The Source of All the World’s Problems
Questions I received on the source of our problems and the way to solve them:
Question: Is the source of all the problems taking place in the world my desire “to receive for myself”?
My Answer: Yes. And this is true for each and every one of us.
Question: Does the solution lie in redirecting this desire so as to use it for the good of the society?
My Answer: Yes. Then it will come back positively for you.
Question: Do I have to develop the desire to bestow?
My Answer: Yes. In fact, this is the only commandment (instruction given by the Creator).
Question: But if I don’t have this desire, how will I know what to develop?
My Answer: From the point in the heart, with the help of the right environment.
Question: I don’t understand: what kind of a connection do I have with the Creator?
My Answer: You’re connected to Him through the spiritual “navel,” and you’ll discover it through connecting with friends.
Question: How can we do something good for those who don’t aspire toward spirituality?
My Answer: Tell them about the cause of the suffering in the world and how to transform it to joy.
