Question: How can a person be  initially protected from mistakes on the spiritual path?

Answer: There is no way. He is like a child; until he bumps his head and breaks a couple of glasses, he will not succeed. This is how we live, only by recognizing our mistakes.

However, we can create such an environment that these mistakes will be minimal, and it will be possible to learn from them instantly. It depends on the environment. But it is impossible to protect against mistakes.

The child must fall, otherwise, he will not take care of himself. He must prick himself, hit himself; otherwise, he will not understand what this is. It is impossible to raise it in a closed capsule. Then he is a person unfit for life.

He must reach his destination. To do this, he needs to accumulate a certain amount of impressions in order to work with them.
