Question: We come to the root of suffering, why does it happen? Do we ever reach it?

Answer: The root of suffering is actually quite foolish.

The root of suffering lies in rejecting the suffering. In rejecting the suffering when I believe that what I’m going through, the pain I feel, is somehow not meant for me.

Question: So if I accepted it, I would not suffer?

Answer: Yes, then I would simply get used to this level of life.

Question: We learn that we must justify all friends so that each one is at least neutral or positive in my eyes because we know that criticism destroys.

Speaking of envy, should I choose someone specific to envy and at least justify the rest? The more you reveal your friend, the more you can see flaws rather than what to envy.

Answer: We must reach a state where we are face-to-face with our friends. Based on this, we will want only one thing—to live in an embrace with them. We need to feel how to do it.

Question: It is impossible not to feel the field of love with which the Creator has covered us. But such contradictions arise here that you begin to enjoy bestowing to your friends. How can we work further?

Answer: In the field in which you feel united, you need to awaken the force of unity so that this force affects you and brings you closer to each other. And so you will move toward the true convention.

Question: How do we awaken this force? We already feel as if the Creator has wrapped us in a blanket of love. What now? We just want to enjoy it, but that is not our path.

Answer: Yes, that will not lead to anything.

There is only one thing to do: pray for your friends so that they, just like you, feel the need to come closer, to connect with one another, and ultimately for all of us to feel like one whole.

If you strive for this and think about this, everything will surely come together.

Question: We say that I should envy my friends. But should I care about making my friends envy me, about impressing them? Or at least should I make it easier for them to envy me?

Answer: As follows from the articles of Rabash, we must do everything possible to discover in ourselves the qualities that we want to see in our friends.

Everything I understand from reading these articles I want to see in each of them. Then I will be certain that together with them, I am moving toward the goal.

Question: And if I do not see it?

Answer: If you do not see it, then you need to go deeper and deeper, or simply ask each person in the ten what special qualities they have noticed in a particular friend.

Additionally, you can ask the entire world Kli: “On what basis did we make this decision?” or “Why do we need this kind of work?” You should listen to them, and they should be interested in filling you with the right answers.
