analysis

As the saying goes, a hundred feet, further. Even if we are already deep in Taoism and attainments, we still need to cultivate and improve. If the cultivation of Taoism reaches the top of a hundred feet and does not advance any more, then, although it is excellent, it is not pure; even if it reaches the top of a hundred feet, it still can't relax, absolutely can't be complacent, and absolutely can't stop. Only by continuing to work hard and carefully, can we make greater progress. When we study, we can't be satisfied even if we have made a little achievement, so we are complacent. We need to know that the ocean of knowledge is endless. Only by persevering in our study can we get closer to the other side of the truth.
