Comment: It is still a mystery to me when you say: “The physical attributes of a friend are not important to me; what matters is their inner aspiration toward the Creator.”

My Response: What else is there in a person?! Everything else is animalistic!

In our animal nature, there is a special point in the heart, aspiration toward the Creator. This point is a fragment of a next, higher level. If I work with it and try to connect with it, I gather a group of these points on our physical level, a common desire.

When, by nullifying all our animal aspects, we aim to unite only the spiritual desires, we discover that we rise to the next level and reveal the next degree within this common desire.

And if we ignore our inner point and remain on the earthly level, then we are simply friends with material interests that organize our club and just live in this world. It is one or the other!

Why have we gathered together? To rise to the next level! Therefore, we need to discover our spiritual points and connect them to create a single spiritual vessel. In it, we will feel the next state, the next level, the upper world!

But if we focus on our animal characteristics such as physical attributes or character, we will remain at the level of our world and never transcend it.
