Break Out of the Shell of Egoism
Question: We often hear the phrase: “one man with one heart.” If the heart is a desire, doesn’t the entire world Kli want to reveal the Creator? What do we still lack to become one man with one heart with one desire to attain the Creator?
Answer: We only lack the correct work in the heart: to open it in relation to friends, connect everyone within our heart, and reach connection with the Creator.
Question: Are we not mature enough for this, or are we lazy, or are we not yet supposed to reveal this?
Answer: Perhaps you are not yet mature enough. But mostly, you are held back by a certain inertia, where you cannot convince yourself to rise above yourself.
Question: I can judge for myself: I feel very comfortable in our society; it’s so good, so beloved, it truly opens the heart. And within this cocoon of love, the thought arises, “Why move further?” What should we do about this?
Answer: This is a problem. The point is that you must forcefully break the shell (Klipa) in which you are encased and try to emerge into the fresh air. Moreover, everyone must do this together.
Rise above yourself, to a new degree. Feel that on this degree, you are indeed in some state of elevation, and from this state, begin to connect with each other, and direct this connection toward the Creator.
Question: Is it possible to do this if I do not see that this is relevant for the ten now?
Answer: That cannot be! This is precisely what you must work on. It will only become relevant through your simultaneous effort when each person “comes out of themselves,” connects with their friends, and in a common desire, connects with the Creator.
