At the same time that you receive the work of the Holy Spirit, you ought to place even more importance on your entry, seeing exactly what is the Holy Spirit’s work and what is your entry, as well as incorporating the work of the Holy Spirit into your entry, so that you may receive the Holy Spirit’s perfection more and so that the essence of the Holy Spirit’s work may be wrought in you. In the course of your experience of the Holy Spirit’s work, you’ll come to know the Holy Spirit, as well as yourselves, and moreover, in the midst of who knows how many bouts of intense suffering, you will develop a normal relationship with God, and the relationship between you and God will grow closer by the day. After countless instances of pruning and refinement, you’ll develop a true love for God.

That is why you must realize that suffering, smiting, and tribulations are not to be feared; what’s frightening is having only the Holy Spirit’s work but not your entry. When the day comes that God’s work is finished, you will have worked for nothing; even though you experienced God’s work, you won’t have come to know the Holy Spirit or have had your own entry. The enlightenment that the Holy Spirit works in man is not to sustain the passion of man, but to open a path for the entry of man, as well as to allow man to come to know the Holy Spirit, and from this point develop a heart of fear and adoration for God.
