In this speculative scenario, let's consider Leibniz's Monad (first emanation of God), from the philosophical work "The Monadology", as an abstract representation of the zero-dimensional space that binds quarks together with the Strong Nuclear Force: 1) Indivisibility and Unity: Monads, as indivisible entities, mirror the nature of quarks, which are deemed elementary and indivisible particles in our theoretical context. Just as monads possess unity and indivisibility, quarks are unified in their interactions through the Strong Nuclear Force. 2) Interconnectedness: In the Monadology, monads are interconnected in a vast network. In a parallel manner, the interconnectedness of quarks through the strong force could be metaphorically represented by the interplay of monads, forming a web that holds particles together. 3) Inherent Properties: Just as monads possess inherent perceptions and appetitions, quarks could be thought of as having intrinsic properties like color charge, reflecting the inherent qualities of monads and influencing their interactions. 4) Harmony: The concept of monads contributing to universal harmony resonates with the idea that the Strong Nuclear Force maintains harmony within atomic nuclei by counteracting the electromagnetic repulsion between protons, allowing for the stability of matter. 5) Pre-established Harmony: Monads' pre-established harmony aligns with the idea that the strong force was pre-designed to ensure stable interactions among quarks, orchestrating their behavior in a way that parallels the harmony envisaged by Leibniz. 6) Non-Mechanical Interaction: Monads interact non-mechanically, mirroring the non-mechanical interactions of quarks through gluon exchange. This connection might be seen as a metaphorical reflection of the intricacies of quark-gluon dynamics. 7) Holism: The holistic perspective of monads could symbolize how quarks, like the monads' interconnections, contribute holistically to the structure and behavior of particles through the strong force interactions. em·a·na·tion noun an abstract but perceptible thing that issues or originates from a source.
Miyamoto Musashi's philosophy is heavily grounded in concepts from Daoism, and if you've never delved into that philosophy, you'd misunderstand this video and what it means when it says stop trying. The Dao (or The Way), which is the universal force from which Musashi's ideas discussed in this video stem from, is called the effortless effort. The process of flowing with the dao is paradoxically both an effort that requires no effort. When man lets go of control and allows life to flow, he no longer needs to apply great effort to get what he wants, only small efforts at key moments that are instinctual and flow through him; small effortless actions fueled by intuition freed from the laborious thinking, planning, and overthinking of the controlling egoic mind. No action is wasted, and all flow in harmony. To achieve such a state, mastery of one's own emotions, thoughts, and desires is necessary, or else these things will sway one out of balance and disrupt the dao. The path to self mastery is not one of gripping tightly, but of letting go faithfully.
Buddhism , Daoism , Christism ( true Christism) , Krishnamurti , ............................: Love , Humble , Selfless , Patience .....Like the mother doing things for her child - she has great effort but effortless ? .Like great artists : so spontaneous so natural so marvelous .May I am right ? With this idea .Thank you for sharing the thoughts of Miyamoto Musashi.
This is just bullshit written by people born with talent. Yes they work hard too, but this samurai would get no where if he had zero talent. Talented people work hard but like you said, it’s practically effortless for them.
I call this ability Luck. My luck can accumulate. Be used up. Or if I'm lucky be saved for another moment. If used randomly it becomes complacency or self harm.
@@CK-lt6jlMusashi did also say "to know 10,000 things, know one well". He DEVELOPED talent through discipline rather than OVERwork. Perhaps "effort" isn't the best translation; "struggle" might be better. As another self-help dude says "motion does not equal action".
Trying too hard will often suppress the more important things that you are unable to grasp to due tunnel vision. I like to "Look around" every once in while in case there is something I’m missing. Funnily enough, there always is.
To everyone reading this, I sincerely pray for that whatever is causing you pain or stress will pass. May your negative thoughts, excessive worries and doubts disappear, replaced by clarity and understanding. May your life be filled with peace, tranquility and love
all this is nonsense.. jiri read all this and keeps doing all these things and then gets one punch knocked out by alex pereira.. goes to show instead of all these nonsensical old books and baggage, its much better to just practice the fundamentals over and over again. khabib never read all this crap and yet he was the best... those who fuck around too much with these books and shit never win..
@@Lieutenant-Dan he doesnt mix religion and mma.. in fact he says fighting is not very good for religion.. mixing up these things like jiri is problematic.. find spirituality inside you... train mma outside... otherwise you will get popped like jiri got with all his shaolin..
As a kickboxer I've found out that when taking 2 months of from training made me better, I realised that I have gotten better, my striking and kicks were landing idk why or how but it just works
I think everything you learn needed time to settle or to program in a way like an update so you can better use it and for that you need to take a break
@@reycesarcarino4653i suspect this to be the case as well, instead of constantly trying to one-up yourself you let the basics and the overal result become your own. After that pause you start from the complete collection of the process instead of a particular part of it you tried to improve upon before. Its like that for other things than physical training as well. I think that might be part of why studying for a test over the course of a week works better than cramming the same information in one or two days.
Agreed; I’ve noticed this throughout dealing with school, profession, and hobbies; there’s ALWAYS a point of diminishing return and it’s easy to lose perspective.
I had this realization recently, now im going to try to slow down and stop putting myself in to immense pressure. Im no good to my employee if im going to burn out.
I somewhat understand this. What about those who succeed through powerful effort. Like bodybuilders or martial artists or someone in a high-octane profession (surgeon, engineer, etc). There are times in life where I've tried hard and got nothing, but there have been times when I did nothing--and got nothing. So it would be ideal to know the right moves and execute at the right time.
Mu : Approaching things with an open heart. Without preconceived notions, superficial distractions and unnecessary desires Let go of the desires fears and expectations and focus on the task at hand. With precise genuinness. As if It is the last thing you are doing. Flow state: In this state, one is exerting the right effort without the unnecessary feelings of the mind. Fully present in the moment. Without overthinking, which is also called analysis paralysis. It is the line between not trying enough and trying too hard It is as if you are in harmony with the universe, dancing with It is currents
It's not about being in the state of flow. It's about not wanting anything. Because when you do something, the stress of not having it right now makes what you need to do to get what you want seem very difficult or impossible. So learn how to become desireless
It's attainable man, you just gotta keep at it! 😅 I've been practicing around the clock for a while now and it does get easier to maintain, and reattain when lost eventually
As an overthinker, and quite of a dimwit, I'm vulnerable to worsening my state the more i try not to. Distractions. Burnout. Pessimism. Hearing the lines of "more wisdom than effort" is a bitter pill hard to swallow given the fact that it's always been effort that kept me going despite my lack of understanding and purpose.
I understand you But ykw, wisdom is acceptance of what is and putting in pleasurable efforts ( effortless effort) to what you truly wanna do . You would have been a dimwit if you didn't realise your fallacies. Someone who does recognise what goes wrong is a learner. Believe in yourself. Everyone learns from failures. Don't be discouraged.

I discovered this on my own. After beating my head against the wall to reach a destination i was never meant to go. Climbing the mountain to find misery at the top
I've journeyed up many mountains in my lifetime, only to find nothing at the top. After all these years, I believe I am now finally climbing the right mountain, one in alignment with my True Self. I hope you're on to a new mountain too - the one you were meant to conquer.
The best real life example I have of this was this uni work I had to do recently. I did it everyday for 3 weeks because it was a hard subject, had minimal productivity and the deadline was approaching. Ended up getting an extension because I thought I wouldn’t be able to finish it in time. Went to uni and finished it all in 6 hours, didn’t even need the extension. The stress and need to finish something fast was preventing me from calmly doing it, once I realised that I didn’t have to do it whilst rushing it, it started flowing
Recently I got severe pnueomia my lungs were infected,and blood was present in muscus discharge. Turns out i was overtraining and it led to immune suppression that caused even weak pathogens to attack my body easily. Since I've recovered I have reduced my training volume to half , and to my suprise I am stronger than ever I'm hitting PR's even muscle gain is ridiculous. It's true the harder you try the worse it gets and sometimes less is truly more.
I agree halfway, there is a middle ground. Try everything you can with what you have now, and don't worry about the rest. And take breaks every now and then
Put the effort for the effort itself, not for what you wish or expect. Don't focus on the future, the outcomes. Put the effort and let it lead you where it will lead you. Its liberating. Lets you understand the true nature of success.
This refers to controlling people. The more it gets out of control, the more effort it takes until you realize you are not in control of anything, except one self.
I don't care and I don't try. I just 'do'. If I fail, then I fail. If it don't work out, then it don't work out. It's pointless to get worked up over things, especially if I have no control over them The art of not caring gives me contentment with any results. I always prefered to just go about things with a casual mindset, as trying leads to stress and disencouragement right away. If something goes my way for a change, then that's cool. But I try not to get attached to anything or anyone. It's pointless That's the mentality I've had most of my life. Although I can't help but think if I've become apathetic or just indifferent and unmotivated. I've never really had anything or anyone to really care about, so I've never been motivated by such things
This is presented very succinctly in Chuang Tzu's aphorism against "beating a drum in search if a fugitive". The better you get at something, the higher your expectations of yourself climb and you are never satisfied, never able to relax and simply be. When you play to win, you have already lost before making a single move.
The worst moments of my life were when I was too hesitant to act, or when I was trying too hard to be something I'm not. The best moments were indeed, when I was decisive in the right moments and followed through. Musashi's book seems to hinge heavily on 'right timing', and how this principle applies in all the ways of life.
I learned it the hard way, spend 8 years of my life studying for a job, growing anxiety and fail everytime. Now, trying again in other career. We have to move on despite the failures...
I've only realized this concept when I was playing a certain genre of video game, it's a stealth genre, the more I try hard on those games the more I seem to fail worse than the previous attempt, this also goes to my experience in weight lifting the more I trained every single day without taking a break the less and less progress I seem to have had..
People beleive hard work = success. You can never convince someone they dont want success. Until they look back and realize that hard work is just sacrifice.
These concepts refined and perfected like a razor sharp sword, applied at the right time, place, and with the correct amount of force, are unimagineably effective. You would have to experience it firsthand to fully understand.
One of my favorite quotes came from a fan of Arnold Schwarzenegger forgot his name but he said “Work hard but Relax Hard” if you always work hard you’ll burnout your muscles but if you give them a exceptional amount of time to repair themselves aswell as an exceptional amount of time training them you’ll be strong in no time
In flow or in essence means to say in simple understanding way means that if you are doing a work with true love and passion in it then you will feel it as pleasure and you will never think about the victory or loss you just did it for your desire in that time without knowing yourself you will achieve your goals .
i always overwork and taking on too much at a time, and I got nowhere in fact I see people advance while i stagnate. And my attitude got worse because I had no time to self-reflect on my disappointment and jealousy. less is more. avoid unnecessary things. and jomo.
In matters of the spirit, the harder I've tried to fix things, the worse they gotten. Buddhist interpretations are quite nice, to simply stop worrying, wanting less means hurting less. Be disciplined for the sake of discipline instead of working against it by pushing against the flow.
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen. So insightful, so useful, and helpful, game-changer in my life. Really helped to understand myself, my life and the right approach to life. I’ll read the book of 5 rings and study Musashi Miyamoto’s life. Thanks so much to the author of the video🙏
Musashi's principles and understanding of life in general is so much like what Krishna said to a doubtful and distressed Arjuna in the midst of the Kurukshetra war. Its really commendable and inspiring that he reached that point in life wher he actually attained wisdom all by the WAY OF THE SWORD.
I have learned that there is a time for everything. There is a time to Hustle and there is a time to Relax and let things flow. The wisdom is in knowing which one we need when the time comes.
Trying harder is just achieving maximum current capability. I honestly don’t even really think it’s bad that people persist with exposure to indefinite trial. Overall, exposure is exposure, and life is flexible.
I think I understood about 20% of the video haha, my take on it is that everyone can achieve a point in their minds where yes, you are fully logically aware of what is happening, but you don't put emotional stakes on it. You hold emotion aside and let the logical side take over fully. Like if you were watching the situation from and outsider's point of view. When you look at something from the outside we often are like "Why didn't person X did this?" and is basically because they were emotionally compromised with the situation and we're not
Most samurai were well rounded like renaissance men. It was believed that a great samurai was a poet, at times an artist, knew how to meditate. You had to be skilled not just with the blade and in combat, but skilled all around, balanced in spirit mind and body. You had to create a balance and be a complete man and warrior. The samurai were very intelligent, educated snd disciplined. They knew multiple weapons, knew hand to hand combat, and obviously were philosophers. Its little surprise what made him so great was the culmination of those things.
Before being able to enter a flow state you must first try hard because your neurons are new to the actions being performed then after a while you can perform the same action in a flow relaxed
It is really very simple and not really a paradox as working really hard can very often get you more. It is how you are working hard that matters and I fear lazy people will use this "paradox" to excuse their slacking in their off time or doing bare minimum at their dead-end job. Working extra hard at a job that pays nothing extra and has no reasonable upward mobility is like fighting the tides, the more you push the more the ocean moves around you and you only wear yourself out. However, if you have a job/income that pays on unit basis or requires a lot to start and little to maintain, then working hard will earn you more over time. The key is to not waste time at a job that has no movement upwards while complaining to raise min wages/etc. and to instead use that effort to build a skill set that will make you able to get a job/career that does make the income you need/want.
Well, that's the key my friend. That phrase doesn't mean you should stop trying hard. If you throw a stone in the ocean, you can't predict where it will land. YOU'LL HAVE TO DROWN WITH IT.
It depends on each person and their situation when dealing with a very big task. Lao Tzu recommends no action but that is a totally different life philosophy and way of life which can be applied generally.
People are suggesting you to work hard so you can get used to do hard work, not because you will be success. But when you are getting used to do hard work, opportunity will coming to you and you will achieve it sooner or later. What you need to do is to get used it first.
This is like a halftruth I would say. It comes down to what you wish to offer really. So the more you want to give basically. And that might take some time and effort as you have a clear intention on what that is but not a finished product simultaneously. So your vision and product match eventually for you to be satisfied with what you have accomplished. And perhaps then you realize. You surpassed yourself which is the real gain in the striving. ❤
Miyamoto Musashi, a legendary Japanese swordsman, philosopher, and ronin, left behind a wealth of wisdom. One of his well-known quotes is: "The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him." This quote reflects Musashi's emphasis on the importance of intention, focus, and decisiveness in martial arts and life. Musashi's teachings extend beyond the battlefield, and many people draw inspiration from his philosophy for personal development and strategic thinking.
In a simple phrase: try but with no mental burdens. I saw some where that Musashi taught this (gist): you can easily go through a narrow log laying on the ground, but it is hard to do it if the log is over a deep cliff. But so soon as you overcome your mental obstacles, you become a master right away. --- of course it is not easy.
The Harder You Try, The Worse It Gets - it is true. I tried to learn programming to change a job and didn't succeed. And than I stopped trying and i'm still nowhere.
You cant achieve a state of flow until to stop trying. But it helps to get to the place of flow if you tried hard in practice until flow occurs. Especially in regards to intricate and/or complicated systems.
Heres what Im doing to feel fulfilled: Saving $20 a week. Exercising 30 mins a day Cleaning 10 mins a day Reading 10 mins a day Dealing with lifes problems 5 mins/day Adding 1 health food to diet per week Studying a new skill 10 mins a day Following these things will ensure I consistently improve with minimal effort. 🙂
To everyone that say "don't try" I share my point of view or perspective if you will. "Don't try" means failure and stillness. Yes the more we try the harder it will get BUT it's through a trial that we will fully comprehend ourselves. We all want excellence yes but as Miyamoto Musashi said "The difference between a master and a beginner is that the master failed too many times than the begginer is ready to try his first time". Excellence is not coming through stillness and listen to people who said "Don't try" excellence comes when anyone hear the voice from within say "I will try and I will get the job done. I am resilient, I will not give in or give up". Miyamoto musashi set an example.
Interesting, I've been doing bjj for 24 years and now have the pleasure of rolling with a 3x world champion. It's been a while since I fought someone soo very difficult. He tapped my twice our first session, I made adjustments and he didn't tap me again until today. This video intrigued me because that has been my mindset up until......now. relentless striving, hating to lose a fight but continuously learning. I'll buy this book, so I can deal with my own internal battles
