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 سلسلهٔ چینگ بود. او نهتنها بهعنوان عارفی ژرفاندیش، بلکه بهعنوان یکی از مهمترین شارحان سنت نِیدان (کیمیاگری درونی) شناخته میشود؛ سنتی که هدف آن دگرگونی و پالایش انسان و بازگشت به سرشت اصیلْ 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 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 operating the fire and preventing danger; it follows on the previous hexagram gradual progress. Gradual progress means stabilization and carrying out practice according to an initiatory process, whereby one gradually advances in an orderly manner, not letting the firing process go awry. “Fire” is a symbol of illumination; operating the fire means employing illumination. Illumination is the quality of awareness and perceptivity. If one can be aware, then one has the mind of Tao, and the spirit is knowing. If one can be perceptive, then there is no human mentality, and the mind is clear. With the spirit knowing and the mind clear, inwardly cultivating and subtly refining, clear about action and acting with clarity, one’s illumination will grow day by day, and one’s action will become greater day by day. When illumination and action are applied in concert, practice of the Tao is very easy. This is why richness is developmental.
However, though richness of illumination and action is developmental, it is necessary to know when to go forward and when to withdraw, to be able to be great or small, to forestall danger and foresee peril—only then can richness be enduring richness, can development be enduring development. This is like there being no “worry when the king is great.” The king represents the ease of making works lofty and great when the accomplishment of the Tao is rich and full. When one is great and knows how to preserve it, there is no worry about greatness.
What path is the path of no worry? It is the path “suited to midday.” Day represents illumination, the middle means freedom from partiality and bias. When development of illumination is rich and full, the firing process has been completed, and the medicine has been made, the kindling should be quickly removed from under the stove and the fire should be stopped. Stopping when it is appropriate to stop, illumination is not overused. When illumination is not overused, proceeding and withdrawing according to the time, firmness and flexibility balancing each other without partiality or bias, then that which is not yet rich can become so, while that which is already rich can be preserved. There is no further worry that richness may be lost.
تصویر:
What superior people see in this is that when people in the world accept the false and abandon the real, take misery for pleasure, crave possessions and sensual stimulation, ruin their character and conduct, misbehave in a hundred ways, and enter a state of benightedness, they are like criminals in prison awaiting the time when they will be executed. Looking into the source of this, it is because of not knowing how to distinguish the real from the false. Therefore superior people emulate the shining illumination of lightning, thoroughly investigating the recondite principles of nature and life, distinguishing right and wrong, like passing judgment in court.
Once they have discerned the real within the false, they also distinguish the false within the real; with genuine knowledge and certain insight, they do not mistake the seeming for the true. Emulating the power of thunder, they extirpate implanted aberrating influences and clean up their spirits, like executing punishment of criminals. Liberating the innocent, executing the guilty, acting decisively and directly, they do not grant respite to insidious ills.
Passing judgment means applying flexibility to minute discernment, effecting knowledge. Execution means applying firmness to decisive power, acting with strength. The sages' science of nature and life of body and mind is twofold, involving knowledge and action. If one knows but does not act, one cannot attain the Tao; if one acts without knowledge, one mistakes nature and life. Knowing and then acting, completing knowledge with practice, proving understanding in action, some day one will master oneself and return to what is right, and all the world will revert to goodness. If students are able to judge truth and act effectively, there is no doubt that they will reach the state of abundance of qualities of the Tao, where wealth is daily renewed.

So in the path of richness, when not yet rich it is necessary to produce richness by first understanding and then practicing. Once rich, it is necessary to stop pouring on effort and to preserve richness. Producing richness and preserving richness, each follow its own appropriate timing: Forestalling danger, aware of perils, using illumination and operating the fire without erring either by excess or insufficiency, it is good to attain the proper balance.
فراوانی بزرگی است. عمل همراه با فهم فراوانی را به ارمغان میآورد. هنگامی که پادشاه به این مقام دست مییابد، بزرگی افزوده میشود. نگران نباشید—از خورشید در اوج روز بهره ببرید؛ خوب است که جهان را روشن سازید. (کنفسیوس)
در مسیر ثروت، زمانی که هنوز ثروتمند نشدهایم، لازم است ابتدا با درک و سپس با تمرین، ثروت را ایجاد کنیم. هنگامی که ثروتمند شدیم، باید از تلاش بیش از اندازه پرهیز کرده و ثروت را حفظ کنیم. ایجاد ثروت و حفظ ثروت، هر یک زمان مناسب خود را دارند: پیشبینی خطر، آگاهی از مخاطرات، استفاده از درخشش و بهکارگیری آتش بدون افراط یا تفریط، برای دستیابی به تعادل درونی سودمند است.
