(Clearwisdom.net) Time is passing by the minute, by the second; we cannot slow its pace, but we can empower our godly sides, allowing them to manifest, while constantly and rationally accommodating Master and Fa rectification. How do we do it? We have to use Dafa to measure each and every thought, let Fa guide us, use righteous thoughts granted by the Fa to examine and rectify all factors which are not right. Only then will our lives be more secure, and will we be responsible to ourselves and sentient beings, walking our paths well.
Cultivators are human beings in cultivation; they have notions and attachments. If you don't look inward and correct yourself with the Fa, the cultivation environment will change with your mind intent, and the coordination between groups will be off. The attachments we have are always selfish in nature. They conform to the old universe's law. They block the future; they are for individual satisfaction;,they induce irrational actions reinforced by sentimentality.
Master stated:
"As I've said, everything that happens today in the ordinary society is the result of Dafa disciples' thoughts." (Teaching the Fa at 2002 Fa Conference in Philadelphia, U.S.A.)
Dafa practitioner's each and every thought will influence major events. If every one of us is able to let go of the attachment to self, able to let go of selfishness in the mist of tribulation, and allow Master to decide the future, will the evil forces be able to act so frenziedly before they vanish? We are on the final steps of the path. Evil factors are greatly reduced in number. The environment is improving; there are changes happening in the world, but this should not change our heart of diligence, as this is the requirement of the Fa. Master told us a long time ago: "and persevering in true cultivation are long-term tests for every Dafa disciple." (Essentials for future advancement) (Abandon Human Attachments and Continue True Cultivation)
In order to do it well, we must study the Fa well. Fa study is the foundation for eliminating all attachments and establishing firm righteous thoughts. Fa is the foundation for every Dafa disciple. No matter how busy we are, we cannot ignore Fa study. Even if we only have a little time, even if we can only read a small paragraph, it is better to do intently than to read the entire book with an absent mind. As long as we dissolve ourselves in the Fa, those thought factors which are not right will be eliminated and our thoughts will be purified, and then we can constantly use righteous thoughts to rectify the Fa and accommodate Dafa. We will do the three things proficiently, the cultivation environment will improve, and we can truly be able to save people.
On the other hand, if we overly emphasize ourselves, focus on others' shortcomings, stop cultivating ourselves, treat tribulations with human mindsets, it will intensify conflicts, give breathing space to evil forces, cause damage to Fa rectification and not stop the persecution. Dafa practitioners are one body. Persecution of fellow practitioners is an interference in Fa rectification. It is an unpardonable sin. Why can't we let go of ourselves and cultivate well?
The time in Fa rectification with Master is limited. Do not leave room for regrets. Use your righteous thoughts as your guide, cultivate yourself well, eliminate shortcomings, and walk the final path well, because "This instant is precious beyond measure." (Teaching the Fa in the City of Chicago). Master expects us to do even better.
This is my understanding; please kindly point out shortcomings.
