Question: What is the relationship between the corporeal way and the spiritual path?
Answer: I don’t know what the corporeal way and the spiritual way are. They should be unified by the goal I adhere to; I go by that.
The spiritual goal is the revelation of the one upper force that manages our reality, which you can call the Creator [1] or God. It makes no difference. Best of all is to call it nature [2].
If a person chooses the upper force, then he dismisses all but what is actually necessary for his physical existence because, after all, he is still in a corporeal body. It needs to exist under special conditions: a person needs food, a home, different services, medical care, etc. To have all that, a person must work.
It turns out that in addition to the work required to serve one’s mortal body, a person needs nothing but aspiration to reveal the upper force in order to serve his soul [3].
Thus, the thousands of unnecessary, empty actions, hobbies, and occupations disappear from a person’s life. I feel free! I have time for everything.
For example, I engage in preparing for the lesson, I read, and I participate in different TV programs. In addition to the morning lessons, I also give lectures and write articles that are published in various newspapers. I have time for everything.
