Master Kong or Kong Fut-zi
(Latinized as Confucius)
& his mastered “The Analects”
~ A briefing by Vimal Kodai ~
Confucius
A practitioner
of skills in the art of social philosophy, societal compassion,
self-discipline, moral virtues and moral values—Confucius drove ethical,
disciplinary, political, social, moral and philosophical teachings into the
lives of those who sought for a lifestyle that brightens their perspective
about life. A man of modest and humble background, Confucius maintained lots of
true virtues in several aspects of positive thinking and reliable knowledge. So
that many would be able to benefit from finding solutions to unknown puzzles
troubling them on daily basis, Confucius settled himself as an instructional
master and a philosophical guide to his fellow countrymen.
Born in 551 BC and passing away in 479 BC, Confucius had
a lifetime expertly used in the deriving of fresh joy and happiness for many
individuals. As he had so many positive motives and a show of passion for life,
this thinker had a distinct character that made him go on the quest for
alternate routes and newer means in the thinking processes. He adopted
strategic foundations and modelled exceptional skills in the art of
philosophical and ethical practice. This was achieved with such a distinct charisma
that his teachings and principles are well-regarded to this present day era.
A man of multiple talent and exceptional habits, he believed
in his abilities and potentials to make matters better and progressively
stronger for the entire world. He had the aspirations of a fellow thinker whose
framework was based on simplistic but practical approaches that could enhance
and better the lives of many with the powerful ‘words of mouth’ and through his
constructive sets of writings.
Confucius (or, Master Kong Fut-zi as per his original
name), strongly believed in setting goals that would lead to healthy thinking,
and that these would portray meaningful results for his disciples and to his fellow
compatriots. A man who reflected on his
ideas and principles, Confucius relied on the two latter for a dignified series
of instructions and way of handling life that would surpass other traditions.
His intellectual skills adapted to his way of his life. This way of life
resonated very immensely in the lives of those who followed his instructions
and sets of principles.
The
Analects
The Analects is a very insightful
source of intelligible evidence of Confucius’s expertise. It is a thorough
compilation of what he said through his conversations and presentations. It is
not about what he wrote and prescribed, but it is a digest about what he
dictated to his disciples. In fact, The Analects
is written and compiled by Confucius’s disciples, and the latter’s disciples as
well.
