Question: What should we do if we make an hourly effort to love our friends, but the heart of the friend does not awaken? Does this mean I am not putting in enough effort, or is the effort itself incorrect?

Answer: There is no Creator in this effort. The Creator must be with you in your desire to get closer to the heart of your friend. Do not forget about the Creator in any of your actions. Only then will they be successful.

Question: I have a desire to combine self-hatred and the desire to love friends into a single whole. How can I connect these two states?

Answer: This can be done, but gradually. Try it once, then another time, and you will slowly get used to it.
