We Can Be a “Thoroughbred Horse”

504Question: There is a parable about a  rich man was riding in a luxurious carriage drawn by six thoroughbred horses. They reached the mud, got stuck in it, and could not get out. Suddenly along comes a cart with a peasant and two non–pedigree horses, and they calmly skip through this mud.

The rich man asks the peasant: “How did you manage to do that?” He says: “You see, your horses, sir, although they are strong individually, there is no connection between them, each one considers itself more thoroughbred than the other and pulls in its own direction. You whip one, and the other is only happy about it. My horses, however, are simple, of the same breed, you threaten one of them with a whip a little, and the other one puts all her strength to help the one next to it.”

Nowadays humanity is all thoroughbred horses. Countries with their flags, with their anthems, with their pride. We are stuck in the mud, by and large, and cannot get out of it.

How can we all become such simple horses that skip through this mud and not thoroughbreds?

Answer: This requires the recognition of evil.

First of all, we are simple horses. Secondly, we cannot get out of the mud, the swamp of our lives, if we will not think about each other. Only together will we be able to go through all this swamp.

Question: So is it possible to be such a horse that feels that the other one is just about to be threatened with a whip, and is already accelerating?

Answer: Yes, of course. This connection is mutual. It is necessary in order to overcome any obstacles.

Question: Can we say that we will be in the mud anyway if we are thoroughbred horses?

Answer: No, we can be thoroughbred horses. But not in order to gloat over each other and to think only about ourselves.

Question: Does this apply to all of humanity and to each person individually?

Answer: Yes. This, in principle, is how each person judges himself.

Question: Is there an “I” in each of us that says: “I am better than the other, I am higher than the other”?

Answer: This is in each of us, we are egoists according to our original material. Therefore, we must think about the way we can move to universal love.

Question: In what case is this possible? When does this click, this flip, happen?

Answer: When we see that our nature is evil. It was specially created by the Creator so that we could change it to the opposite one.

Question: Is that why He created it?

Answer: Yes, specifically for this because we realize what good means only if we move to it from absolute evil.

Question: When does the understanding of the Creator’s thought come to me? At what point?

Answer: Firstly, it does not come to everyone. Secondly, it comes when a person really tries to find the meaning of life. This is when it comes.

Question: At what point is this search laid in me? When does it manifest in me? Is it as soon as I am born?

Answer: No, it is not simple and not for every person. There are people to whom this comes gradually over the course of life. And there are people for whom it does not come at all. This is still the majority of people.

So we must disseminate the thought of creation and correction in the world so that everyone understands that he was created in order to correct his evil to good.

Question: Does everyone have to come to this?

Answer: In principle, everyone, because the purpose is universal correction.
