“Death comes to the Blacksmith with a scythe and asks him to sharpen it. He sharpens the scythe in horror, thinking that Death has come for him.

He sharpens it and says, “I can’t believe I’m holding a weapon in my hands that has mowed down so many people.”

And suddenly Death jumps up to him and says, “I didn’t kill anyone, not a single person! It’s not me! It’s you killing each other and blaming me.

I used to be a beautiful girl. I met the souls of people and escorted them to their resting place. And today I wore black clothes so that you couldn’t see the blood on me. I put on a hood to hide the tears that I cried, because I can’t stop this horror of your hatred—these wars, and blood, and so on. And today I’m an old woman. You made me like this.”

So says Death as she takes the scythe, turns around, and leaves.

And then he quietly asks her: “Why do you need a scythe then?” She replies: “The road to paradise—it has long been overgrown with grass” (Translation of”Domovoy’s Diary” by Evgeniy Cheshirko).

My Response: 🙂 Good!

Comment: Which means, as always, we blame someone. We do it in a terrible way: death with a hood, black clothes, and a scythe. And we don’t see that…

My Response: …that this is actually the road to heaven. In fact, it is so.

According to Kabbalah, our world is the worst of the worlds, the lowest of the worlds. And therefore there is nothing to regret that your being in it ends.

Question: I wanted to ask another question that Death asked. She said: “It’s you! Look at yourself! That’s how you are, not me. You created my scary image, and you are so scary yourself.”

Here there is a reversal. In principle, is this the main thing that a person should do?

Answer: Of course. He is killing himself from day to day, instead of making himself a free, bright, and eternal being.

Question: And then what will this Death with a scythe turn into?

Answer: It is necessary to kill egoism in a person.

Question: Does the person do it within himself?

Answer: Within himself, yes.

Question: What do I reveal then?

Answer: That your egoism is killing you, and you have to kill it.

Question: What attitude will I have toward death then, since it will come to me one way or another?

Answer: Calm!

Question: I won’t depict it like this?

Answer: No! It’s just a transition from one state to another.

Question: In principle, I could depict Death with a scythe as something very light. Can I eventually advance to this?

Answer: Yes. Death is a light state.

Question: Do I draw it in a black state when this black exists in me, when there is egoism in me? And when I start working with it, does everything turn over for me?

Answer: Yes. Renounce egoism and you enter the bright world.

Question: And then death will seem to be a completely bright state?

Answer: Of course. After all, only the quality of egoism is being killed in you and there remains a small quality of altruism that was in you, but you did not bother to develop it. And when you develop it, then everything changes for you.

Question: When they tell you that the road to paradise is too overgrown and it needs to be cleaned, what do you imagine?

Answer: We must go to that entrance to paradise—the quality of bestowal and love—and try to tread, to trample this path for everyone.

Question: When they say “overgrown,” what is it overgrown with?

Answer: Egoism. We feed this road with our egoism. It is overgrown, of course. We do not allow the quality of bestowal and love to manifest, which would clean this road.

Question: So it’s not that easy to pass through this road? Does it really need to be mowed? And the scythe needs to be sharpened?

Answer: It is necessary to sharpen it.

Question: Is this done by the person himself?

Answer: Of course.

Question: What does it mean that I have sharpened my scythe and mow?

Answer: I go out against my egoism and I just want to cut it off, to cut it off until it practically disappears.
