Question: When you are sick, you continue to give lessons for three hours. How do you do it? When I have a fever, I stay home and don’t go to the lesson.
Answer: And do you go to work?
Comment: When I have a high fever, I can’t move.
Answer: And in the case that you would be fired from work and your family [1] would be left without any means of subsistence? You see this is the question: how could you stay home?
I am asking the same question. Because I work and receive a salary, but it is spiritual. I am being paid with the opportunity to bestow [2] and so I get up for the lesson. After all, man simply calculates what is more important to him and acts accordingly.
