Chapter 878: Get Rid of Remaining Thoughts

"Get rid of the "remaining thoughts" in your heart? "

Aries frowned slightly after hearing this, as if he couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Yes, child." Aunt Tong nodded, "As long as you can abandon the lingering thoughts in your heart, you will definitely be favored by the Mother Goddess."

Aries' eyes became more complicated, as if there were many things he couldn't understand. Not only him, but I was also confused after hearing what Aunt Tong said.

After a long time, Aries finally asked:

"Most people will say "get rid of distracting thoughts", why do you say "get rid of residual thoughts"? "

“Child, ‘distractions’ are ‘remaining thoughts’. "Aunt Tong explained patiently.

"Since "distractions" are "remaining thoughts," why do you avoid a commonly used term and choose this rare term? "

"Child... when you come into contact with many religions, you will find that the term "distracted thoughts" is not accurate. The meaning it wants to express is not as thorough as "remaining thoughts". "

"In your opinion, what does "distracted thoughts" mean? What does "Yu Nian" mean? "Aries asked again.

Jiang Ruoxue and I gradually became speechless. The conversation between Aries and Aunt Tong was moving towards a strange angle.

No...it didn't seem like they were having a conversation.

On the contrary, it is like some kind of "discussion".

"My child, you are very curious about knowledge, which is a very valuable quality." Aunt Tong said kindly to Aries, "From a literal meaning, "distractions" refers to "impure thoughts", or "unpure thoughts". Good thoughts". However, Yu Nian does not express this meaning. It refers to "the rest of the thoughts" or the "extra thoughts." "

"I don't understand." Aries said, "If "get rid of all the remaining thoughts" like you said, it means "get rid of all the thoughts in the heart." How can such a person succeed? "

“Isn’t it the greatest success to have “no desires and no demands”? "Aunt Tong said, "The ultimate goal of all those who are struggling in this world is actually to have "no desires and no desires." Do you believe it? "

"What about people who make money?" Aries asked, "Does the ultimate goal of all people who want to make money also have no desires and no desires?"

"Making money is to buy the things you need. When you make enough money and buy enough things, you will have no more desires." Aunt Tong answered.

"Where are the people who enjoy themselves?" Aries asked again.

"People who enjoy themselves want to enjoy more happiness. After they get all the happiness in the world, they will no longer want to enjoy themselves, and then they will enter a state of having no desires or desires."

"What about the people who want to live?"

"It's all the same, child." Aunt Tong said with a smile, "If you really have "no desires and no desires," then living and dying are just the same state. People who get rid of distracting thoughts will not feel the fear of death, let alone the loss of leaving this world. "

"Absurd." Aries said, "If a person abandons all thoughts in his heart, there is no difference from a corpse. He doesn't want or do anything, how can he be called a human being? "

"Child..." Aunt Tong's eyes showed a trace of compassion at this moment, "The reason why you think so... is precisely because you can't give up all the "remaining thoughts" in your heart, and you have never tried "having no desires and no desires." ” state, naturally you will not understand. "

"I really can't understand it." Aries said, "If all the people in this place have no desires as you said, in my opinion they are not detached, but resigned to their fate. "The Land of the End" Existence itself is based on mistakes and lies. The more oppressive the other party is, the more we must resist. "

"So... is this why you can't let go of the "remaining thoughts" in your heart? "Aunt Tong asked again.

"Yes." Aries nodded, "I have abandoned all "distractions", except "remaining thoughts". I need to leave the purest thought to keep me moving forward. "

"Hey..." Aunt Tong smiled and shook her head, her expression was like looking at an ignorant child.

"If you are here to help me, I will find a way to repay you at some point in the future." Aries added, "If you are here to persuade me to give up for some purpose, I suggest you leave now."

"Everyone in this world has their own choice, how can I advise you to give up?" Aunt Tong smiled and shook her head, "I'm just worried that the "remaining thoughts" in your heart will eventually turn into "obsession", leaving you here It's like a hellish place going completely crazy. Even if you do this, won't you give up? "

"Yes." Aries nodded and said, "Either madness or destruction, I'm afraid these are the only two paths."

Aunt Tong shook her head, put her hand on Aries' chest again, and said: "My child, if you can't make the lingering thoughts disappear, then find a way to make them settle." "

"stable……?"

"A stable and powerful lingering thought is enough to get you to the end." Aunt Tong said, "The Mother Goddess will protect you."

"So what exactly is the "Mother Goddess"? Aries asked again, "Is it some kind of god you believe in?" "

"Some kind of...?" Aunt Tong smiled kindly, and then said, "My child, the "Mother Goddess" is everything, she is the beginning of everything and the destined future. She exists in this land and in the outside world. "

"It sounds like she is omnipotent, so where is she now?" Aries said, "I despise her so much, will she come out to punish me?"

"How could it be?" Aunt Tong said, "We are all children of the Mother Goddess. Even if she is really dissatisfied with what you said, she can't really be angry with you. She loves you. I can understand Feel the love of the "Mother Goddess". "

Aries seemed a little interested in what Aunt Tong said, but he soon noticed the two necklaces hanging around Aunt Tong's neck, and his eyes became cold again.

"Does your "Mother Goddess" know that you betrayed her? "Aries asked again.

"Betrayal...?" Aunt Tong was amused by Aries' words, and then stroked the beads and cross around her neck, "You mean these two necklaces? How can this be considered betrayal?"

"Loyal ministers do not serve two masters." Aries said, "If you want to promote your "Mother Goddess" here, you should not believe in other religions. "

"But we are all children of the Mother Goddess. "Aunt Tong continued, "I said that the "Mother Goddess" is everything in the world. If she agrees with the emergence of these religions, it proves that she agrees with my belief in these religions. Only by believing in all the powerful religions in the world can I vaguely feel the will of the "Mother Goddess"... My child... I am not betraying her, I am trying every means to get closer to her. "

"Okay." Aries nodded helplessly, "Your logic is self-consistent, I have nothing to say, but if your "Mother Goddess" can't help me, to me she is no different from a corpse on the street. . "
