How Can We Not Lose Hope?

294.4Question: There were four candles burning in a room. The first one said: “I am Peace. People don’t know how to preserve me.” And it went out. The second one said: “I am Faith. I am not needed by anyone.” And it went out. The third one said: “I am Love. People do not appreciate me.” And it also went out.

A little child entered the room, frightened by the darkness, and started crying. Then the fourth candle said: “Do not cry. I am Hope. As long as I burn, it is always possible to light all the other candles.”

Can we say that as long as a person hopes, he is alive? Is there a basis for this phrase?

My Response: Yes, because hope still shows you the path to development.

Question: So is there something else?

Answer: Of course! People cross oceans on sailboats to find some land, to discover something. That is hope.

Question: This has always amazed me. Amundsen and all those explorers who reached the poles and froze there, crossed oceans in small boats. What drove them?

Answer: The dream!

Question: How can one not lose hope when everything has already burned out, all the candles have burned: love, faith, and peace—everything?

Answer: By understanding that everything is in the hands of the Creator. Because a person realizes that nothing is in his hands. And then he calmly lives out his years.

Question: Do you call this candle hope? So everything is in the hands of the Creator; is that the next step?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Why does the Creator always leave us this little step, this last candle?

Answer: To catch us at the last minute, second, and moment to continue our journey with us.
This candle is the candle of connection between a person in this world and a person in the higher world.

Question: Does this candle always burn?

Answer: It accompanies the person further.

Question: Are there any states when this candle does not burn, when there is no hope?

Answer: No. It always burns.

Question: Does this mean that the Creator is kind and does good?

Answer: Yes, otherwise, such a person would not have been born. Because the Creator knows in advance the entire life of that person, until the end.

Question: Why do we sometimes not notice this candle and lose hope?

Answer: We are not tuned into our existence in that way.

Question: So what is the right attitude?

Answer: The right attitude is that ahead of us there is always the kindness of the Creator.”

Are We Going to Prolong Life?

204Question: A person complains about his life to God: this is not good, and that is not good, and I have problems at work, trouble with the family, debts, and  poor health. God manifests Himself and says “This is all understandable. But tell me one thing: Are we going to prolong life?”

Should we prolong this life?

Answer: I think if God is asking a person, then the person should answer “Sure, give me more.”

Question: So, it means that for all our complaints this is bad and that is bad, we still should continue?

Answer: If we live, we have to live.

Where Will the River of Life Take Us?

760.1Roman writes:

I regularly watch your shows. They help me live, especially in these difficult times. But sometimes I am puzzled. I watched your video today about the four candles when all the candles go out, and only one remains: hope. And suddenly I hear in your response that one just needs to live through this day. What does it mean to live through? Right now, you know, it is not easy with work, money, life in general, and the age is not the same anymore, and illnesses. So, what lies behind this phrase that you keep repeating: “You just need to live through it”?

Answer: You need to go with the flow of life as if you are in a boat, in a river, and it is carrying you somewhere, not onto rocks, not onto waterfalls, just the current carries you. That is how we should still look at life. And what else can I advise people who live in our time? You just need to keep going.

Question: And at the same time, I know there is the current and there is the boat?

Answer: There is the current, there is the boat, and there is me in the boat. And I have to agree that I am floating with the current. I cannot swim against the current. I cannot get out of this river anywhere. The only thing I can do is accept where the current takes me.

Question: Who is this answer directed to?

Answer: To myself first and foremost. That is how a person should understand.

Question: Are my friends also in this boat?

Answer: If you put it that way, then yes. We are all floating in the boat with the current of life, in the river of life. And it is best to understand that this is how it is. We survived through the day, we survived. Another day, once again. And so on and so forth.

Question: So you are not in favor of making any plans?

Answer: No! Those plans never come to fruition anyway, and we only worry about them.

Question: So, are you concerned that we are heading toward disappointment?

Answer: It depends on what goals we set for ourselves in life.

Question: And still, what goals should we set? I am floating in this boat; do I want to reach somewhere or not?

Answer: If you have such a goal.

Question: If the goal is to reach somewhere, then…?

Answer: Then yes. You should check it: is it worth it? Can you achieve that goal? If you can, then yes. And if not, then slowly row a little closer to it, but still calmly. Do not rush.

Comment: This complicates things a bit.

My Response: Why does it complicate things? Should we be striving?

Comment: We are used to striving for a goal, we are used to pursuing a goal.

My Response: I do not think it is wise in our time. There are periods that carry you, and that is it.

Question: So, in our words: “There is none else beside Him”?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And is that how I should live?

Answer: The Creator still creates new conditions for us, and whether we wish it or not, we will still implement them—what He desires.

Question: What does it mean to surrender to this? On one hand, it means giving up?

Answer: No, agreeing with where the river of life is carrying us does not mean giving up. It means truly perceiving the flow of the river of life and moving along with it, understanding that you cannot go against it. There are no heroes who could go against the current. And yet, we might still wish to change something, but that something can only be very, very small in our lives.

Question: Where is the joy in this? We still want to be joyful.

Answer: Joy is not in creating something like throwing myself into the water and starting to block the river, and so on. Joy is in finding special points of movement in my ordinary, simple life path and trying to move along them.

Question: What do you mean? Special points, are they joyful points? Is that what you are saying?

Answer: They can be joyful or sorrowful; nevertheless, we must go through them. Therefore, we need to accept life more as a flow.

Question: Still to nullify oneself, surrender to it. Like that?

Answer: If you do not nullify yourself, it still does not mean anything.

Question: But what about the fact that we get used to and found joy in it: to swim against the current, for example, to go against nature?

Answer: That is your inner feeling. In reality, no one can go against it anyway.

Question: We repeat with you more than once that a human nature is egoistic. And a person must somehow rise above his nature. Can you relate to this?

Answer: Yes. Rising above one’s nature is precisely realizing that you are still floating with the current of the river. And still, you perhaps might want to get out of it, but you do not even know where or how, and who is waiting for you on the shore if you suddenly emerge from under the water with your boat, and so on. So, I do not know if that is wise.

Question: Do we need to know or at least have a premonition of what awaits us in the end? After all, rivers flow into the sea.

Answer: You have to choose a goal that seems realistic to you and that aligns with your abilities, and try to achieve it somehow. So, we must somehow understand that we are leaving the river of life, getting out of it, and then somehow continuing to sail on.

Question: So, these milestones of stops should be along the way?

Answer: Yes, but frankly, in the end everyone, even if during their life they aspire to become a revolutionary in something and so on, ultimately agrees that this is life and it ends with death, and then, what will be will be.

Comment: It does not sound very optimistic, of course.

My Response: Why doesn’t it sound very optimistic?

Comment: Still, we want to set goals not that necessarily we defeat death, but at least internally, within ourselves, you know.

My Response: On the contrary! When you agree with this, you acquire a special tranquility and a special perception of life, and you perceive it realistically. I am not talking about death. I am talking about really perceiving this flow.

Question: But I will ask again. If those engaged in our science are in this boat, and let’s say it has been many years, should their behavior be the same; what do you think?

Answer: Their behavior should be as they, like any person, strive toward their goal.

Comment: So if the goal is to rise above one’s nature.

My Response: If the goal is to rise above one’s nature, then it is with you in the boat. You should not jump anywhere and swim to the shore, you should not shout: “Hey, who is there on the shore?”—there might be someone. You do not have to call anything to yourself. It all depends on your mood, your attitude toward what you are sailing through. And in the end, you enter into another dimension.

Question: How does this happen? How am I pulled out of my nature? I am just sailing in the boat, with our idea.

Answer: You are not pulled out, you are not going anywhere. Simply, the illusion in which you existed is gradually replaced by another, a third, and so on.

Comment: And I no longer pay attention, like Roman writes here that life is hard, age, illnesses.

My Response: No, no, no. I am no longer interested in that. I am already thinking about how I will calmly live through this and then enter into a new life.

Question: How can you deal with this? With this life which overwhelms, with illnesses, sufferings?

Answer: The best thing is to surrender to it and not resist. Because resistance will not give anything, and we know that. Everything around us goes through such stages and ends similarly. Treat both life and death kindly.

Question: And is this called “also treating the Creator the same way”?

Answer: Yes, agree with Him, with what He has done, with what He has done to us, placed us within certain boundaries, and given us such a vector of development.

Question: When it is said that everyone has their own path, what does it mean? Their own path to the Creator?

Answer: Yes, nothing else. And there is nothing particularly new here except relative to the individual.

Question: So, each person has their own path to the Creator?

Answer: Yes, if a person understands this, then it is called that they have gained wisdom.

How to Find Oneself and not Go Mad?

760.4The main goal of a person is to find himself. Only a few succeed. Everyone else is too lazy or cowardly to follow this path over the abyss. But the one who walked along it receives real life as a reward, and not a drab existence (Erich Maria Remarque).

Question: Why does it take courage to find oneself? And he also says that it is like crossing over an abyss. Why is finding oneself such a drama?

Answer: Because you must constantly build yourself, truly stabilize yourself like a tightrope walker over the abyss.

Question: So you are balancing, then what does “falling into the abyss” mean?

Answer: Disagreeing with the Creator.

Question: So is this whole passage about agreeing with the Creator in everything? Is that the little rope?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Where does it lead?

Answer: To nowhere. Are you looking for a reward now?

Comment: We keep bumping into that all the time.

My Response: No, there is nothing to bump into here. All of this should have been broken a long time ago and thrown into that abyss.

Question: I see. So, I am walking over the abyss to nowhere? And this is called “finding oneself”?

Answer: Yes. Finding oneself means to truly reveal one’s nature in full and smile at it.

Question: Is this called “crossing over the abyss”? And this is how I find myself?

Answer: I do not know if I should say “I find myself.” I am not for the idea that a person should feel like he is winning something. He does not win anything.

Question: Then what are we living for? I always want to get something.

Answer: How do you consider yourself better than an animal? You do not question their lives. So do not question yours either.

Question: So should I abandon all hope and live like this? What is “I”?

Answer: “I” is that in me that constantly seeks the meaning of life. And that is our life.

Question: The search for the meaning of life?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will we ever find it?

Answer: I think it will reveal itself to us all, to absolutely everyone! But not in this world, not in this existence. It is absolutely impossible to realize, grasp, or reveal the meaning of life in our world.

Question: But we still have to cross over the abyss?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, I am walking over the abyss and I know that it is not now, it is not here, and it is unknown what I will get, but I keep walking and walking?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will I ever get something? You said, “It will reveal itself.”

Answer: You will, definitely.

Comment: It is not easy.

My Response: Do not say it is not easy or easy! It depends on how you relate to all of this. If you see the Creator, life, and so on in front of you, then you just walk, and you still want to understand what is given to you: why, what for, and how.

Question: So, all the time you seem to be saying this: do not wish for anything, do not have a desire to get something, but just go. That is how you live—just go! Can you live like that?

Answer: Yes, you can live like that.

Question: You keep walking and walking. Is this what life is?

Answer: Yes. It is easier if you do not ask, harder if you ask.

A Life Blessed by the Lord

737.01It is written: “A Field that the Lord Has Blessed.” Our whole life is like a field along which a man walks and collects everything from it that seems useful for his life. But if he wants his state to be like a field that is blessed by the Creator, then he must treat his life as a gift given to him from above.

The Creator is inside this field of life and allows a man to receive from it everything necessary in order to grow a harvest in this field and enjoy the fruit grown with the blessing of the Creator. And then it turns out that his field is truly a field blessed by the Creator.

The field is the upper power of the Creator clothed in the world. And in this field good fruit can grow, and harmful weeds can grow too. It all depends on the man and on how he accepts all this, that is, on what he wants to grow in this field.

The Creator has prepared a field, land, and seeds for a man; the only thing missing is man’s work. And it depends on a man’s attitude to this field of his life: whether he wants good, correct fruit to grow in this field or whether he is indifferent and does not think about it at all.

Therefore, if a person treats his life as a field blessed by the Creator, then he must connect with the Creator and make every effort so that everything that is needed grows in this field.

The Main Thought of the Creator

294.4Question: “The Dalai Lama, when asked what surprised him most about humanity, answered “Man! Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about the future that he does not enjoy the present; the result being that he does not live in the present or the future; he lives as if he is never going to die, and then dies having never really lived.”

How can you learn to live so that when you die you have no regrets?

Answer: I think it is about a person striving to be ready to die. That is, I live as I believe I should within my limited capabilities. And when the time comes to die, I will have no regrets.

Question: Is this the formula we need to follow? But do I still invest in every day, in every minute of my life?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What do you call life?

Answer: The connection of a person with the thought of the Creator I call life.

Question: But I do not know the thoughts of the Creator.

Answer: I try to understand and implement what the Creator wants us to know and attain.

Comment: So life is about constantly learning this. And along this path, we have all sorts of ascents and descents.

My Response: It only helps us to unite and attain the depth of the Creator’s wisdom.

Question: Can you say what the main thought of the Creator is?

Answer: The main thought of the Creator is for a person to want to connect with all people, with all of nature, into one single whole, and to reveal the Creator in all of this.

Question: If a person has a feeling and lives with the feeling that they can be immortal, is it good or bad?

Answer: I can imagine what it means to be immortal, but at the same time I can imagine how a person can suffer if the Creator does not allow them to escape from the limitations of the mind, from the tasks that constantly circulate in person’s mind and heart.

Therefore let’s hope we have that choice ahead of us.

Are We Fighting to the Death or to Victory?

962.2Question: A man is walking through the market, and a dealer in fighting roosters shouts to him: “Buy my rooster, he fights to the death.”

“Why do I need a rooster that fights to death? I need one who fights to win,” the buyer replies.

Basically our whole life is full of fighting: small and big fights and so on. Are we fighting to the death or to victory after all?

Answer: If we only knew. The most important thing for us is to understand what is required of us.

Question: So by and large we don’t know the purpose?

Answer: No, we don’t know.

Question: Then how should we conduct these battles? Let it be our cockfights, but how should we conduct them?

Answer: We just need to imagine what we want to win, what will happen when we, we or our rivals, enemies, win. It is only going to get worse. Along the way, we will destroy many of both. As a result, there will be devastated countries, people killed, and so on.

Question: Is this a victory or defeat?

Answer: Whether it will be a victory, I do not know.

Question: So often, and maybe even almost always, our victories turn out to be our defeats?

Answer: Yes.

Question: So, what will turn out to be a victory then?

Answer: When we realize that we need to get closer, connect, and put things in order together in ourselves and in the world around us.

Question: Without capturing anyone or anything? Without threatening anyone?

Answer: No, those who capture usually lose.

Question: Do we defeat ourselves with this?

Answer: Yes, victory is a victory over oneself.

Question: Can we say that every moment in life is a fight?

Answer: Yes.

Question: You once said that every day, every moment, should be spent as if it were the last.

Answer: Yes. A person should be aware of how long he has to live, whether he will live to the end of the day or not. What will happen if he does not live; with what calculation he will leave this world? That is the way you have to live.

Comment: Usually a person does not ask such a question.

My Response: But it is not clear why. After all, for all of us there is the beginning of the day and the end of the day. So why can’t there be a beginning of life and an end of life.

Question: Now, in a moment? Do I really have to keep this up all the time? It’s impossible to live like this!

Answer: On the contrary, it is very good.

Question: I should think about what I will do because at the end of the day it is not known what will happen to me?

Answer: Yes, everyone can do it. You just need to train a person to look at it normally, and then he can do a lot of useful things in his life.

Question: And what conclusions do you think he will draw then: How am I going to live this day if it’s going to be my last?

Answer: Think about your attitude to everyone, to the world in such a way as to leave a good impression of yourself in the world.

Question: What does a good impression mean to the world?

Answer: To do as much good in the world as possible.

Question: What is the benefit to the world?

Answer: The benefit to the world is the good connection between people that remains after you.

A Soul that Yearns to Free Itself from Shackles of this Life

202.0Question: One day a disciple came to his teacher and said to him: “Teacher, I want full realization and perfect attainment of the truth.” “Wait,” says the teacher, “It will take some time, and this will certainly happen to you.” “No,” said the student, “I want it to happen now, right now!”

The student followed after the teacher.  The teacher took the student to the river, grabbed his head, plunged it into the water, and held it until he began to choke. Then he released the disciple who cried out: “What are you doing?! Another moment and I would have died!” The teacher replied. “Now you understand to whom the truth is revealed.”

The question is: Is it really to this extent?

Answer: Of course. The upper truth is revealed only to those who cannot live without it, who agree to do anything for the sake of its attainment.

Question: How do we come to such a demand?

Answer: This is only at the will of the Creator.

Comment: Because there are a lot of things around us.

My Response: No, no, everything around you does not matter at all. But it is possible to come to the meaning of life, to reveal it, to feel it only if a person understands that there is no other way. That is, it should be above life and death.

Question: Does a person bring himself to such an extreme state or is he brought to it?

Answer: No, this is the soul. This is a soul that seeks to free itself, to free itself from the shackles of this life.

Question: Does it mean that these are special souls, and we do not know when this will happen within us?

Answer: Yes, but gradually an increasing number of souls are approaching this state.

Question: Is this what we call a cry, a prayer?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does a gift come from above?

Answer: Everything is a gift. Absolutely everything is a gift from the Creator.

Question: Are my efforts to come to this point a gift?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will it not come to a normal head otherwise?

Answer: Never to anyone, and in no way. It only comes from the Creator and only to those whom He designates for it.

Question: Tell me, please, is the revelation of the truth the end or the beginning of the work?

Answer: Revelation of the truth is the beginning.

Question: Will there again be getting to the fact that it is impossible to breathe, and revelation again?

Answer: But it will be different.

Question: Then the last question is: What is the truth?

Answer: Attainment of the Creator, attainment of the entire universe through the Creator. This is the attainment of the perfection of the Creator’s actions.

Question: Is this what we have to attain?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does everyone have to attain this one way or another, sooner or later?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will everyone be taken through this state when I cannot breathe until I attain?

Answer: Not to such an extent. There are special souls who have to go through this in such a large volume on their own. And there are those who follow them, in their footsteps, en masse.

Then the Pain and Suffering Will Disappear

963.4Question: from Anya:

You often say that you need to be happy. How can we be happy about what is happening today? There is no joy today. Today you are afraid of tomorrow. There’s so much grief around today, how can I be happy? How to be happy?

My Response: A person should strive to comprehend the meaning of life and see that the meaning of life is for life itself to be revealing to you:  what it is for, why it is, and where it leads through animal death, in general, where it leads us and where it pulls us. A person should strive for this revelation.

Question: In principle, do we understand that from birth to “coffin” is a segment of my life?

Answer: This is a period of life that, in general, does not count as life, because you are following some clear instinctive instructions of nature here. You act in accordance with the order to survive, get comfortable, suffer less, and so on.

Question: And so, I have to jump out of this state?

Answer: Yes. You have to jump out of this state in order to feel the meaning of existence.

Question: Where is the joy here?

Answer: The joy here is in comprehending the whole universe. Joy is in understanding the meaning.

Question: Anya asks: “How can you be happy today when all this is happening?”

Answer: When you understand what all this is for and how much every movement of inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature, everything is aimed at revealing the mystery of life.

Question: Is it possible to link what is happening around, suffering and horrors, to this chain, the disclosure of the mystery of life?

Answer: Of course, that is what all this is for.

Question: And when it hurts?

Answer: When it hurts, then it is all the more necessary to understand that all this leads us eventually to a sense of inner meaning.

Question: And does this lead to joy?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And what happens to the pain?

Answer: The pain disappears. If we know exactly what for, why, and for what, we become included in it, then there is no pain, and everything becomes meaningful.

Question: Breakdowns happen here; what do I lose again and find again in this movement?

Answer: They happen so often that you think that is how it should be.

Question: So, I’m going to lose and find, lose and find, this meaning of life?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And it’s still considered that I’m getting stronger and getting closer?

Answer: You are getting stronger all the time and moving forward.

Question: Is there no other way to move toward this?

Answer: No, immersion in the meaning of life is the comprehension of the Creator.

What Is Written in the Book of Life?

198Question: The sage spoke a simple phrase, “A person must acquire both knowledge and wisdom.” And when asked what the difference was, he replied: “Knowledge is achieved by reading books, and wisdom is achieved by reading the book that you yourself are.”

What kind of book am I?

Answer: Life, the book of life, experience.

Question: Is this me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What does it mean to read this book?

Answer: Do not forget, remember, understand how you live.

Question: So was this book written in myself?

Answer: It is written in you by your life. But only you can be imbued with it and understand it if you leaf through it.

Question: On one hand, it says “reading.” You just said, “It is being written.” What does it mean to write this book in myself?

Answer: Writing is my writing it myself. Every day, every minute, at every moment, I solve some problems or tasks set for me and take them into action. And here I just need to understand how all this happens, which decision is correct, and which is not.

Question: If this is a book that must be read, what is the correct solution?

Answer: I must think through what I am doing, what I need, why and how, make a decision, and act.

Question: How can one make the right decision?

Answer: I must make the right decisions as if each were the last, final decision, and I will not be given an opportunity to redo.

Comment: So you do not give any room for error at all. You seem to say: “This is your decision and that is it.”

My Response: How will you correct these errors? There is no error correction. Now I have made a decision and that is it.

Question: What is this book written with?

Answer: The book of life is written with doubts and blood.

Question: Does blood mean suffering?

Answer: Of course.

Question: So this whole book, it is scary to say, is in blood, that is, in my suffering, in what I went through, and what humanity went through? That is my book.

Answer: Yes, we have been living this way for thousands of years.

Question: Is this the correct scripture? Is that how it was supposed to be written?

Answer: Yes, there is no other way.

Comment: That is, I do not regret anything, nothing that happened, all the suffering that happened, including the most terrible. It turns out that all this was necessary to write a book.

My Response: Yes.

Question: What are the last lines in it? What does this book lead to?

Answer: It encourages us to open our eyes even wider and look at the world clearly. And we would see that it is only we who paint a picture of this world and ourselves in it. In reality there is nothing else.

Question: Except what?

Answer: Except that we determine all this.

Question: Do we determine the existence of this world? Just the way it is?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is it really like?

Answer: There is no world.

Question: What is it there?

Answer: Whatever you define is what it is.

Question: But do I exist?

Answer: Whatever you define.

Question: That is, I determine that this is such a world, and I determine that it is me in it? And that’s all?

Answer: That is it!

Question: What is there?

Answer: There is nothing except your impression of how you draw it.

Question: Let us say that I come to this, although it is not easy to understand. I come to this, so what? And that is where this book takes me?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: They say that after all we are led to happiness.

My Response: What happiness?! Is someone telling you about sky-high happiness? About the fact that there will be some kind of happiness at the end of days?

Question: What do they lead to then? I want to believe…

Answer: Toward that you get to know the world in which you found yourself in.

Question: And is this how I am led by these sufferings and blows, just to get acquainted with this world?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But they beat me for some reason. Not just for me to get to know the world. Is there something I should gain from all this?

Answer: This is the law “to each according to his work on himself.”
