A person chooses a group based on what he feels in his soul; these people belong to the same idea to which he wants to advance. No one can tell him: “Choose this or that.”

He himself, as a result of his suffering, based on his life experience, even if he is young and lacks experience, feels that he wants such development. This is the guiding hand of the Creator in him.

It is the Creator who finds the group for him and brings him into it. What is incumbent upon the person is only to try to devote himself to the group in such a way that it will “brainwash” him and impart to him all its opinions, thoughts, and desires for progressing in the right direction.

If a person is ready to receive only this from the group, here lies his free choice; it is to place himself in relation to the group so that it gives him advancement and not to scatter himself among various other things. After all, everything he does is only in order to receive direction from the group, the very direction for which he initially came to it.

Then a person advances, and his advancement goes above reason because initially he does not want it. But with the help of the group, he finds the strength to move forward. If he were alone, he would not have the strength to rise above his own reason. Whatever reason he would choose, it would be his reason; it would not be above his reason.
