Master JiGong said,

"The so-called HABITS are just the old views and old ways of each individual

That one has accumulated from one’s numerous past lives.

All such terms as MY, it’s done by ME or I WAS BORN WITH THAT

Are attachments and ignorant

To subdue ignorance, if you say it is hard, it is hard

If you say is simple, it is simple

As long as we change the way of thinking, it would be fine

Once thinking and calculation (bargaining) is involved, it is not TAO

That is called human heart. That is called cleverness

Once the Human Heart or Mind is activated

This WISDOM is not the same as before

Wisdom and Cleverness are not the same

Wisdom originates from the Heavenly Heart (Conscience)

It is unbiased and unprejudiced (the middle way)

Once a person uses the human mind and cleverness

He would lead himself astray

What is cleverness?

A clever mind easily falls into confrontation or opposite

In having a mind of confrontation, you may harm yourself

When you are about to do this, you’ll think: Is there any benefit?

When you are about to do that, you’ll think: Will it hurt me?

Hence we say, when you do things with cleverness

You may mislead yourself

Take for example

You come here today to listen to TAO (for newcomer)

Once you step into the door

You immediately think: Is this an evil sect?

 ‘One should first observe, then judge with wisdom’

Hence we say, this Cleverness is already beaten by Wisdom

What do you wish to have: Cleverness or Wisdom?

‘Those with great wisdom need to appear foolish’

Clever people show off themselves at all times and wish to climb upward

So as to make themselves known to others

As for the wise, they fear that if they climb too high

They would fall too badly

There is a saying

‘The clever ones are conversely harmed by their cleverness’

Big trees do invite strong wind!

Now that you have climbed really high, when the wind comes

Won’t you be the first one to be swept down?

Hence we say: Our aspiration and moral integrity must be high

Yet the ‘air’ of our mind (arrogance) must be low" 

Cleverness? Just be careful! In words and deeds!
