【or, while you lack this training, cause you to deviate from your great purpose of developing that spirit. Therefore, pay close attention to this point.】
This attitude will cause you to deviate from great benefit, so you must meditate earnestly. The practice now is to develop an uncontrived understanding. Pay attention! To develop uncontrived understanding does not mean to achieve it right away. Once you have an uncontrived understanding, your mind will not fluctuate. Otherwise, we will, “Think about this monastery ... then go to another monastery and it seems pretty good, come here and think that the other monastery is good; so our running around and fluttering about amount to nothing.” Just drift like this, many lifetimes and many eons pass by. This is a very great loss, a major loss! However, this is not saying that everything is totally in vain–one can still plantsome virtuous roots! One will plant virtuous roots here and there, once enough have beenplanted, all of a sudden, a sprout will develop adventitiously. That is when arhatship isachieved. After that,[we will not be in a hurry to achieve Buddhahood because our own liberation is achieved] again advancing gradually, this is an absolute fact. Hence, the opportunity to take the direct route is less possible; this is what we need to understand

【或于此间失大利义，故于此事应殷重修。】
对这件事情是失去了绝大的利益，所以要殷重地修。现在的修就是发决定解。注意哦！发决定解，不是马上做到它，你有了决定解了，你心里面会绝不动摇。否则的话我们说：想想这个地方啊……。跑到那里又看那里好，跑到这里，看那里好，所以我们跑来跑去，飘来飘去，一无是处。就这样地一飘，多生多劫地就这样飘过去了，这个是一个很大的损失，很大的损失！但是这个不是说完全空，还是种点善根哦！东啊种点善根，西啊种点善根，什么时候种多了以后，突然之间，有一次碰巧一个巧，发一个芽，那个时候就证一个罗汉果。然后证完了以后，慢慢地再走上来，这是千真万确的事实，走那条直路的机会就比较少，这是我们要了解的。
