Question: What is the correct form of self-annulment?

Answer: If you want to attain adhesion with the Creator, then you come to the group and use its forces in order to develop the intention for the sake of bestowal. Then the group becomes very important to you; you annul yourself before it in order to come to the recognition of the Creator’s greatness, and correcting the disturbances that arise on your path toward self-annulment becomes additional strength.

Question: How can I convince myself to annul myself before the friends?

Answer: I am not capable of convincing myself. It happens only if I feel that it is necessary. Reaching a state where I have nothing else to rely on and only the group can help me on the path does not come solely from my own efforts.

I can work in the group, be close to my friends, and do a thousand things, but if I do not keep in mind (even slightly) that I am doing this in order to attain the goal, that the group must help me, and that I am working in it only for this, then I will not receive a single thought, not a single clarification. This will happen only when I bring a bit of my intention, my desire. Then it will begin to work.
