人生的最高境界是心静，最难做到的也是心静。
所谓心静，不是完全无欲无求，而是以静心看世界。
就像王籍，即使蝉声高唱，鸟鸣声声，他却觉得“蝉噪林逾静，鸟鸣山更幽”；
就像陶渊明，纵然身处闹市，车马喧嚣，他却高歌“问君何能尔，心远地自偏”；
还有王维，走到溪水尽头，仿佛无路可走，他却顺势坐下，看天上的云卷云舒，吟咏着“行到水穷处，坐看云起时”。
这份淡然潇洒的心静，惊艳了世人一千多年。

这首诗名为《终南别业》，全文如下：
中岁颇好道，晚家南山陲。兴来每独往，胜事空自知。行到水穷处，坐看云起时。偶然值林叟，谈笑无还期。
王维我们都知道是唐朝著名的山水田园诗人，后世称之为“诗佛”。
他年少成名，30岁便进士及第，这在“五十少进士”的唐朝已是极为难得。
早年的他虽然也有过“致君尧舜上，再使风俗淳”的政治抱负，一场安史之乱，让他终于看淡官场名利。
当时的他因为太过出名，而被安禄山盯上，当了“伪臣”。

即使他从未帮安禄山出谋划策，甚至给自己下药躲避朝堂，但在叛乱结束后还是被扣上了“反臣”的帽子。
幸亏他的弟弟王缙极力求情，再加上一首《凝碧诗》“万户伤心生野烟,百官何日更朝天”，让他逃过一劫。
当时的他被降为“太子中允”（五品），最后官终“尚书右丞”（四品）。
如今我们看来他应该混得不错，还升官了，但其实自从被赦免后，他就看淡仕途，过起了半官半隐，闲云野鹤的日子。
而这首《终南别业》就是他晚年隐居终南的代表作。
 中岁颇好道，晚家南山陲。
诗歌开头这两句，便点明了他这个时期的所追求的理想和生活。
他在中年的时候便厌恶世俗，笃信佛教，然而一直到了晚年才归隐终南山。
王维的母亲是虔诚的佛教徒，而他的名字“维摩诘”，本就是佛教著名居士，从小他就跟着母亲吃斋念佛。
虽然他在30岁便高中状元，但是却一直被奸臣排挤，他很早便有归隐田园的念头，只是心中还是放不下功名，直到安史之乱后，才下定决心归隐。
而“终南山”历来便是隐者的理想之地，姜子牙、张良、药王孙思邈、王重阳等人都曾隐居于此。
王维在此置办别业，足见远离尘世之心。

 兴来每独往，胜事空自知。
写的是他在终南山的生活。
每当兴致上来时，他就在山中信步漫游，那种快意自在的心境，不足为外人道也。
短短10字，一个闲云野鹤，枕石漱流的潇洒隐士形象便跃然纸上。
在山中的他抛却了官场的尔虞我诈，世俗的纷纷扰扰，独与自然为伴，心中自是畅快无比。
这里的“独”，并非真的指孤独，因为根据他的诗作来看，好友张諲、裴迪等人还是经常和他来往。
而这里的“空”也不是无奈落寞之意，诗人之所以用这两个词，是为了强调山中环境的空灵，生活的清幽，以及他心境的淡然。


行到水穷处，坐看云起时。
这两句是千古流传的名言，惊艳了世人1000多年，也道出了人生的最高境界是心静。
他在山中漫步，不知不觉走到了溪水的尽头，眼前仿佛已经没有路了。
他索性袖袍一撩，便在溪边的一块石头上坐下，抬头望着天空中漂浮不定的云。
陆游游山西村时是“山穷水复疑无路，柳暗花明又一村”，有一种豁然开朗的境界，而此时的王维，更是进入了一种物我一体的境界。
流水白云本就是自在的象征，而诗人此时的悠闲淡然更是将这种“静”的氛围渲染到了淋漓尽致，令人心向往之。

偶然值林叟，谈笑无还期。
最后他还在山间遇到了林叟，两人无拘无束地谈笑着，以致忘了时间。
诗歌到此结束，但是诗人那种超然物外、洒脱自然、物我两忘的空灵之境却令人回味无穷。
人生不如意十之八九，没有谁能一帆风顺。
行走在人生旅途中，鲜花和荆棘，坦途和坎坷，艳阳和风雨，总是相互交织。
人生没有过不去的坎，只有过不去的心情。
无论得意还是失意，无论成功还是失败，无论顺境还是逆境，我们都需要“心静”。

A shadowy haze lingered over the river, which glistened and sparkled in the moonlight.

"It was a lovely vision," said Mr. Papineau, who had just performed the feat of canoeing to the foot of the Chaudiere Falls for the first time. "On our return we climbed the rugged cliff on the south side, and never shall I forget the panorama that spread out before us. The sun, sinking slowly behind the Laurentian hills, had clothed himself with a robe of splendor. The long reflections lay soft on the waters of the river below. The clouds of ascending mist from the Chaudiere took a thousand shades of color as the western sky faded slowly from crimson into gold and from gold to green and gray, and finally displayed dark shapes, out of which imagination might well have formed a thousand monsters.* * Louis Joseph, afterwards known as the Demosthenes of Canada, and who almost succeeded in making Canada a Republic, with himself as President, was evidently much impressed with the scene, which he described as follows: "Le soleil etait pret decendre sous l'horison, la mureille tout limpide etait d'une transparence vivre, tout penetree de lumiere vaguement prismatiseé." "As we watched the gathering shadows my thoughts went back two hundred years, to the time when Champlain went on his first trip up the 'Riviere des Algoumequins,' as he called it. About two years before he took the trip he sent Nicholas de Vignan, a young Frenchman, up the river with some friendly Indians, and Nicholas had returned with the marvellous story that he had reached the North Sea. He said that the journey could be made in a few days. He also gave an account of having seen the wreck of an English ship. "Champlain was completely taken in, and lost no time in starting off to verify the discovery for which the world had been looking for some time. His fleet consisted of two canoes with two Indians and three Frenchmen, one of whom was Dg employment to over one hundred men. Fortunately for the pioneers of the Ottawa, they were not dependent upon the small revenue derived from the cultivation of the land, but had other resources which afforded them much greater remuneration. The British Navy, which hitherto had been dependent upon Russia for its cordage and lumber, had to look elsewhere for its supply of hemp and timber, owing to the ports of the Baltic having been closed to British ships. The price of hemp having risen from ￡25 to ￡118 per ton, they undertook the cultivation of it, and raised over three-fourths of the amount raised in Lower Canada at that time. The exportation of lumber and vegetable alkali, or potash, were also great sources of revenue. In the new clearances were tons of wood ashes from which the lye was extracted and boiled till it looked like molten iron, a barrel of which sold at that time for thirty dollars.

Philemon Wright was not the man to be deterred from climbing the ladder of success, even though he had to mount it by the rungs of adverse circumstances.

The Chief was in Quebec with Hannah and Abbie awaiting the arrival of Rug, who had been sent by his father to the Mother Land to dispose of two cargoes of timber. It was an unusually cold evening in June. Snow had been falling all day. The neighboring hills were covered with large feathery crystals, which, however, soon melted as the sun appeared for a moment before sinking behind the gray walls of the Castle St. Louis. Just as the evening gun was fired, news had reached the union Hotel that a vessel had been sighted near the Island of Orleans. It was ascertained that it w against a sea voyage from the time they left Liverpool. "Nor is this all," he said; "I have something better still on board for the new settlement, namely, twenty-five English families, who are going to take up land in the township and pay for it in work." "And who nearly turned mutineers," added the captain, slapping him on the shoulder, "did they not, Wright?" "How was that?" asked the Chief. "When we boarded the vessel at Liverpool," replied Rug, "some were bright and cheerful, but most of them were in tears, which showed that they did not leave the Old Land without a struggle. We soon weighed anchor and were under sail with a fair wind, but it came round to the east and blew fresher, so that we were forced to come to anchor not far from the place we left. The ship, as you may see, was fitted up for the timber trade, and has only a small cabin or quarter-deck. On each side are ranged two tiers of berths for passengers providing their own bedding. Along the open space in the middle we placed two rows of large chests which were used sometimes as tables, sometimes as seats—all of which I shall show you presently. There was much noise and confusion before all found berths; crying children, swearing sailors, scolding women, who had not been able to secure the beds they wanted, produced a chorus of a very melancholy nature. The disagreeableness of it was heightened by the darkness of the night and the rolling and a new and better country. "As we neared the banks of Newfoundland a most extraordinary phenomenon was produced by the dashing of the salt water against the bow of the ship in the evening. The water seemed on fire and produced a very fine effect. The next day a mass of ice appeared about two hundred yards distant. It was almost half a mile in length, and was moving south-east. Soon after we found the channel between Cape Breton and Cape Ray, and got into the ice. The captain sent eight men to the bow with fenders. One piece knocked splinters off the bow and threw us all down. About five days later we reached the Island of Anticosti, but I was too ill to see it. We saw porpoises in shoals plunging about the ship, while the sailors tried to harpoon them beneath the bow. About two hundred and eighty miles below Quebec the pilot came on board. His number was painted in large characters on his sail as well as on his boat. He had a cask of fresh water and some maple sugar, which he sold at an extortionate price to the passengers.

AN INDIAN SUITOR. 1803. Machecawa and his friend O'Jawescawa became frequent visitors at the Wigwam. They would come in the morning, uninvited, and sit silently all day long before the open fire and observe all that was going on. The spinning-wheel and hand-loom were objects of unceasing interest to them, and though it proved a great distraction to the children in their studies, and to the girls in the performance of their domestic duties, to have them there, they were always treated not only with respect but with consideration and kindness. One morning Machecawa stood gazing intently into the fire. His face wore an expression of perplexity. At length he turned to the White Chief, who was explaining a mathematical problem to one of his boys, and said: "Big Injun, he want to speak his thoughts from books. He want to know white man's Manitou." "May I teach him, father? Just for an hour every day?" said Chrissy, a tall, fair, thoughtful girl of seventyour neck, Machecawa?" said Bearie, the second son, a short, well knit, sturdy-looking youth of eighteen, whose every expression reflected a bright, happy, generous disposition. "She am my Manitou," replied the Indian. &q39;you no eat no teeng seex days.' By em by I am dream some teeng, me, dat some teeng she am my manitou. She help me kill beeg bear; she mak dem Iroquois dogs run like one wild moose. My fadder she am pleese; she make my manitou on my arm—see!" he said, rolling up his sleeve. On his shoulder was the rude outline of a fish, which had been tatooed with sharp bones and with the juice of berries rubbed in. "But what is in the little bag?" asked Bearie. "Will you let me see it?" After a good deal of reluctance he gave in at last, and two curious boys untied the precious parcel, while the others, equally curious, looked over his shoulders at a few old broken fish bones which were all the little bag contained. "Well, old man," said Bearie, slowly replacing the sacred relics, "we put our faith in something better than that. The white man trusts the Great Spirit in heaven to care for him and to take him to heaven when he dies." "Any bear in hebben?" asked the Indian. "No," said Bearie, "only good people." "Dat hebben she am no good for big Injun," said Machecawa, sadly. "De happy hunting ground she am full of moose, buffalo, bear, beaver. She am far, far away at de end of land, where de sun she sleep—two, tree moons away. One beeg dog she am cross, an' she bark at dead Injun, but he go on, an' on, an' on, an' den he am glad." It began to dawn upon the vigilant mother at length that it was not so much the wonders of civilization nor the desire to "speak his thoughts from books" that led Machecawa day after day to the Wigwam, as an ever-increasing interest in her fun-loving daughter, Abbie, who was a year younger than Chrissy, and who seemed unconscious of the fact that the eyes of the red chief were ever upon her.学说值得怀疑，这就要求人们进一步去探索宇宙的秘密，从而推进了天文学和地理学的发展。1492年，意大利著名的航海家哥伦布发现新大陆，麦哲伦和他的同伴绕地球一周，证明地球是圆形的，使人们开始真正认识地球。[4] 对他国的影响 在教会严密控制下的中世纪，也发生过轰轰烈烈的宗教革命。因为天主教的很多教义不符合圣经的教诲，而加入了太多教皇的个人意志以及各类神学家的自身成果，所以很多信徒开始质疑天主教的教义和组织，发起回归圣经的行动来。捷克的爱国主义者、布拉格大学校长扬·胡斯（1369～1415年）在君士坦丁堡的宗教会议上公开谴责德意志封建主与天主教会对捷克的压迫和剥削。他虽然被反动教会处以火刑，但他的革命活动在社会上引起了强烈的反应。捷克农民在胡斯党人的旗帜下举行起义，这次运动也波及波兰。1517年，在德国，马丁·路德（1483～1546年）反对教会贩卖赎罪符，与罗马教皇公开决裂。1521年，路德又在沃尔姆国会上揭露罗马教廷的罪恶，并提出建立基督教新教的主张。新教的教义得到许多国家的支持，波兰也深受影响。

It began to dawn upon the vigilant mother at length that it was not so much the wonders of civilization nor the desire to "speak his thoughts from books" that led Machecawa day after day to the Wigwam, as an ever-increasing interest in her fun-loving daughter, Abbie, who was a year younger than Chrissy, and who seemed unconscious of the fact that the eyes of the red chief were ever upon her.学说值得怀疑，这就要求人们进一步去探索宇宙的秘密，从而推进了天文学和地理学的发展。1492年，意大利著名的航海家哥伦布发现新大陆，麦哲伦和他的同伴绕地球一周，证明地球是圆形的，使人们开始真正认识地球。[4] 对他国的影响 在教会严密控制下的中世纪，也发生过轰轰烈烈的宗教革命。因为天主教的很多教义不符合圣经的教诲，而加入了太多教皇的个人意志以及各类神学家的自身成果，所以很多信徒开始质疑天主教的教义和组织，发起回归圣经的行动来。捷克的爱国主义者、布拉格大学校长扬·胡斯（1369～1415年）在君士坦丁堡的宗教会议上公开谴责德意志封建主与天主教会对捷克的压迫和剥削。他虽然被反动教会处以火刑，但他的革命活动在社会上引起了强烈的反应。捷克农民在胡斯党人的旗帜下举行起义，这次运动也波及波兰。1517年，在德国，马丁·路德（1483～1546年）反对教会贩卖赎罪符，与罗马教皇公开决裂。1521年，路德又在沃尔姆国会上揭露罗马教廷的罪恶，并提出建立基督教新教的主张。新教的教义得到许多国家的支持，波兰也深受影响。  
愿你“行到水穷处”时，都能有“坐看云起时”的淡然心境！
