Question: You have students who invest a lot, but during the lesson they just sleep. Do I need to wake them up? What to do?

Answer: Do nothing! A person should participate in the usual duties of maintaining order in the room and in everything related to the material functioning of the place where he is equally with everyone.

Everything else that concerns spirituality we cannot impose on him. The only thing you can do is demonstrate to him unobtrusively your attitude to spirituality and let it affect him as much as possible.

Comment: But there will always be someone who will point at him as a bad example.

My Response: He has no right! Where have you seen me do this? Never! Unless he does harm, or if it does not apply to physical work, like when I scold those responsible for sound or for technical malfunctions, that is, for what happens to matter in our world.

As for the soul, it is impossible to interfere in any way with this. In no way! If a person comes, he comes; if he studies, he studies, quietly and calmly. Together with everyone, he gradually goes through various states. One goes through them faster, the other one slower.

When we study at school, we are obliged to go through ten grades together. But not here; here everyone has their own path, their own pace, and completely different stages of development. Together we go through what is described in the articles. But this is only in general and not in particular!

Individually, everything is experienced separately! It cannot even be transmitted and compared.
