Spiritual cultivation is a continuous process that never ends.
0:11
It is in the nature of the human soul
0:15
to fluctuate between obedience and disobedience,
0:18
and between guidance and misguidance.
0:21
Therefore, it requires constant follow-up and attention.
0:25
It is not enough to place it within a mold of guidance and obedience just once,
0:30
under the assumption that it will remain disciplined forever thereafter.
0:34
Rather, it is constantly overstepping the boundaries of that established mold.
0:38
At times it falters, and at others it strays.
0:41
Thus, there must be guidance each time to recalibrate it.
0:46
Through this, the difficulty and gravity of the process of cultivation become clear,
0:51
as does its perpetual necessity.
0:54
It is either this persistent, tireless effort,
0:57
or else it is loss.
