Question: You say there is no easy path. When a person advances spiritually, what does he have to overcome and where does he get nourishment from?

Answer: A person draws nourishment only from the environment; he cannot draw anything from himself. It is like a car that needs to be filled with energy—install a battery, fill the gas tank, and so on.

This external energy must be within us constantly. We must always think about how to provide ourselves with it. As a rule, this is done through two sources, which eventually merge into one: the group, the surrounding environment, and the Creator, who is also your surrounding environment, until you find them both within yourself, not outside. Therefore, one can only move forward if one is connected to them.

Comment: But you have said that you learn from your students.

My Response: I learn from them, meaning, by perceiving their desires and questions, and by beginning to answer them, I understand even more, I am impressed, I answer myself on everything I have, and I uncover an even broader picture for myself.

After all, their questions are not mine. Each soul has its own. And when I connect to other souls and include them within myself, I gain more space for exploration. I am no longer working only with my own desire, which is the matter on which I conduct all research, but with the desires of others, which I integrate into myself. That is why I am very glad to have students.
