(Minghui.org) Some time ago I realized my cultivation state was not good. When I studied the Fa, I could not take it into my heart. When sending righteous, thoughts, I could not concentrate. My physical condition was not good, and neither was the quality of my truth clarification.

I then realized that, in a corner of my heart, there was still an attachment to certain “achievements” I had made in the past, and, occasionally, I even felt intoxicated by them.

From Fa principles, I understood that everything in a Dafa disciple's future will come from Dafa. I knew that I should let go of the past. When I was clear about my choice, I immediately felt a change—the hidden, dark corner of my heart became bright, my body felt light, and my thoughts were pure.

Perhaps due to innate factors or opportunities prior to obtaining the Fa, we might have accomplished certain things or achieved some success in society. However, as cultivators, we should not be attached to them, and we cannot take anything from the human world with us.

Master has told us that a lot of things in the human world were actually brought here by gods from different celestial systems in order to assimilate them to the Fa. As cultivators, improvement in cultivation and reaching consummation is our top priority. As for other things, Dafa will assess and deal with them all.

I now attach little importance to the “achievements” of which I was once so proud; they are just a part of my memory. Since we still live and work in society, we may still need to engage in or use ordinary knowledge and skill. The only difference is that we view them with a calmly instead of being obsessed about them.

After letting go of attachments, wisdom arises. After connecting with my true self, during Fa study I can now take the Fa into my heart, and my cultivation state is good.

Had I still defined myself by past accomplishments, then that part of me would remain in a human state and would prevent me from completely assimilating to Dafa.
