If you think the more you cultivate, the more you are right, the more you know, the more you gain, then you failed to understand. You don't quite you don't quite understand cultivation yet. Okay? Cultivation in order for you to get a lot higher, you need to have shame and remorse. The shame here is strength because you dare put yourself out there for people to beat up on you. Instead of blaming people, instead of blaming others, you put yourself out there for others to blame you, to criticize you and beat up on you. That takes a lot of strength. And actually in doing that you become stronger and stronger and stronger. This is professional secret. You all are trying to prove you're right. You prove that you have superior knowledge and you're better. Actually the people who have wisdom prefer shame over fame. And remorse means that because it bothered you so much inside. Okay. outside you invite people to criticize you. Okay? And it makes you stronger and stronger. Look at yourself. You don't dare do it because as soon you criticized, you get afflicted. You run away. You, how shall we say it? Justify yourself. Don't you? Anyone doesn't justify when you criticized and you are slandered. If you dare have shame, it makes you stronger. Those people who slander you, who criticize you, who intentionally try to hurt you, actually making you stronger. Remorse is that it really bothers you what you did. You realize it's so wrong. You look at it. The more you look at it, the more you disapprove of yourself. It's not about others disapproving of you. It's about you disliking yourself. It's you disapproving yourself. Why is it good for you? Because it helps you develop wisdom. Only you really know the extent of how evil you really are and you excel at hiding it, at disguising it. This is Buddhist secrets, folks. That Buddhist saba right there who has boundless shame and remorse. You know what it means to have boundless shame and remorse? Because when you have remorse, you will find a way to fix that problem so that you will never commit that evil karma again. And when you have boundless shame or remorse, what does it mean? It means that once you fix this problem, you move on to the next. You say, "Wow, this is so bad." And you're so remorseful. They gnaws at you at night. It gnaws at you 24/7 that you will find a way to fix it. And then you go on to the next one and the next one and the next one. That's what is meant by boundless shame and remorse. You know fascinating that's what his Maya sava is teaching us look inside don't look outside and that's will make you happier you look outside and blame others it only makes you unhappy to
