Relinquish Attachment to this Human World's Time; Do the Three Things with a Pure Heart

May 31, 2009

(Clearwisdom.net) During sending forth righteous thoughts recently, I always felt that there was some heavy object on the top of my head. Today the same sensation appeared again, but suddenly the following passage of the Fa flashed in my mind: "Modern science holds that time has a field. If something is not within the scope of a time-field, it is not restricted by that time." (Zhuan Falun) I immediately realized that subconsciously I still have an attachment to this human world's time, which hindered the power of my righteous thoughts.

Cultivation is about relinquishing all attachments, including those to the human world's time, space, light and colors.

Such attachments not only affect our sending forth righteous thoughts, but also influence other things that we do. For instance, sometimes we do Fa-validation projects with the human world's notion of time. As a matter of fact, if we do things with righteous thoughts, we can do them the fastest. The stronger our righteous thoughts are, the faster we can do things.

Sometimes when we do things, we fail to look at issues from the perspective of the Fa. Instead we impose limitations on ourselves, our study group and our local area. When we use the human world's notions to do things, everything we do tends to validate ourselves, our study group or our local area. We are not really validating Dafa.

Of course, I want to emphasize that at present we are still validating the Fa and saving sentient beings in the human world. Therefore, not being attached to the human world's time does not mean that we should ignore the consideration of time here. Likewise, letting go of the attachment to material interest does not equate to giving up all our money. We should maintain a clear understanding of the Fa principles while cultivating and validating the Fa in the human world. As Master put it, "Cultivation depends on the efforts of the individual while transforming gong is done by the master." (Zhuan Falun)

On the surface we are doing the three things, when in fact Master is doing everything. All that we do is simply a manifestation of Master's Fa-rectification and the salvation of sentient beings in this dimension. We need to identify our attachments and human notions and rectify ourselves according to the Fa. If we fail to remove our attachments, we will hinder Master's Fa-rectification. No Dafa disciple should ever consider himself or herself to be remarkable. We can only do well what we are supposed to do. We should never feel arrogant.

Please point out anything inappropriate in my understanding.
