Question: What is the root of honor?

Answer: It is in egoism.

Question: I have no desire to climb the spiritual degrees, but I invest as much as possible in the work and leave everything to the will of the Creator. Is that correct?

Answer: No, it is not correct. It is necessary to also make efforts by yourself.

Question: When a person has done a lot of work at a convention, has become a great righteous in his own eyes, and sees himself above the rest, he becomes a big problem for the ten. How can we help him get out of this trap, since as a rule it does not end well for him?

Answer: Usually in this case, the person leaves the group. But we have to wait. Maybe we should just talk about this case, not about this particular friend, but in general, as if it happened in a different place.

Question: Is the desire of a student to reach the state of righteousness an egoistic desire?

Answer: If a friend wants to reach this desire at the expense of others, then it is egoistic, and if he simply raises himself, this is not egoism.
