(Clearwisdom.net) We all know that practitioners are protected during dangerous moments during their Dafa cultivation. In reality, however, many fellow practitioners here in China have not done very well on this. They don't want to keep Dafa materials at home, or they cover Dafa books with white paper, patterned paper, or even paper printed with things from pop culture. When practitioners are illegally arrested, they first think whether they have Dafa materials that might be found. Deleting Dafa material from the computer is commonplace in some projects with safety concerns. These actions have been naturally imprinted in our thoughts.

At critical times, on the one hand we depend on Teacher for protection, and on the other, we focus on how to prove to the persecutors that we have no Falun Gong books or materials on hand. Are such thoughts righteous?

We all know that Dafa books are incomparably precious and sacred, and that we must treat them with a reverent heart. We are with the Fa. Teacher bears a lot for us. He nurses and protects us all the time. Many practitioners may say that they have begged Teacher, and have done such and such, but it wasn't helpful, and Teacher didn't take care of them. Our views and ideas behind everything we do is infinitely varied however. Have we achieved the standard required by Dafa? We have begged Teacher while saying to the evildoers, "Look I have nothing on hand. You have no evidence to persecute me." Aren't you trying to avoid danger from the standpoint of human attachments by following the evil's requirements, and thus won't you be persecuted? Aren't you acknowledging the logic used by the evil to persecute us?

I am not saying that we should not pay great attention to safety. We must rationally and soberly weigh our views against the Fa, and unceasingly check ourselves against its standards.

By believing in Teacher and Dafa, you will certainly feel the sacredness and protection of Dafa at critical moments. I came across a strange thing several days ago. I was using a cell phone to clarify the truth and somehow felt unsure and uneasy about what I was doing. A few words suddenly came to mind, "I have Teacher looking after me." I struggled with the evil thoughts, suspicion, and fear, and eventually denied them, such that only pure righteous thoughts remained. I became determined and calm about what I was doing. I finally found I was getting bigger and bigger, and realized that a Fa-rectification period Dafa practitioner's mission and responsibility are truly sacred!

This is my limited understanding. Please point out if there is any mistake.
