziness.These are normal behaviors in our eyes,but it is precisely the basic principle that we can never get rid of humanity.Life is of money,lust,fame,food,and sleep.From these basic rules,life seems to have no meaning.At the same time,this is also the spiritual and material realm of human beings.People circulate at this level and continue to repeat their wealth,lust,fame,food,and sleep.We do not know at all that there is a way opposite to it,which will allow us to break away from humanity and enter on the path of“fairy”.

　　所谓＂仙道＂指的是比人更高层次的精神和物质境界。进入这个境界需要人做到少欲知足。就财、色、名、食、睡而言，我们不可以去除，也不可能去除，怎么办呢？

　　The so-called"path of immortal"refers to a higher level of spiritual and material realm than humans.To enter this realm requires people to do with less desire,to be content.As to wealth,lust,fame,food,or sleep.it is impossible to remove,nor can we remove them.What should we do?

　　在财上，取之有道而用之也要有道。对自己适可而止，其余的奉献出去，利益他人。在色上，要节制欲望，洁身自爱。在名上，不求利己，一心利益他人，名气不求自来。在食上，民以食为天，食不可不求，但绝不妄求，多食不益，确保健康长寿。在睡上，睡眠不可缺，科学说要保证八小时，其实不用，有四个小时的深度睡眠足矣，久卧伤气，现实中睡眠时间过长的人是身体不健康的表现，而修行极高的人可以以坐代睡。所以，从人到＂仙＂就是这样的过程。

　　In finance,there must be a right way to take and a correct way to use.To oneself it is enough to afford,and the rest to be devoted to others.In sexy,you should control your lust and keep your body clean.In the fame,we don't seek self-serving,we are interested in others,and our reputation is not sought.In food,it is the paramount necessity of the people.One can't stop asking for food,but you cannot make presumptuous demand.It's bad to eat more,to ensure a long and healthy life.In sleep,sleep can not be lacking,the science says to guarantee eight hours,in fact,there is no need,four hours of deep sleep is enough,long lying injury,in reality,long-sleeping people are unhealthy performance,and the people with very high spiritual practices can sit for sleep.Therefore,it is such a process from human to the"immortal".
