The primary factor affecting the speed of one’s spiritual advancement is habit. If a person demanded a reward for every action he performed, he would quickly achieve revelation of the Upper World.

I got up at night and came to the lesson, so where is my reward?

I asked You a question, so where is Your answer? (When addressing the Creator.)

I turned to the group and lowered myself in order to be filled with the greatness of the goal, so where is it?

If I constantly demanded things in this manner from myself, the friends, and the Creator, then I would be using every instant of my life (good as well as bad) effectively and would move ahead quickly.

A person needs to be constant searching and cognizing, like a little child. The scariest thing in the world would be to become old while you are still a child, because then you could no longer study or be impressed. You would have no life spirit and thus you would become just a tired old man.

But an old man should be like a child!
