(Minghui.org) After reading Master’s article “Treat Master’s Family Members Properly,” I wondered if this article related to me at all. I am a Dafa practitioner in China, I have not met Master nor any of his family in person. But I quickly realized that every article Master publishes concerns every Dafa disciple, no matter where we are. 

Master said in “Why Save Sentient Beings,”

“During the long, drawn-out passage of history, beings have reincarnated again and again, waiting for tens of millions of years; over time, the life and true body of the people on Earth (including various ethnicities) have mostly forged various kinships with the Creator, and, with these, the Creator loves His people even more.” 

Master confirmed again that both practitioners and non-practitioners in the world today have had close family ties with Him in past lives.

“During the long, drawn-out history, most beings and the world’s people have established various kinds of predestined connections with Master; especially the world’s people—most have had a kinship with Master. Most Dafa disciples, in particular, have been immediate family to Master over many lifetimes, and this is also the main reason why they have a predestined affinity to become Dafa disciples.” (“Treat Master’s Family Members Properly”)

I realized that Dafa disciples in the world today, whether they are by Master’s side or have never seen Master in person, have similar kinships with Master throughout their long histories. The physical distance between us and Master doesn’t indicate the closeness of our Master-disciple relationship.

Fellow practitioners who can regularly see Master should not get carried away thinking they are special; those who have never met Master in person should not question whether they are regarded differently. Master is watching over everyone of us and arranges our cultivation path. Any human heart or human emotion is an obstacle to cultivation.

Maybe some practitioners hoped to get benefits in cultivation by complimenting Master or members of Master’s family. But such a heart is indecent and dishonest even among non-practitioners.

Master reminded us not to “use human attachments, human notions, and human emotions to evaluate things...” (“Stay Far Away From Peril”)

The Fa-rectification is approaching the last stage. We should be more sober and rational and not let down Master’s compassion and salvation.
