【A summary of the meaning of the previous five parts 】- Whereas if you understood it yet cannot apply it

What is the remedy? To “reflect on them repeatedly.” First, if this understanding is lacking, there is no doubt that nothing can be done. Whereas if you understood it yet can’t apply it, that is due to your inability to practice and uphold it properly.   

Thus, here, the practice means reflecting, repeatedly contemplating. Reflect on your practice, what kind of laudable benefits will it have? What kind of disadvantages will come from not practicing? Well, with these, you will think: alas, just strive for it! Then for the next step, you will feel, how can it be done? And you engage in it, later ... after knowing how then you can accomplish it! So what we have said before: we know it yet can’t put it into practice. Actually, we have not accurately understood it according to the teachings. At the present time, we often say, ah! You don’t need erroneous discretion so just don’t make differentiations! It seems like a simple statement to say, will the fulfillment be achieved in the end? Very sorry! If [the knowledge] were given to 100 people, there would be 100 of them who fail. This is a true statement.

摄彼等义 : 了解了为什么做不到？II

对治它的方法呢？[数数思惟]。第一个，不懂，固然一点办法都没有；懂了以后做不到的原因，就是你没有如法的修持。所以这个地方，现在的修持是指思惟、多去思惟。思惟说，你做的有什么殊胜的好处？不做有怎么严重的害处？欸，有了这个，你会心里想：哎努力去做了！那么进一步，你就觉得如何做法？然后你这样去做，那就——知道了、你也做得到！所以我们前面说得明明知道了偏偏做不到，实际上，没有正确的如法的知道。现在我们动不动说，啊！你就不要妄分别，你不要分别就行了嘛！好像这一句话说起来好简单，结果真的做到了吗？对不起！一百个人，是一百个人做不到，说实在话。
