(Minghui.org) While taking a nap I had a dream that I took a test. Copying from someone else is the norm, but I did not. When the scores came out, the class commissioner, who is in charge of studies, only got 60 points. My test paper showed that I answered all the questions correctly, but I did not see my score. The highest score in the class was 94. Teacher asked the person who got the highest score to show his paper to everyone. When he showed it to me, I asked him for his address so we could keep in touch, and then I woke up.
I did not copy from anyone and yet I answered all the questions correctly. I realized that this was to tell me that there is no reference in cultivation, and everyone is different. The highest score among my fellow practitioners was 94. The person everyone thought cultivated the best scored only 60. I realized what I should now do in the future, and I thanked Teacher for his inspiration and encouragement.
I recently felt that my state was not so good, so I stayed at home and studied the Fa. I happened to be studying “To the European Fa Conference,” in which every sentence Teacher said appeared to be meant for me.
I began to truly cultivate in Falun Dafa in 2009 when this article had just come out. I read it, but it did not make much of an impression on me. In the past few years, I made some progress, but also had failures. When I read this article again, I felt that it was talking to me. However, why did it feel like I had never read it before?
The reason was that I had never truly cultivated in Dafa. I did not truly use divine thoughts to think about things, and did not truly treat myself as a cultivator. I can now truly feel Teacher’s benevolence and greatness, and can deeply appreciate the seriousness of cultivation and the urgency of this time period, as well as the sorrow there will be when the final selection process occurs.
If any practitioner is in the same poor state that I used to be in, please review Teacher’s article - “To the European Fa Conference” ( http://en.minghui.org/html/articles/2009/11/22/112553.html ) and study the Fa more.
Please point out my deficiencies.
