Chapter 60 three kinds of people

The late master of metaphysics Gautev once said that those who pursue religion can be roughly classified into three categories. The first category is the ascetics, who pursue spiritual transcendence through various austerities on the body. Asceticism allows them to greatly improve their spiritual awareness and is no longer subject to this stinky skin. The second category is believers. They focus on their beliefs and form a power that transcends everything. As long as you believe, mountains can also be moved away. This is a bit like filial piety and loyalty. The power of this belief makes them make life and wealth secondary. Only the goal of faith has final significance.

The third category is zazen practitioners, who focus on spiritual practice. Yoga is the best representative way. Through the control and exercise of the body, they can achieve a high level of spiritual state and even enlightenment. The basic motives of these three types of people are the same, they are all for a goal beyond this world, when you do not focus on the world and the success or failure of this limited life, you can be any of these three types of people. But even though they have no interest in religious belief, these three ways of pursuing can also be said to be ways of doing things. For example, athletes and boxers can be included in the first category of ascetics. Without asceticism, how can they realize their potential.The second category of beliefs is what every successful person needs.The third category of spiritual cultivation should be a topic that everyone should pay attention to.
