(Clearwisdom.net) Yesterday, for the whole day, I wrote and revised an article for the Sixth Internet Experience Sharing Conference for Practitioners in China. At a little past 8:00 p.m., a fellow practitioner came and asked me to print some materials for him. After I was finished, we chatted a while. When I went back to use the computer, I saw that the monitor screen was black. It did not work no matter how I moved the mouse. My thought was that my computer was a Fa tool and should not malfunction. Perhaps it was too tired that day, so I let it have a rest. I felt a little regret because I had not finished my article and could not send it out that day.
Today, at a little after 9:00 a.m., another practitioner came and asked me to make several truth-clarification DVDs for him. After I turned the computer on, it stopped halfway during the start-up. I tried several times to reboot it, but it still did not work. I told the practitioner what I had encountered the evening before. The practitioner said, "This is just a superficial thing. Let's send righteous thoughts for half an hour to eliminate the interference from any evil factors." I turned off the computer and we sent righteous thoughts for 30 minutes. After I turned on the computer again, it paused shortly at the place where it previously stopped and then started to work normally.
Why did my computer do that? I started to look inside myself. I enlightened to two things: One was that, because I wanted to write an article for the Fa conference, the evil factors made trouble for me. Another is that my attachment to comfort has become worse recently. For example, when I slack off, I go onto the Internet to watch videos. By watching the videos, I am easily moved by ordinary people's sentimentality. As a result, my mind is not pure and clean when I study the Fa and practice the exercises.
During this very serious Fa rectification cultivation period, in which every second is precious, the requirement for every Fa-rectification period Dafa disciple is very high. Once one's main consciousness slacks-off, the evil factors will exploit the loophole and cause interference. Master has already clearly told us, through his teachings on the Fa, that we decide what we want. I caution myself that I must be clear on the Fa principles, have a strong main consciousness, and follow Master's words about "always cultivating as if you were just starting will surely result in achieving your ultimate rank."
