Accept what ever one self can't accept, in order to be accepted by the Whole.
(納之於不能受之事,眾能納汝之)

This is another phrase that being passed down by my Ancestors.

After hearing this sentence, a lot of the people start to scratch their head and a lot of question marks appeared in front of them. It may sounds a bit profound, but actually, it’s just part of a mortal’s life. Only for those who can really understand and practice it, then one self can attain another level of cultivation.

Since the first day when mortals are being created in this Universe, no one mortal can accept things, events, issues or cases that he/she doesn't want to accept. This is one of the causes of mortals' emotional sense – known as hatred or selfishness.

In order for one self to achieve in his/her cultivation to become a successful Spiritual Person, one self will need to overcome such emotional sense in order to accept what ever one self cant accept.

When one self opened up him/herself to accept what ever that he/she can't accept in the past, and now he/she can willingly to accept, one self has achieve in the so-called Wisdom-opening cultivation.

It is always easy to say but never easy to do.

Over different eras, decades, etc, not much cultivated people can achieve that fully, and of cos, this refers to the modern day cultivated people too. In today's cultivation World, I can say only a very small number of such cultivated people achieve in this Acceptance-practice.

So how to accept what ever one self can't accept?

First, by practicing self-realizing. By doing self realizing, one self needed to study on the issues closely. Look into the details of why one self can't accept, find the root of the not-accepting-pushing-force, once the root is being realized, try to disconnect it with one self’s cultivation will or seeking another high one self to assist in the disconnecting.

For example, due to insulting, one self cannot accept the other self. If one self can study deeper into the case, he/she will know why such insults happened, whether it’s because one self ever insulted the other party before or the things that one self said had hurt the other party, etc.

If either of the cases happened, try to make apologize to the other party for forgiving and if the other party will to accept one self's apologize, then one self will be accepted and the things that one self involved will be accepted by all people around one self and the other party’s surrounding people, etc.

While doing self realizing for such cases, one self must always stay calm and always stay alert with an open-mind, cos only by having that, one self can have a clearer mind to study on the issues, etc.

Second, be Humble. This may sounds a bit out of topic, but this is one of the few important factors that affect one self to be accepted by the other selves.

To be Humble as in the sense of willingly to take in any comments, complains or even reprimands.

By willingly and openly accepting such actions, one self will realize the mistakes that one self had made. From there, if one self will to make changes accordingly, he/she will be able to accept what ever the other selves can't accept on and to achieve in the cultivation of accepting what ever can’t be accepted.

Third, be Tough. Tough as in withholding the determination in believing that one self accept what ever can't be accepted and one self will be accepted by the Whole.

This Tough, some times can be really tough, cos not much selves can really have that good determination in withholding his/her believe till the last moment.

Usually during such "withholdings", one self will encounter with a lot of external pushing-factors (can be positive or negative) that cause one self of losing the determination and end up, choose to give up.

Once such thoughts are being created in one self's mind, then he/she will not be able to concentrate. In order to concentrate, one self must strongly believed that, by really holding on to what one self's believe, he/she will be able to enjoy the "result of being accepted" in a short period.

Accepting the un-acceptable issues can make one self more mature in order to proceed to another level of cultivation.

By accepting the un-acceptable issues, can also make one self succeed in whatever he/she never succeed before.

In conclusion, always try one's best to accept whatever that he/she thinks that cannot be accepted. If one self never try to accept the things that he/she thinks that it's difficult to accept, one self will never know that what is accepting.
