111 A Change in Disposition Is Inseparable From Real Life
In believing in God, if man desires to have change, then he must not detach himself from the real life that he is in.
I
If focused on theories and religious ceremony, without entering the real life, you won't enter reality, you'll never know yourself, nor will you know the truth or God, you will always be ignorant, you will always be blind. In real life, know yourself, forsake yourself and practice truth, learn rules and common sense of self-conduct in everything, so then you can achieve gradual transformation, gradual transformation.
II
Those who disobey God cannot enter into real life. Humanity they all speak of, but demons they are like. They all speak of the truth, but then live out doctrines instead. Those who can't live truth in real life are rejected by God. In real life, know yourself, forsake yourself and practice truth, learn rules and common sense of self-conduct in everything, so then you can achieve gradual transformation, gradual transformation.
III
Practice your own entry, know your shortcomings and disobedience, know your abnormal humanity, know your weakness and ignorance. That way your knowledge is combined with your true state. Only this knowledge is real, allows you to grasp your condition and achieve transformation. In real life, know yourself, forsake yourself and practice truth, learn rules and common sense of self-conduct in everything, so then you can achieve gradual transformation, gradual transformation.
