Question: If I choose a friend based on the measure of the greatness of the goal that he gives me, can I rely on him along the way?

Answer: We unite together according to only one criterion—the degree to which we understand each other in the desire to merge with the Creator. I have no demands toward you. I choose you despite your appearance, education, and everything else.

I choose the group solely according to their desire for the Creator. This desire also has various external expressions. If we ignore them and consider only the pure desire for the Creator, can they all be the same for me? No!

In fact, each person has a certain character that manifests outwardly in different ways. One expresses himself more calmly, another frivolously, a third with anger, a fourth in joy and even with laughter.

But I should find such friends in whom there is not only a yearning for the Creator, but in whom it manifests in a form close to me, because I am only beginning to connect with them, at the beginning of the path. I cannot break external stereotypes and see the friend’s warm heart.

That is, the yearning for the Creator and the form in which it is expressed are the two factors in choosing friends.
