(Clearwisdom.net) The Fa-rectification is nearing completion and the evil has been eliminated in large quantities. Only very small amounts of the evil forces are left now, so how can they still madly persecute us?
I think that this is because we Falun Dafa practitioners, as a whole, have not worked well together as one body. It is like a game of tug-of-war; people have to work in sync, and if everybody works together, the evil forces will be finished. But we have not put forth enough efforts in a concentrated manner. Some practitioners are making an effort, some are waiting and watching, and some are causing more hindrance than help. Many reasons why the evil forces can still persecute us madly originate from the omissions of practitioners. The diligent practitioners are doing their best to do the three things well; they are very busy and have very limited time. At the same time, they are also helping the fellow practitioners who have not stepped forward and are rectifying [the thoughts of] those who have "enlightened" along an evil path. When no one embraces an evil path and every fellow practitioner steps forward to validate Dafa, the persecution will end.
Helping the practitioners who have not stepped forward to validate Falun Dafa is very important in opposing the persecution. To help these practitioners, one should have a strong basis in the principles of the Fa and help them to understand the meaning and significance of doing the three things well. One should study the Fa together with them well and help them to understand that cultivation during the Fa-rectification period is different from ordinary personal cultivation. One should also encourage them and help them to do truth clarification work. Gradually, they will do the three things well. Many fellow practitioners who stepped forward did so with the attachment of pursuing personal Consummation, and they thought, "The Fa-rectification is about to end and I will not be able to reach Consummation if I do not step forward now." If one steps forward with such an attachment, one cannot do the three things well to validate Dafa. How can one not have omissions with such an attachment? He thus becomes a target of the evil forces' persecution. If he "enlightened" along an evil path in a vicious environment, he would destroy himself and encourage the evil forces' arrogance at the same time. The persecutors would make the persecution more frenzied when they saw the "results" (of being commended and rewarded for the persecution by the evil regime).
Many fellow practitioners did not pay attention to their safety while doing truth clarification work, wanting to show that they were not afraid. They said that they "did not have the attachment of fear and had cultivated well." However, they were illegally abducted by the authorities. This caused other fellow practitioners to get tied up with trying to rescue them and interrupted the work of validating Dafa. These fellow practitioners all had the mentalities of validating oneself and of "heroism."
Another reason why many fellow practitioners were abducted was because they appeared to be irrational without any common sense and did not pay attention to their safety. If everybody pays more attention to his or her safety while doing truth clarification work and does the work with wisdom, the evil forces will not be able to abduct and persecute him or her. The evil forces in jails and labor camps will then lose their strength, and the environment will become better. More practitioners will step forward and they will also be able to save more lives and to complete their historical missions. Individual safety involves fellow practitioners' rational mentality and effort, and it affects the progress of the Fa-rectification. Everyone should pay attention to safety.
The Fa-rectification is nearing completion, but the evil forces are still so frenzied. One important reason is that many fellow practitioners do not pay enough attention to sending forth righteous thoughts. Practitioners who do not send forth righteous thoughts seriously, very likely have the attachment of being selfish. They do not clean their own spaces and thus the evil forces have places to hide. The evil forces not only persecute these practitioners, but they also persecute other fellow practitioners, causing difficulties to Fa validation efforts and delaying the end of the persecution. It appears that such practitioners are safe; they do not eliminate the evil forces and the evil forces do not persecute them. It seems that these practitioners are not persecuted, but actually they are persecuted the most because the evil forces' final objective is to stop them from being Falun Dafa practitioners of the Fa-rectification period.
If every one of our fellow practitioners pays attention to sending forth righteous thoughts and to cleaning out his or her space, the evil persecution should end soon. We all hope that the persecution will end soon. Practitioners should all take a look inside to see how they themselves have done in opposing the persecution, to see their insufficiencies and negligence, and make up for these drawbacks, in order to catch up with the progress of Fa-rectification and to end the persecution quickly.
