The reason they don't know how is that they don't know the right timing to make effort. The reason they don 't know the right timing is that they have not understood the mechanism of heaven and earth.\" The \"mechanism of heaven and earth\" refers to the laws by which the universe operates. Humanity is born between heaven and earth. A human being is a microcosm that is influenced and regulated by the macrocosm. Unless you know natural laws, proper timing, and appropriate method, there is no succeeding in learning the Way. Polish away the temperamental nature of acquired habit, and fundamental essential nature appears of itself. Casting aside the ordinary mind, keep the true mind. Where does the true mind resort? To Nature. The work of collecting the mind to nurture its essential nature was completed in one year. Wang Liping emerged from the dark room, the earth pit, the giant urn, and the graveyard, heading toward Nature itself.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Chen Kaiguo" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/chen-kaiguo/the-way-is-not-remote-from-people-but-people-distance-themselves-from/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f19/chen-kaiguo-105622_dark-room_the-way-is-not-remote-from-people-but-pe_2754963.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f19/chen-kaiguo-105622_dark-room_the-way-is-not-remote-from-people-but-pe_2754963.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/f19/chen-kaiguo-105622_dark-room_the-way-is-not-remote-from-people-but-pe_2754963.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“The Way is not remote from people, but people distance themselves from the Way by trying to nurture life…” — Chen Kaiguo", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } } ] }, { "@type": "Person", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/chen-kaiguo/#person", "name": "Chen Kaiguo", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/chen-kaiguo/", "image": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/wp-content/uploads/sms4s/authors/processed/b027/author-chen-kaiguo-105622.jpg" }, { "@type": "ProfilePage", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/chen-kaiguo/#webpage", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/chen-kaiguo/", "name": "Chen Kaiguo", "isPartOf": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#website" }, "mainEntity": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/author/chen-kaiguo/#person" }, "primaryImageOfPage": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/774/chen-kaiguo-105622_change_the-source-of-stillness-is-in-emptiness_365899.jpg" }, "description": "Chen Kaiguo has 2 quotes on SMS4Smile.
