(Clearwisdom.net) Of all the human notions that restrain us, those existing commonly in the whole cultivation group are the most influential.
One of the fellow practitioners once did well in the validation of the Fa, but he gradually neglected cultivation and sending forth the righteous thoughts due to deep involvement in business. Some practitioners talked with him, hoping that he could strive forward in his cultivation, but the efforts were of little use. Later most of the practitioners concluded that "he was hopeless because he is too occupied in business," and became more and more estranged from him. As a result, this practitioner did get entirely absorbed in the business for two years, losing the precious environment to advance with everyone else.
Although he was mainly responsible for his own state of cultivation, I felt the rest of us also played a negative role. Many practitioners developed the same notion, which must have inadvertently affected him. The old forces then used our notion as an excuse to persecute him, preventing him from striving forward in cultivation.
Teacher asked us not to let any practitioner lag behind. Before helping them, we should first get rid of the negative thoughts in our own minds about them in our realms. To make it, every one of us should cleanse our own realms. Then we should send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the dark minions interfering with him in his dimension, and help him to improve his understanding of the principles of the Fa.
I believe that the effect of our help under various circumstances will not be good unless we do it in this way. In many cases, behind that problematic practitioner there is something directly opposing the Dafa practitioners who are helping the practitioner. Only after all the practitioners help to cleanse the evil beings in other dimensions by sending forth righteous thoughts together, will that person awaken more easily and follow the Fa's requirements more closely. Otherwise, it might be very hard for him or her to recover alone, because this person's attachments are under the control of the evil and he or she is interfered with doubly by the attachment and evil's control.
I hope that our fellow practitioners who have encountered similar situations will break free from our notions and, along with actively sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil in other dimensions, help those who have gone astray.
