(Clearwisdom.net) The three things that Teacher wants us to do (send forth righteous thoughts, study the Fa and clarify the truth) all compliment each other. If one of the three is not done correctly, it will affect the other two. Even worse, the old forces can take advantage of any gaps to further the persecution and damage Dafa.

Some practitioners felt that they were doing a good job at cultivation and had firm righteous thoughts, and they wouldn't listen to others' opinions. While we were doing Fa-rectification projects, other practitioners pointed out areas in which we needed to be careful, such as additional security measures for our computers. One particular practitioner replied, "If you let go of your attachment then everything will be ok." He refused to listen, using "letting go of your attachment" as his excuse, and neglected the necessary security measures. This problem is very common, so I want to talk about my experience.

In my experience, if you really let go of your attachment, of course everything will be ok. But the things that we are attached to are like mountains and, even if you say you "let go of your attachment," is it really so? Cultivation is a process. Teacher said in "Teaching the Fa at the 2004 Chicago Conference,"

So you can say you let go of your attachment, but are you really at that level? If you are not at that level, you won't have the necessary security measures, and the old forces can take advantage of the gap and persecute Dafa and practitioners. Therefore, necessary security measures are still required.

If something indeed happens it is not just one individual's loss, it is Dafa's loss. We have to be responsible for Dafa.
