Question: What is the state of death in spirituality?

Answer: It is parting with the Creator.

Question: Is spiritual death inevitable at every stage or can we avoid it?

Answer: At each stage of one’s spiritual ascent, a person must momentarily experience the state of death. Then, the next step opens before one, and one enters it. That is necessary for our development.

Question: What does it mean “in the state of death” to take upon oneself the work of faith above reason? How is it done?

Answer: In the state of death, we do not find ourselves. But what we consider disconnection from the path, from the Creator, we say that it is similar to death. We must accustom ourselves to such states and realize that our spiritual life is much higher than this.
