【THE THREE TYPES OF PERSONS】- Why lack this propelling force?

For this point, most of us sitting here have this experience. Sure, the teaching is great; even though it is great you just cannot uphold it, why? There is no mental momentum, and one is constantly feeling that certain thing is necessary, and something else can’t be done away with, this will not do, and that can’t be missed out either! Actually, it is primarily because they do not recognize the importance of a human life of leisure and opportunity. For beginning members, perhaps their awareness of leisure and opportunity is stronger but, after a while, all these flaws will appear. This is because the practitioner did not get the accurate systematic order right from the start. Even if one has heard the great teachings – we don't need to talk about the great teachings, certainly the teaching is grand, but one just cannot find the doorway. We don’t need to further discuss it! Just like talking about satellites, oh, it is incredibly wonderful, but how do we get up there? We have no clue. Anyway, it is up in the sky and I am here on Earth, I can praise and admire it, that is all! We will not elaborate on this. Even if we are able to grasp what is available to us, usually we cannot put it into practice, and it is because we lack this propelling force [knowing the value of the leisure and opportunity of the human form].

道次引导 : 为何没有推动力？

这一点，我们在座很多人都有这个经验，是的，说这个法很好，好是好，叫你提就是提不起来，为什么？他就没有这种推动的心力，总觉得这个也少不了啊，那个也少不了啊，这个也不行啊，那个也不行啊！他主要的是没有认识这个暇满人身的重要。刚开始的同修们，也许还心情比较猛利一点，过了一些时候，这种毛病都会来了。他根本原因就是一开头的时候，前面这个次第就没弄对，尽管听见了高高的大法—不要说这个高高的大法，有很多大法，法是大的，不得其门而入，这种也不必谈啦！像我们谈人造卫星，哦，这个是美不可言，怎么上去啊？不知道，反正它在天上我在地上，羡慕、羡慕算了！这种我们不谈。就算是我们能够把握得住眼前的东西，我们往往都是不能修，原因就是缺少这种推动的力量。
