"The mind does not die, the way does not originate; unity of knowledge and action, the Great Way is simplest."
The mind does not die, the way does not originate: This means that as long as there are distractions in the mind, you cannot find the true way. For example: Someone trading, losing money for years, trying many methods, still losing. One day, only a little money remains in his account. He sits in front of the computer, staring at the screen, and suddenly asks himself a question. If this were my last trade, what would I do? He thinks for a long time, then makes the simplest trade—look at the daily trend, wait for the hourly correction to enter, set a stop loss, then turn off the computer. That trade profits. The reason: too many things are in the mind—wanting to recover losses, prove oneself, catch up with others. If these things do not die, the true way cannot enter. So, the mind does not die. It refers to those distractions, those obsessions. Analysis: Most people’s desire to recover losses, fear of missing out, illusions that they should make money—these things do not die. They always use emotions to trade. So, what is the way? The way is the last trade you make—simple, clean, following rules. "Unity of knowledge and action" means that knowing what to do is not just about forcing yourself to do it. It’s about doing it when you don’t know. For example: When you learn to drive, the instructor says, see the red light, step on the brake. You know this is knowledge, but when you step on the brake, you still think for a moment. This is called knowledge and action being separate. After three years of driving, seeing a red light, your foot is already on the brake, and your mind isn’t thinking at all—that’s unity of knowledge and action. It’s turning rules into conditioned reflexes. You no longer need to think about whether to stop-loss; when you see the price hit the stop-loss level, your hand moves automatically. You no longer need to think about whether to hold; you set a conditional order, and you’ve already turned off the computer. How to practice this? It’s not about practicing; it’s about doing it. Every time you follow the rules and cut losses, your body remembers. After pressing the button 100 or 1,000 times, you won’t need to think anymore. "The Great Way is simplest" means that after taking a big detour, you realize that the most effective method is the one you already know. The previous indicators and methods lost money because you didn’t trust them, always thinking there’s a better way, more accurate indicators, or a more skilled trader. So you kept searching and changing. After trying all paths, you look back and see that the simplest one is the one you can execute best. Why can’t many people trust it from the start? Because of human nature—people always want shortcuts, always think there’s a better way. Human greed—after enough lessons from the market, greed dies. The simplest method survives. Most traders have greed, anger, ignorance, slowness, doubt—related to trading. Greed: want to make more money after earning some, but end up giving profits back. Anger: lose money and get angry, want to retaliate by adding to the position. Ignorance: clearly wrong but still think you’re right. Slowness: think you’re smarter than others and don’t set stop-losses. Doubt: with a system, always suspicious, switching back and forth. Most people experience these five traits; some hold on, some gradually let go. "What is enlightenment, awakening?" Enlightenment: suddenly realizing you’ve been falling into the same pit, and you dug that pit yourself. It’s so simple, yet many people never see that pit in their lifetime. Awakening: seeing the pit and walking around it. So, enlightenment is about seeing; awakening is about doing. Those who shout every day that they’ve awakened are mostly still in the pit. Truly awakened people have already walked around it and don’t shout anymore. "Nirvana": Nirvana is not the end, but the beginning. Nirvana means you die, but you also come alive again. In trading, it’s about your desire to make money dying, and your disciplined $BTC$ self living.
