For a long period of time the sentient beings in Dafa, especially the disciples, have had a misunderstanding of the Fa at various levels regarding xinxing improvement. Whenever a tribulation comes, you do not see it with the side of your original nature but view it completely from your human side. Evil demons then take advantage of this point and inflict endless interference and damage, leaving practitioners in long-term tribulations. As a matter of fact, this results from an inadequate understanding of the Fa by your human side. You have humanly restrained your divine side; in other words, you have restrained the parts that have been successfully cultivated and prevented them from rectifying the Fa. How can the uncultivated side restrain your primary thoughts or the side that has already obtained the Fa? Having humanly fostered the evil demons, you allow them to exploit the Fa. When a tribulation arrives, if you, as a disciple, can truly maintain an unshakable calm, or set your mind to meeting different requirements at different levels, this should be sufficient for you to pass the test. If it continues endlessly and if there do not exist other problems in your xinxing or conduct, it must be that the evil demons are exploiting the loopholes caused by your lack of control. After all, a cultivator is not an ordinary person. So why doesn’t the side of you that is your original nature rectify the Fa?
There are two reasons why Master did not teach this Fa until today: one is that your problem in this regard has become prominent; the other is that you have gained a very deep understanding of the Fa and will not understand it in a simple way.
You should also be clear that "natural" does not exist, and there is a reason for "inevitability." In fact, "natural" is irresponsibly used by everyday people for self-justification when they are unable to explain the phenomena of the universe, life, and matter. They cannot imagine what "nature" itself is. Under the influence of such a notion you think that all these tribulations are inevitable and this is just the way it is, thereby developing a passive and pessimistic attitude. Therefore, your human side must understand it. More importantly, your side that has obtained the Fa must be clear about it.
Be aware: I am not asking you to do something artificially. I am only trying to make you understand the principles of the Fa so that you will have a clear understanding in this respect. In fact, Dafa is not only to save human beings—it is also taught to all the beings in different dimensions. Your enlightened, original nature will automatically know what to do. Cherishing your human side enables you to ascend in your understanding of the Fa. Dafa is harmonizing all sentient beings, and all sentient beings are also harmonizing Dafa. I have told you the solemnity and sacredness of the Fa in order to eliminate your confusion and misunderstanding of the Fa.
