درباره این کتاب
عنوان اصلی:
The Taoist I Ching Translated by Thomas Cleary
ای جینگ دائویی
لیو ییمینگ (۱۷۳۴–۱۸۲۱ م.) از برجستهترین استادان مکتب دائوییِ کوانجِن (تمامیت حقیقت) در اواخر دوران سلسلهی چینگ بود. او نهتنها بهعنوان عارفی ژرفاندیش، بلکه بهعنوان یکی از مهمترین شارحان سنت نِیدان (کیمیاگری درونی) شناخته میشود؛ سنتی که هدف آن دگرگونی درونی و بازگشت به سرشت حقیقی و هماهنگی با دائو است از طریق فرایندی درونی و معنوی است. آثار او کوششی منسجم برای پیوند دادن آموزههای ای جینگ، دائوئیسم، بودیسم و کنفوسیوسیسم در چارچوبی واحد از خودپروری و سلوک معنوی به شمار میرود. از این منظر، نمادها و ششخطیهای ایجینگ صرفاً بیانگر رویدادهای جهان بیرونی نیستند، بلکه مراحل مختلف سلوک معنوی، پرورش یافتن ذهن، رشد آگاهی و بازگشت به هماهنگی با دائو را آشکار میکنند. به همین دلیل، شرح لیو ییمینگ بر ای جینگ از مهمترین و تأثیرگذارترین تفسیرهای عرفانی و نیدانی این کتاب در سنت فکری چین محسوب میشود.

سنجش:
This hexagram represents conciliation and adjustment when yin and yang are separated; it follows on the previous hexagram of concealment of illumination. Concealment of illumination has a meaning of true illumination being obscured; then artificial understanding emerges, discriminating consciousness takes charge of affairs, following what it desires, shedding light on the external without illumining the inward. One’s essence is thus disturbed, life is shaken, and one is separated from the Tao. This is where disharmony comes from.
However, though disharmony is disharmony, there is still a way to bring about union. Even though the light of consciousness is focused on externals, if one can empty the mind one can thereby restore light within. Even though desires arise inwardly, if one can fill the belly, one can thereby sweep desires outside. When illumination is restored and desires swept out, the spirit is settled and feelings are forgotten; then the barrier separating yin and yang is penetrated, and disharmony can be reconciled. Therefore “a small matter will turn out all right.”
“A small matter” refers to yin. When the human mentality has been doing things for a long time and the mind of Tao has been buried away, the great matter is already gone. Now if you want to achieve unification, it is necessary first to dismiss the human mentality; after that the mind of Tao will arise. Only after the mind of Tao has been restored will a great matter be auspicious. When right in the midst of disharmony, it is sufficient to seek to avoid the human mentality ruining things—how can one dare hope great matters turn out well? This is spoken of in tems of a small matter turning out all right.

What superior people see in this is that practitioners of the Tao should not fail to assimilate to others, yet should not be too much like others either. If they do not assimilate, they will startle and amaze the ignorant and ordinary people, and will be disliked and suspected by others; if they become too similar, however, they will be caught up in their influence and fall into mundane feelings. Therefore they are different in the midst of sameness.
Emulating the way moisture permeates things, they merge with the ordinary world and harmonize their illumination, responding to people harmoniously, able to adapt without restriction, assimilating to everyone. Emulating the way fire lights things up, they clearly distinguish truth and falsity, dealing with people without confusion, inwardly autonomous, having extraordinary self-control.
Outwardly the same yet inwardly not the same, inwardly different yet outwardly not different, they are thus able to be very much like other people while at the same time very much different from other people. Outward sameness means going by worldly laws; inward difference is practicing the principles of the Tao. This is what is meant by the saying "In cultivating practice, one conforms and harmonizes, adapting to each individual situation as it is; nobody can fathom such changes, or see how one acts or lies hidden."

If you want to restore the mind of Tao, it is necessary to first understand the human mind. But to understand it, it is important to see it: Seeing it as a pig, as devilish, is truly seeing the human mentality and how injurious it is. Once you can see and understand it clearly, your former use of the human mind without understanding is like first drawing a bow, while your later ability to understand and restore the mind of Tao is like afterward putting the bow down.
Without the human mind, you don’t see the mind of Tao; without the mind of Tao, you cannot know the human mind. Using the human mind temporarily to restore the mind of Tao, even though the human mind is the chief of villains, it is also the chief in merit; it is not an enemy, but really a partner. Once the human mind is seen and the mind of Tao is restored, at this point if you empty the human mind and activate the mind of Tao, and go on to solve disharmony, then yin and yang combine harmoniously. It is like encountering rain, which washes away the filth of all the pollution of the past, so one is restored to original wholeness and soundness. What can compare to that fortune? This is taking advantage of the time to solve disharmony, inasmuch as disharmony must ultimately be reconciled.
In each of the six lines there is disharmony, and the path of reconciliation is only capable of escaping disharmony between yin and yang, not of balancing yin and yang. Therefore it says a small affair will turn out all right. But if a small affair can turn out well, then a great affair can turn out well. When disharmony is finally reconciled, and yin and yang commune, if you seek from here, a great affair will surely bring good fortune. So practitioners of the Tao should first seek good results in the small affair.
هنگامی به ظواهر مینگری که اساساً غیرواقعی هستند، ظواهر متفاوت به نظر میرسند، بنابراین گویی جوهر نیز تقسیم شده است. هنگامی به جوهر مینگری که اساساً واقعی است، از آنجا که جوهر یکسان است، ظواهر نیز در بنیاد یکسانند. تنها انسانهای تکاملیافته میدانند چگونه همسان و هم متفاوت باشند، بنابراین همسانی را با تفاوتها نمیپوشانند. (چیشو)
این شش خطی وضعیت شما را به شکل چیزهایی که به هم وصل شدهاند اما نباید به هم بپیوندند توضیح میدهد. تأکید میکند که چیزها را در مقابل هم قرار دادن در عین آگاه ماندن به گوهر وجود هر یک(که با یکدیگر تفاوت دارند)، شیوهی مناسب مدیریت این وضعیت است... (ریتسما/ کراچر)
