The True Essence of Wang Yangming's Mind Learning

It seems that in dealing with various matters, ultimately, people are actually dealing with their own emotions and feelings.

You drive a 20,000 yuan car to attend a gathering, and if someone says the car is not good or not prestigious, you feel upset;
But the same words, if you drive a 2 million yuan car, you don't care at all.
The world hasn't changed, people haven't changed, the words haven't changed; what has changed is only your mindset.

Just like selling durians at a stall for thirty years, some love it, some dislike it; durian remains durian, nothing has changed.
What truly changes are always people's feelings.

Besides physical pain, which is real, most of our worries, grievances, and inferiority are not truly real—they are just our delusions and emotions.

There is only one external world, but each person lives in their own inner world. This is what Wang Yangming meant by "nothing outside the mind."

The sky is just the sky, unrelated to freedom; the ocean is just the ocean, unrelated to tolerance; the fragrance of plum blossoms exists only because they are plum blossoms.

Once you see this clearly, you will no longer be trapped by emotions and will be able to respond freely to anyone and anything.
This is the true power of Wang Yangming's mind learning.
