To Deceive the Teacher

549.02Question: Is the perception of your student’s corporeal life as open to you as the spiritual one?

Answer: No, the corporeal life of my student is not the field in which I have contact with him. Absolutely not. I do not need to know what a person is doing. I feel what is happening to him in his spiritual development but not in the corporeal.

Question: And you may not even know where he is at the moment, for example, on the road or in a certain place?

Answer: I do not know that.

Question: So, your student can deceive you by saying: “I was there just now,” but in reality…

Answer: Physically? Of course he can! After all, it is not his lowest spiritual level, which is in me. Only his spiritual stage is in me.

Question: By committing some kind of deception in relation to the teacher, does the student thereby affect his spirituality?

Answer: Undoubtedly, he does.

Question: And do you feel how it is changing?

Answer: I do not know why, but the fact that his fall is happening, I see it, I feel it.

Question: And what is deception in itself?

Answer: Deception is a purposeful discrepancy between the lower and the higher or between you and a friend when you can get closer and deliberately do not go for it. This is a very bad action because it causes double distancing.

That is, you put the connection that you could make between yourself and others, not just at a distance, but in opposition to each other. This is the cunning of the serpent.

Question: But how can a person protect himself so as not to carry out this deception?

Answer: Only by the greatness of the goal.
