Question: How can a person not get stuck and not harden on the spiritual path so that he has constant movement forward?

Answer: The support of the group is needed here. A person himself cannot do anything, he will constantly forget about the spiritual goal. His animal component always aims for the stable: there is a corner with hay to lie down and sleep; there is a trough with bran or a bag of oats to eat. And he does not need anything else; he can stay in this stable forever.

In order to get out of a safe philistine corner, the support of the environment is necessary. No heroism will help here because it is necessary to make constant efforts to move forward.

The greatness of the goal is necessary here, which a person can get only from the approval of the environment; great desires are needed, and there are none. But when you look at others and see that they are burning, they have it and you do not, then jealousy, envy, and pride gnaw at you and lead you forward.

You hate the others for showing you their big desires, but that is what pushes you forward.
