When the objective things are not as good as one’s subjective desire, one will feel affliction. To get rid of affliction, there are two ways: one is reducing one’s subjective desire to approach the objective things, and finally unite subjective and objective to be one, it is a spiritual way, and religions take this way; another way is trying to change the objective things to approach one’s subjective desire, and finally unite objective and subjective to be one, it is a substantial way, and science takes this way.
The spiritual way is reasonable and feasible, but it is a negative way. It takes nirvana as the ultimate goal; there isn’t any subjective desire any more, accordingly, there isn’t any affliction. But actually, it is an eternal death state without any vitality. Metempsychosis is gone, affliction is gone, but life is gone too.
The substantial way looks good, but actually, by this way, one cannot get the ultimate state forever, accordingly, it is impossible to get rid of affliction completely by this way. People’s desires are endless, but the ability of science is limited, whatever how quick science develops, it cannot satisfy people’s desires after all.
Both the spiritual way and the substantial way are not satisfied, we need a better way out. Internal Cultivation unites the spiritual way and the substantial way, it exceeds all the religions and science. It focuses on life cultivation, it intervenes spirit and substance. Life comes from the one and only congenital Qi (origin Qi), the one and only congenital Qi come from the Dao. In the final analysis, Internal Cultivation is just cultivating the one and only congenital Qi, when one’s body transforms into the one and only congenital Qi, he unites to the Dao, he is able to transform at his pleasure, and his life will be immortal, accordingly, he is able to change the objective things at his pleasure, so that the subjective and objective unite to be one, and affliction is gone forever. It is completely different with eternal death – nirvana.
