Question: I feel pain because of what is happening in my country. How can I make it so that I feel pain from the lack of adhesion with the Creator and yearning for Him?

Answer: We must ask for both. On one hand, ask the Creator to connect us and give us the quality of bestowal, love, and connection. On the other hand, ask that we rise above our egoism and thus become more spiritual.

Question: I notice that the greatest egoistic pleasure I experience is when I control something, promote something of my own. Then it becomes unpleasant, I experience the feeling of shame and abomination. How can I escape from this?

Answer: It should influence you not because it is unpleasant, but because it is against the Creator. Then you can ask to be raised out of this state.

Question: How can I stay in a state of lowliness before the Creator, in awareness of His greatness, and the fact that there is none else besides Him? It keeps slipping away.

Answer: If you keep trying to do this, you will understand why you are given such conditions and states. You will have the right discernment of the way the Creator educates you.

Question: When I want to ask you a question, I have fear and trembling. But when I turn to the Creator or to my friends, there is no such fear. Is this a manifestation of egoism?

Answer: Practice. Speak on your own the words of appeal to the friends, appeal to the Creator, and appeal to me. In this way, you will slowly develop a habit.

Question: Is it possible to ask the Creator to tremble before the friends?

Answer: Of course. Anything you want.
