Instantaneous Enlightenment - Awakening to the Fa

I was completely clear-headed yesterday. However, I was trapped in attachments again today simply because I did not study the Fa [referring to the teachings of Falun Gong] with a calm mind for merely one day.

I used to think studying the Fa is similar to storing apples for the winter, I can study it more in a day, and skip it for several days. Now it becomes more and more obvious that studying the Fa is equivalent to dining, you can't skip a single meal. Cultivation for improvement needs the Fa just like a growing child needs food. An increase in nutrition is necessary to enable daily growth. It is hard to tell whether Fa is studied in one or two days. However, the difference will become significant after ten days or half a month.
Dafa practitioners are trying to make a path towards godhead in the human world. It is like walking on a tight rope. A slight deviation from clear-headedness will result in the falling of the practitioner into the human world.

It seems that striving forward vigorously and over-reacting are both to facilitate the Fa. The only difference is: one is within the Fa, while the other is based on human attachments. Striving forward vigorously makes a practitioner wise and peaceful. Human passion can only lead to extreme chaos.

Conforming to the ordinary human status is merely one step away from the attachments in the loss and gain of the ordinary people. The difference is the basic point, which can be easily distinguished when one's interests are impacted. The former will be aloof and indifferent; the latter will be flying into a rage.

The insipid life is abundant in choices in between being a human or taking the path of Godhood. When the false masks can be discerned and seen through, and you can clear-headedly evade the temptations at all times, you will break through from the human shell, and make another step closer to a god. On the contrary, if you are continuously entangled by sentiment, and are heavily affected by temptations such that your mind is unstable, this day will be lived as a human, which is turbid and shows no improvement.

Being soaked in sentiment will make ourselves attracted to the surrounding temptations and misled by the human attachments all the time. The most abominable is cover-up. It always casts a dignity-bearing reason when we are searching for attachments. If Fa-study is not profound, the result is equivalent to pushing the boat along with the current.

This is the way I comprehend the importance of constant Fa-study. Fa creates gods at various levels. Deviating from the Fa is being human; being melted into the Fa is god like.

This is my personal understanding. I share it with fellow practitioners for further discussion.
