(Minghui.org) When I read the article, “About Mechanically Doing the 'Three Things'” (http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2012/5/9/133172.html ) on the Minghui website, I found one section to be startling: "Many of us have cultivated for many years and some practitioners have cultivated to a very high level. Many of us who have cultivated well are feeling like it is dull to stay in this human society. Many who have reached Consummation or are about to reach Consummation also say that they do not want to stay in human society even for a minute. But our reason for being here is not for our personal Consummation. We are practitioners, and we are here to assist Teacher to rectify the Fa and save sentient beings. If we find that we are doing things mechanically or having such a thought, we must check our mindsets: are we simply trying to free ourselves or save sentient beings? If it's really for saving sentient beings, then how can we do so mechanically and not pay attention to the result?" Previously I had noticed this type of viewpoint, but had never felt as strongly about it as I do now.
Up to this point, there have been too many practitioners that judge with their notions, evaluate with human thoughts, and see what is not good as good. Moreover, a lot of practitioners have formed a kind of general agreement among one another, regarding how they judge things. Actually, with regard to each individual, I don't need to intervene in other people's thoughts and methods of doing things. However, today Dafa disciples are achieving the most selfless and greatest lives in the future universe. We coexist with the Fa-rectification period and are helping Master rectify the Fa for the first time ever in the colossal firmament since the beginning of time. I understand that to assist Master to rectify the Fa is to act in accordance, with one's utmost efforts, with Master's requirements for Fa-rectification period Dafa disciples, instead of using human thoughts to so-called “help”. When people talk about helping, that just means using abilities to go that little extra mile to help someone do something. However, us assisting Master to rectify the Fa is accomplishing whatever Master has arranged for us to do. It's not about using human thinking to evaluate and help Master do things. For all of the lives in the universe, including those righteous gods that follow Master in rectifying the Fa, to be able to do things in the period that Master rectifies the Fa, and to act in accordance with Master's requirements, is supreme glory.
With one thought Master can create a new universe, and the lives in the old universe are not needed to lay any foundation. It is Master's boundless mercy that endows us, beings of the old cosmos that face elimination, with this incomparably precious opportunity of self-achievement and entering the new universe. So, as Master has not yet ended this matter, some Dafa disciples who have come bringing their pledges have not arrived at the standard. Many beings that had the heavenly courage to come down to this mundane world haven't learned the truth, and the beings behind them are eager to be saved. Every extended moment of this old universe is accompanied by Master bearing an unfathomably tremendous amount, as well as Master's immense mercy. You say you feel it's boring and that you don't want to stay here. You think that you've already gained salvation, you're protected and it's all alright. Is that possible? Such a selfish mindset is regarded as a result of one having cultivated well, and as being normal. According to those Dafa disciples who have followed Master through to today, is such thinking correct?
In one of Shen Yun's performances called, 'Mu Guiying Commands the Troops', I truly felt that each individual, one's family and the country are at different levels. When the last male in that family was killed on the battlefield, the main actress buried her emotions and those of her family, and went for the whole entity (the country). That scene often brought me to tears. That is the culture gods bestowed to man! Our achievement will be earning the foremost title and being the most magnificent beings in the new cosmos: Master's Fa-Rectification Period Dafa Disciples. If we are not even up to the standards of the humans in ancient times, have we cultivated well? Would the beings in the old universe let go of such a selfish being? Those bad gods will relentlessly act according to what they think to do things, and they'll do so all the way to the end. They can see Master bearing everything for us, and giving us everything that is most wonderful.
People who are cultivating bring with them human mindsets. But, they must know what is good and what is not good. Otherwise, how can one cultivate whilst evaluating things with the human mindset and human thinking? If one is good at everything, where is the need for effort? Sometimes I think, fellow practitioners, please don't treat yourselves so poorly. Don't regard those messed up things, which aren't you, as you! But, when the old universe is at its end, and amidst the persecution and interference, when the old universe's lives want to use anything and everything to interfere with Dafa disciples, how can we tell the difference between right and wrong? How can we discern between good and evil? Only with Master's Great Law of the Universe are we able to!
May we cherish it all. May we find our true selves with the Fa and fulfil our grand pledges that we made when we came here!
The above are just some of my thoughts. Fellow practitioners, if anything not correct, please kindly correct me.
