马小秋秋言物语2第六十三章：地球病了

2019 年下半年到 2020 年上半年，我们的地球一直很不安宁。美国流感暴发、澳洲的山火燃烧了几个月、非洲蝗虫肆虐、全球新冠肺炎疫情、大大小小的山火与地震……很多人为此不安，我们的世界怎么了？它还会好起来吗？
众生一体，地球上生存的人类不分你我，是一个整体，同属于这个地球、这个宇宙。牵一发而动全身，人类贪嗔痴的起心动念、混乱不堪的内心，盲目开采、过度开发、污染环境，让地球不堪重负，它病了。它在通过调整自己的震动频率进行自愈。越来越多的灾难似乎在警示我们，如果人类还不觉醒，后果会很严重。
我们也许只是做了微小的不善行，但随着心念的增长，以及共同的不善心的聚合，引发了外在环境的巨变，导致各种天灾人祸发生。人心的力量很强大，它可以影响和改变外在的世界。何况现在我们确实不知敬畏、巧取豪夺、天人背离、道德滑坡。
从某种意义上讲，生病是一种警醒，只是个片段，治不好就会“断”了， 而治好的定义是，知道怎么才能好，好了之后要怎么做， 并且不再犯同样的错误。我经常说，宇宙、万物、人类生活，一切都是道，作为人，最重要的就是遵道而行。灾难集中爆发，是在提醒我们。这次新冠肺炎疫情，让我们都回归家庭。也许是我们开始进入静心与反思的启示，也是让还不明道的人们走上“道”的契机？ 我们真的该回到“道”上了。
我们应该反思：人类不断破坏自然环境，为满足一己私欲，恣意残杀生灵，生态平衡之道被打破，才让病菌得以肆虐。我们应该反思：为了过度扩张的物欲，我们是否一直躁动不安，盲目争夺，又在焦虑压力之下追求狂欢，甚至忽略家庭与亲人。我们应该反思：人与人之间各种纷扰，是否让人心平衡之道扭曲，向地球传递了太多的负能量。
我们每一个人循道而行，清净自守，达到“致虚极、守静笃” 甚至“ 虚灵” 的状态， 才能时时保持健康、生出智慧。这也是地球健康起来的关键。这次疫情，相比那些奋战在抗疫一线的人，我们所能做得很少，但我们也能做出自己的贡献。这个时期不能外出， 是难得可以静心与家人在一起的时刻， 回归当下生活的小家庭， 把自己所有的幸福、喜乐、慈悲、孝顺都在这个小家庭里呈现出来， 这就是我们所谓的“回家”。家里的一餐一饭都是我们的爱和温暖； 家里的一草一木、一碗一杯都是我们的爱和祝福。

地球需要我们的宁静、慈悲、柔软与爱，这是我们每个人对地球的最大贡献。由我做起，从小做起，那我们一定会让一切都回到道上，而合道的运作系统，使人身心安宁有序、生生不息，也使世界安宁有序、生生不息。
Planet Earth is Sick
From the latter half of 2019 to the spring of 2020, Planet Earth has been visited by multiple disasters. Swine u, catastrophic wildres that raged for months in Australia, a plague of locusts in Africa that landed on crops which disappeared in seconds, the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as volcanic eruptions and earthquakes.A lot of people are worried. What’s going on with our planet? Will things get better?
All creatures on the planet form an integral whole. We belong here, on this planet and in this universe. According to the Butterfly Effect, a slight move in one part may affect the whole world, meaning that we cannot control the myriad changes resulting from a series of causes and effects. We truly have no respect. Destructive mining, excessive development, pollution... all have overwhelmed the planet. Earth is sick. It’s trying to cure itself through an adjustment of frequencies.
Our position on the planet’s surface is delicate. The consequences for us are potentially devastating. Ultimately, sickness is a warning. If not cured, it will lead to a greater “fracture”. And the definition of cure is to know how to recover, what to do after the recovery and how to avoid making the same mistakes. As I often say, Tao is in everything. Tao is in the universe, in all things in the universe, and in human lives. As humans, the most important thing for us is to act according to Tao. The concentrated outbreak of disasters reminds us to return to “Tao”.
In the global pandemic, people have settled at home. Cities have grown quiet at night. Perhaps this is the opportunity for our country to reect. The ones who are causing such severe damage to the planet can nally walk on the path of “Tao”, which forbids such destruction.
The locusts are not evil. They are living creatures. They want to stay alive. A virus is not evil. It is a living creature. It wants to stay alive. It does this by spreading from one human to another. Unfortunately, that causes great suffering.
The people who set the wildres—they are criminals. The people who cut down rainforests—they are stealing from future generations. The people who hunt a priceless heritage of ancient life—the Rhino—for greed and lust. They are destroyers. We will reap what we sow.
Tao is mindless. We will not be able to cope with the forces of nature we unleash by our actions.
We should reect on our willful massacre of other creatures that upset the ecological balance that made way for the spreading of the virus. If we all acted according to Tao with regard for other creatures and self- discipline, we can “attain the utmost in passivity and hold rm to the basis of quietude” to reach a state of “original simplicity”, we will be healthy and generate wisdom. The planet will recover if given the chance.
In this global pandemic, few of us are qualied to act as rst responders. Still, we can do our bit to benet the family. In the time when we cannot go out, we can revive the art of conversation and do the other things we have put aside. This is what we call “returning home”. Each meal warms us together, as if around a campre. Each plant we grow at home, each bowl and glass, are signs of civilization, which, like time, is a precious thing. We can read and study. The Earth wants us to provide her with silence and peace.
Are we listening?
