Question: What should I do during times of pain and suffering, when a direction is unclear? What should I do in a state of confusion and lack of understanding?

Answer: A state of confusion, a state of lack of understanding, a state of joy, a state of pain, a state of understanding—we must relate to each of them as the most effective and necessary at the given moment. It does not matter how it is felt in my desire to receive.

What matters is that I experience it, that I don’t dwell in unawareness, in the feeling that I am simply living; I should feel that this state is my spiritual state, which I can connect with the Creator who gives it to me.

Then it doesn’t matter what kind of state it is, it can be bad or good, the main thing is that through it, I feel the Creator sending it to me. From here, my path to advancement begins.

The state of confusion usually indicates an ascent to a higher degree relative to the previous state. If in a state of scattered attention, when a person does not understand, does not know, is confused, tries to listen and cannot, he makes efforts, then in this way, the higher degree is attained.
