Denying the Old Forces' Arrangements Does Not Mean Denying Our Own Attachments


(Clearwisdom.net) When we encounter conflicts during cultivation we must search inward for our own problems in order to continually improve. Every tribulation or test, praise or criticism, loss or gain are all arranged for our improvement. They are not coincidental. If Dafa cultivators can act with righteous thoughts at all times, with no human attachments, then the evil will not dare to bother us because it can not find any excuse. Our thoughts and deeds are then concentrated on the Fa, so if it bothers us then, it is directly damaging the Fa-rectification, and Master's Fashen and many righteous gods won't allow it.

Recently some practitioners encountered huge tribulations including persecution, illness, interference from demons of desire, etc. When this happened, they did not look inward, but instead attributed it to interference. They relied on sending forth righteous thoughts to "completely negate the old force arrangements," but when righteous thoughts did not work as expected, some practitioners became passive and wondered whether something was wrong with them or if Master was not taking care of them.

Why has Teacher extended the end of the evil persecution over and over? The reason is because our merciful Teacher is actually trying to give us disciples and human beings a chance, a chance that allows Dafa disciples who took detours or did not do well to have another chance to do well and to have the opportunity to save more sentient beings. If your understanding of the Fa is unclear, what use are your righteous thoughts of believing in Teacher and the Fa? Why has Teacher let disciples use their divine powers and send forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the evil? Our cultivated sides are already great divine beings. If cultivators don't look within, their thoughts are not righteous, so how can all the evils and demons be disintegrated and eliminated by their righteous thoughts? If the thought is not righteous then the supernormal abilities will not bring any results when sending forth righteous thoughts. When practitioners saw that their righteous thoughts didn't bring any results, they became passive and dropped in level. Isn't this in accordance to the arrangement of the old forces?

The current tribulations must be the interference of the evil spirits of Communism and rotten demons, so it is certainly necessary to send forth righteous thoughts. However, the evil spirits and rotten demons have taken advantage of your attachments or human notions. If you find your attachments and get rid them of, then send forth righteous thoughts and see what happens. Even before you send righteous thoughts the evil will be frightened away. If you can't find your attachments, you should intensify Fa study and look inward while sending forth righteous thoughts. Once you find the attachment, immediately let go of it, and then the effect of righteous thoughts will naturally become better. That's because you are cultivating instead of seeking.

Only by really studying the Fa well, cultivating inward and diligently, truly stepping out of human notions and attachments, and doing the three things that Dafa disciples should do well can we really negate the old forces' arrangements.

Some people said that the old forces were not qualified to test Dafa disciples. However, the old forces are still doing such stupid things, which is the manifestation of their corrupt xinxing that is against Dafa. As Dafa disciples, we should know what we are supposed to do. Cultivating ourselves well, purifying ourselves, and assimilating to the Fa are requirements for us to return home. Clarifying the truth and saving sentient beings is the magnificent mission that history has bestowed upon us. Never hold onto a human attachment without letting it go, otherwise you will miss out on the precious opportunity that only comes once in tens of thousands of years and will never come again.
