What Attitude Should We Develop Toward the State While We Are in It?

When we are in a bad state, we cannot do anything if we did not take care beforehand to prepare a soft place for us to land. However, “what the mind does not do, time does.” The descent continues until mercy is shown to us from above, because after all, we have some merits there that we acquired through previous actions or by sitting among people who have merits, and then we are pulled out of this state.

Nevertheless, we must secure ourselves in advance with friends, a group, and a schedule. The schedule is very important. Why is it so important to record who comes to the group and when? It is because order is very important. We can come to the lesson and sleep through it, we all understand that, but not coming at all is out of the question. We can be absent when we have planned and decided it in advance, when we have obligations, but not because we failed to overcome weakness or out of negligence and forgetfulness.
