A Simple Action
Question: What is a way to check whether I am in intention?
Answer: The intention for what? To the state in which I want to be. How do I imagine it? What is the state that I want to reach afterward? I cannot imagine the end of correction or infinity, as if I am floating there and there is no difference between left and right.
How can I imagine all these states?! Moreover, everything there is qualitative, not quantitative; there are no distances, and so on and so forth. To imagine such things is to completely lose any kind of foothold.
I imagine a state that is desirable from my point of view, and from that I begin to act. That is all. Do not imagine all sorts of abstract pictures of who-knows-what.
Question: So what is the correct action?
Answer: The action is very simple. If I want to get closer to the spiritual, since for me it is the salvation of my whole life, then I must turn to the group so that it increases the importance of entering spirituality for me, and then I will have the strength for it.
For example, today we have a gathering of friends.: “Why are we doing this? How will we influence everyone with this? How will we awaken together and feel a common force? What do we gain in the end? After all, the next day I will fall from this. Is it desirable? Maybe that is exactly what is good since then new, strong Kelim will gather in me? Today I can speak to several thousand people around the world who see me. And not just several thousand, many more! They can change my life.”
You have something to think about during the day. The result depends on what you will think about, not on what you will do. This is what it means to live in the space of intentions. The action may remain the same, but the result is what you want from it.
