A Few Words About Changing the Way We Think

(Clearwisdom.net)

Usually we think from the "me" perspective, on an I-would-like-to-do-this-or-that basis.

Unconsciously, our priority becomes our own understanding, cultivation state and feelings. By following this pattern of thinking, we then mistakenly consider what we have done, based on our own wishes, as done according to the Dafa standard and requirement.

In other words, this kind of thought pattern, albeit with good intention, would make us try to get what we want from the "me" perspective. Therefore, we are unaware of the effect our personal attachments and desires have when done in such a pattern of thinking.

Consequently, when we do Dafa work together, every person (particle) of us (the whole) is doing it from the "me" perspective, albeit with a common goal, but unable to realize that the relationship between "ourselves" and the "whole body" is harmonized on the basis of Dafa and the "whole body" as the first priority.

As a result, it is very hard to form an indestructible and harmonious whole and we can be easily taken advantage of by the evil.

In order to change from the "me" based pattern of thinking, we should always consider Dafa as the first priority. We should always think from the perspective of the whole, thinking of others first, including being responsible for ourselves, which could be beneficial to others also.

It is not that I want to do well what I want, but rather, that we should do well what we should do according to the Dafa requirement.
