Being
a person is fine. Cultivating the Way is also fine. But no matter what we
pursue, there is proper and deviant, there is right and wrong, there isyin
andyang, there is good and bad, and there is filiality and rebelliousness.
You can't take right to be wrong, black for white, evil to be good, and
be a rebellious per-son and yet say you honor your parents. To talk like
that is being upside down-confused about right and wrong, rebellion and
filial piety, black and white. One who thinks like that is blind to the
truth. And one who doesn't recognize the truth is foolish. Being confised about black and white, One creates demonic karma. You could say that
such a person holds deviant knowledge and views and is a thief among the
virtuous. By creating evil karma, one will defmitely fall into the retinue
of the demon king in the future. |
