Questions about Joy on the Spiritual Path

939.01Question: How can we build a desire in the ten so that we feel good and bring joy to the Creator?

Answer: First of all you need to think about what you do for the Creator and only then for yourself.

Question: I am happy that I have the Creator, the teacher, and the friends, and I do not want any more joys.

Answer: That is the correct state.

Question: It is written that the measure of joy testifies to the measure of truth contained in the faith. If we are not in joy for a long time, what does this mean?

Answer: It means that you have no faith.

Question: Is joy a consequence that arises after the correct connection and good deeds in relation to the ten or the Creator?

Answer: It does not matter. But joy is always a consequence of a good deed.

Question: I want not just to rejoice, but to deserve joy.

Answer: Try to deserve it by raising the Creator higher and higher and connecting everything that happens with Him.
