(Minghui.org) I recently suffered from a bout of sickness karma in the form of a severe cold. I usually experience similar symptoms at the start of each winter season. Since it only takes a few days for me to recover, I never pay it any mind.
This time, however, was different. My tribulation lasted a lot longer and there was a painful lump on the right side of my face. I had a fever for three days, couldn't sleep well, and my body was cold to the touch. I continued the exercises and studying the Fa every day, but I did them with the attachment of pursuit and my symptoms did not improve.
I knew that it would be hard to pass this tribulation if I didn't align myself with the Fa, so I spent a lot of time looking within and reading experience-sharing articles, which really inspired me.
Master taught us,
“The real evolving-process takes place in other dimensions, and it’s extremely complex and wondrous, so it won’t work even if it’s just the slightest bit off. It’s like putting the wrong part into a precision instrument by mistake—it breaks down instantly.” (Zhuan Falun)
I thought, “Master is taking care of my body in other dimensions and the evolving-process is both wondrous and complex. So, how's it possible that other factors can interfere with me in this physical realm? Master is overseeing everything, thus nothing can go wrong!”
Then, why do our flesh bodies experience problems? It's due to our own karmic debts, which we have to repay. However, if we meet the standard of a Dafa practitioner, our bodies in other dimensions will naturally evolve to their highest state, even though we might not feel well.
Since the timing of our karmic tribulations has been arranged by Master, they should pass very quickly. If we can forebear through these challenges, our karma will transform into virtue and our xingxing will improve.
However, some practitioners go to the hospital or resort to taking medicine when they don't feel well. This shows that they don't believe that Master is taking care of their bodies in other dimensions. Aren't they meddling with the things that Master is trying to do?
Master taught us,
“It’s like putting the wrong part into a precision instrument by mistake—it breaks down instantly.” (Zhuan Falun).
Unlike ordinary people, the physical maladies that practitioners experience all involve extremely complex factors. Modern medical means cannot touch a practitioner's karma in other dimensions. Thus, we should not do anything to get in the way of Master adjusting our bodies. If we do, we could suffer grave consequences.
Although I didn't feel well, I still tended to my household chores, knowing that I had nothing to worry about. When I did the first exercise, I still had fever. I sweat profusely when I did the second one. I fully recovered and my fever had disappeared by the time I had finished.
This experience taught me a valuable lesson. Not only should we let go of the thought of our so-called “illness,” but we should also see it as a test of whether we fundamentally believe or whether we can fundamentally enlighten.
If we can maintain righteous thoughts, we'll be able to overcome any tribulation!
