 I
don't need you to do the work. I just want you to understand yourself in order
to rectify yourself and become more humble. When we are willing to rectify
ourselves, we can help others more readily, then without trying earnestly
to help, we will spontaneously help others.

When
we think of someone, his/her karma or destiny will more or less affect us.
So, when we think of a spiritual practitioner, he/she will surely bless us.
In the beginning, that's the real meaning of initiation. When we think of
a spiritual practitioner, his/her boundless treasure will transfer to us,
that's for sure. Therefore, the less we think of the mundane world the less
karma we will gain; the more we think of our Master, the more blessing we
will be bestowed; the more we think of Master, the more we will become alike.

In
this world if we don't practice spirituality, whatever we do is wrong. We
must practice very diligently, then we know how to handle everything well.
We have to be considerate of other's feelings as well. Sometimes we just act
according to our own thinking regardless of how our husband, wife or others
feel. That is why we fail, but we don't know the reason and blame others.

"To
be great" means that you do everything clearly. Changing other people's original
ideas here and there does not mean that you are great; nor does disobeying
someone means that you are great! Disobedience is too easy, obedience is not
easy. What makes you great is that you are humble. The greatest people are
always very humble; the greater one is, the more humble.
Many
people pursue spiritual practice, but very few attain the Truth. Or, they
have attained half, one-third, two-thirds, but not the whole. It is all because
they cannot control their mundane ideas and habits. The biggest obstacle for
our practitioner is our own mundane habits and ego. Everyone wants to be the
boss and thinks that we ourselves are right, and don't listen to anyone else.
