The Attachment to Spring

(Clearwisdom.net) Many times have I hesitated in how to write this. Yet the most straightforward approach is the only way I feel confident that I will say what I mean.

Many times has Master warned us about the attachment to "spring" in his teachings. Yet I have read interpretations of prophesies that mentioned spring and was influenced by Master's urging that time is now pressing and soon, the attachment of "spring" marking the end of this, formed in my mind. Although I have a metaphorical understanding of what is meant by spring, my human mind insisted on trying to rationalize it in human terms.

This even went to the extent that I wondered whether I needed to chop wood for our southern hemisphere winter, whether I needed to worry about the contract on my car, how to deal well with business issues with my wife and other human attachments.

I have slowly realized that this is also a warped notion that I must remove. No matter when this ends, the evil will continue to be evil and thus remains as a target of our efforts to send forth righteous thoughts and clarify the truth. My mind cannot even begin to imagine the extent and enormity of the process of Fa-rectification, so I must simply try my best to do well the three things we must do and to suppress how my human mind interprets things.

Things can only be interpreted from and through the Fa. No matter when this ends, every day that it has not ended is an opportunity to save sentient beings, to clarify the truth, to deepen ones understanding of the Fa, and in my case, to look inward.

Please point out any incorrect understandings. I hope that other practitioners in my situation will also become clearer.
