Presently, Falun Dafa practitioners have eliminated most of the evil elements residing in other dimensions. However, we should remember that some evils might have managed to escape by taking advantage of practitioners' problems. Some practitioners still have thought karma and other various kinds of karma. Some practitioners still have attachments to time and to consummation, and some practitioners still have omissions in their understandings of the Fa. For example, they handled the decisive battle between the righteous and the evil elements with the logic of ordinary people, and viewed the arrangements made by the old forces in the context of the human notions with which they were familiar. They understood the Fa-rectification situation that Teacher explained to us, but only from their human side. They limited their understanding to some prophecies or by what other practitioners had seen at their levels.
These problems might give the evil elements opportunities to take advantage of us to persecute the Fa, the practitioners and the sentient beings. If we don't strive forward, the evil elements can reside and grow in the weakest places within our bodies, our hearts and our field, as they did before, because of our omissions.
Teacher said in "Righteous Thoughts," "Dafa disciples are now sentient beings' only, sole hope for salvation. So, in order to do Fa-rectification more effectively, while you clarify the facts you have to take sending righteous thoughts very seriously, and in a timely manner purge the evil and your own problems so that you won't be taken advantage of by the evil." Thus during the Fa-rectification process, we need to make the best use of time to clarify the facts, in a deeper and more refined way, to as many people as possible. When sending forth righteous thoughts, we need to require ourselves to do it as many times as possible and to do it with the same high quality as we did in the decisive battle most recently. We should purge the evil and our own problems in a timely manner, so that we won't be taken advantage of by the evil. We should strive forward more diligently with each effort because we are "now sentient beings' only, sole hope for salvation." Teacher told us to do so for the sake of saving sentient beings. How can we not be strict with ourselves, based on the requirements of the Fa at different levels?
I hope that we can all reread Teacher's article "A Dialogue with Time" [from Essentials for Further Advancement] in order to keep looking within ourselves, and to understand the Fa from within the Fa. Let's also read "Melt Into the Fa" [from Essentials for Further Advancement] again in order to melt ourselves into the Fa, so that all the Falun Dafa practitioners can truly and harmoniously become one body, within the Fa, that is "indestructible like diamond." Then the remaining evil elements will be quickly eliminated, as expected. I want to end my article with Teacher's words from "Righteous Thoughts," "To reduce the losses, and to save sentient beings, put your Dafa disciples' powerful righteous thoughts to full use! Show your Mighty Virtue!"
The above is my personal understanding. Please correct me if I have stated anything inappropriate.
