Why sustain practice alongside daily life rather than seek quick mastery?

Cultivation needs continued training. Practicing once after a long gap does not guarantee the same performance when needed. I compare it with athletes: regular training at sufficient intensity helps maintain condition, while a long period without it may lead to poor performance at competition.

Sheng Zhen Men’s discussion of energy also values continued practice and use. Remembering a former experience is not enough; ask whether you have put it into practice afterward. This explains a direction, not a guarantee of anyone’s ability. Perceptions and practice depend on different conditions, so return to training within your own capacity rather than only compare others’ performance.

I too wondered whether things could happen faster and take less time. Learning gradually taught me that some abilities require personally walking through and practicing the steps. The claim of attainment in seven times seven, forty-nine days, was explicitly identified as a joke during the program. It cannot become a timetable promising spiritual powers after a specified retreat.
