Question: If I feel comfortable in the group, does that mean I have nothing to give it?

Answer: If you feel good and comfortable, then in that state you certainly cannot give anything to the group.

Only when a person feels tension from lacking the goal, when they question the meaning of life, can they contribute something. If a person has no desire, they are as if dead. When there is no desire, that is called death!

In that case, one must delve more deeply into study and into actions that are performed without intention since in that state one cannot add intention, and then the actions themselves will lead to intention. These are actions in which one unites with others and receives their desires from friends.

Let them engage in dissemination and they will receive a boost of spirit. Let them study and they will receive inspiration from the author of the book. Let them go work in the kitchen and they will serve the group and receive inspiration from the group.

A person must invest themselves in something at the level they are capable of, even at the inanimate level, in order to awaken at a higher level—vegetative, animate, and speaking. A person can always invest themselves, even without any intentions.

Thus, someone who does not create frameworks that obligate them to return to actions in relation to the group is not valuing time, not shortening it, and advances only sporadically.

Therefore if you lack work, take on translating articles, work on some material…do something!

Every group, no matter where it is located in the world, must, even artificially, build such frameworks for itself so that each person has some responsibility toward the group and the group toward the individual. Otherwise, if we feel free, we behave according to the desire to receive.

This is the very first and most important thing a group must establish for itself: a strict order of actions that allows no deviation so that no one feels free even for a moment, even in their free time.
