(Clearwisdom.net) When I read the recent experience-sharing articles on the web, I felt that something wasn't quite right. Some practitioners expressed deep regret and remorse after failing in face-to-face truth-clarification. Many couldn't let go of these feelings for a long time. It is my understanding that regret and remorse are also human notions. If we clearly understand the Fa, then we can easily let go of them.
Master said:
“Of course, the effect of the Fa-rectification's situation is part of it too, but if the Dafa disciples don't all clarify the truth to individual people, or clarify the truth to society, then as for the process of ordinary people's minds being transformed at the surface level, that's not something gods will do for them on an individual basis. So things that involve the surface level of human beings have to be done by Dafa disciples.”
“People with predestined relationships and those who can be saved can be made to--made to by Master's Law Bodies, righteous gods, or the immense field that Dafa has formed in the world--appear right before you in any of a range of settings, providing them with a chance to learn the truth. But you have to carry it out, and it doesn't work if you're not out there doing things.” (“Teaching the Fa at the Fa Conference at the U.S. Capital”)
Master also said:
“Cultivation practice should focus with openness and dignity on a broad perspective.” (Lecture Four, Zhuan Falun)
My understanding is that Dafa practitioners are gods' messengers and Master's followers. Saving people is actually done by Master, and we are just assisting Master in the Fa-rectification period. If we fail to persuade some people, Master will then arrange other opportunities for them. As cultivators, we should be strict with ourselves, and do our best to clarify the truth. However, we shouldn't understand the Fa from only one perspective and go to the other extreme.
