We have reason to rejoice! It lies in the fact that we are approaching the point where we can rise above egoistic desire and connect with the desire for bestowal, that is, with the Creator. Then we will receive all the upper light that will bring us joy.

That is how we are designed. Therefore, anyone who wants to attain true joy must connect himself with friends and with the Creator, and from there he will receive the light of joy that will fill him. Joy can be a material matter, and it can be spiritual. It all depends on what desires we fill. With material joy, we fill our desires to receive pleasure. But with spiritual joy, we reveal and fill the desires to bestow. And the difference between these two types of desires is like between heaven and earth.

By receiving spiritual pleasure, we feel ourselves above time, space, and movement. There is no time, no place, no movement, no changes.

We simply rise above matter, above our material world, even above our material selves, and this gives us tremendous strength to continue our journey further toward the Creator.

Let us hope that we all succeed in attaining such spiritual joy.
