(Minghui.org) Master told us in “Wake Up” that most of us Dafa practitioners will join Him as the Fa rectifies the human world. I enlightened that this is the case because most of the practitioners have failed to keep up with the progress of Fa-rectification.
Cultivation is like attending school and we must meet all requirements in order to advance to the next grade and eventually graduate high school or college. If any student becomes lazy and fails to complete the required tasks, they will not be able to move to the next grade or graduate with a diploma. Such students may be given the opportunity to repeat a grade to make up for the learning loss.
My understanding is that the current arrangement for the Fa-rectification of the human world may be due to a significant number of practitioners falling behind and becoming grade-repeating students.
Not all who will stay behind for the Fa-rectification of the human world are grade-repeating students. However, since there are many grade-repeating students, better-cultivating practitioners will be re-arranged to stay behind for the overall adjustment of the Fa-rectification process.
Repeating a grade is not a simple matter, and there will be a big change in the overall arrangement to accommodate these grade-repeating students, like many things that have happened in the past two years. When a practitioner falls behind and must stay in the human world for longer than expected, his living environment, his life, his social relationships and the people waiting for him to save are all needed to be re-arranged, and a lot of intricate things will be adjusted, which will affect far more than just the practitioner himself. The overall society will also need to be adjusted to provide all the required conditions.
It is my understanding that Master had initially planned to have the divine power manifested during the period of Fa-rectification of the human world, but that the plan has to be changed because so many practitioners will now join Him as the Fa rectifies the human world, which will complicate things and cause more interference and difficulties to Master.
Extra Blessing
It is an honor for us cultivators to obtain Dafa and cultivate during the Fa-rectification period. Whether we are aware of it or not, we have all the conditions to reach consummation. If one can maintain a good cultivation state, everything should go smoothly. But the constant delay of the Fa-rectification timeline indicates that we are far away from meeting the requirements and we have not done well. There is no external cause to blame.
Everything in the human world can change quickly. According to the original arrangements, when the persecution ends, people still have chances to be saved, but the practitioners’ cultivation will end immediately. It is not a simple matter when a practitioner is unable to meet the standard and fails to save the many lives he’s supposed to save. If many practitioners are unable to meet the standard, it would be a true regret.
Now Dafa has created a new opportunity for us, which is the cosmos’ compassion. It is an extra blessing for us.
Leaving No More Regret
In order to leave no more regrets, I think we should focus on the following three aspects:
Reach the realm of true selflessness
We should let go of our personal understanding of consummation and reach the realm of true selflessness.
We can no longer view the cultivation during the Fa-rectification with the old concepts, or consider cultivation as an investment with consummation as the return.
The most fundamental and prerequisite for consummation is to reach the xinxing level for consummation and become a magnificent selfless being. Each Dafa practitioner is the hope of all the beings he represents in his paradise, and the hope of the people around him in this world. We should try to save them all before we reach consummation.
Maybe we should ask ourselves this question: If we can save all lives and make up for our mistakes by giving up everything we have, would we choose to do it?
Although it is not like this in reality, when faced with this question, we may find out where our cultivation is based and whether it is for selfish or selfless purposes. It may allow us to identity some of our attachments and strive forward. We have already missed many beings we should have saved. We can only cultivate diligently and not miss any more opportunities from now on.
Improve as a whole body
We should also break through our own boundary and improve with other practitioners as a whole body.
Many practitioners have cultivated well. Through this new arrangement of the Fa-rectification of the human world, I realize that only when the whole body reaches the standard Master requires of us, can the Fa-rectification process not be delayed.
If that’s the case, each one of our cultivation states also concerns others. We are a whole body, with some of us serving as the left leg and others as the right leg. Both legs have to move together to go forward or to go upstairs. We should treat other practitioners with kindness, help each other, and stop looking down on others or compete with them, so as to improve together.
Higher Standards for Veteran Practitioners
Veteran practitioners should hold themselves to higher standards.
As veteran practitioners, we have to look within ourselves more strictly from now on. If we had all practiced well in the past, things would not be like this now.
Given the opportunity again, we can no longer hold ourselves to the same standards as before. Since we have built up some foundation, we should hold ourselves to higher standards in this new round of opportunities.
This period originally did not belong to us, so we must cherish it. Not only should we make rapid progress in cultivation, but we should also assist the process as much as possible, and avoid playing a negative role or becoming an obstacle.
The above is just my personal view.
