1073 Pursuing the Truth Requires Resolution

I

For people, who live amid corrupt dispositions,

practicing each truth is very hard,

there are many impediments and difficulties to it,

and the expenditure of painstaking effort

is required to practice and achieve it,

and one can’t avoid experiencing some failures and setbacks along the way—

but what God would tell you is this: Do not lose heart, and do not give up,

because only the path of pursuing the truth

will truly enable you to elude your catastrophe.

Smart people will choose to set all their difficulties aside;

they will not avoid failures and setbacks,

and they will press on, no matter how hard it is,

they will press on, no matter how hard it is.

So long as you have the will to do so,

you should persist in your pursuit of seeking the truth in all things,

and pray more to God, pray more to God—

doing so is often fruitful.


II

Pursue as well as you can, based on your caliber and circumstances,

and work hard to achieve what you can.

So long as you’re doing all that you can, your conscience will be clear,

and you will definitely be able to make greater gains.

Even understanding one more truth is a good thing—

your life will become a little happier and a little more joyful for it.

The pursuit of the truth is no hollow thing;

there’s a specific path of practice for each of its steps,

and it requires people to suffer some pain and pay a certain price.

No matter what price you pay or what efforts you make,

as long as your approach, method, path, and direction are correct,

then sooner or later, the day will come

when you will reap a great bounty, gain the truth,

reap a great bounty, gain the truth,

and be able to know God and submit to Him—

and with that, you will be perfectly contented.
