The one who learns to tread the spiritual path must become as an empty cup in order that the wine of music and harmony may be poured down into his heart (Hazrat Inayat Khan).

My Response: Yes, he expresses it well. That is true. If a person’s heart, meaning his main egoistic vessel, is empty and can be filled with the world’s harmony, then it is good.

Question: Does one need to empty one’s heart?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But it is full right now. What is it full of, and how can it be emptied?

Answer: If it is, it is full of selfish desires. We can empty it only if we accept all our desires as empty and unable to fulfill us and lead us on the right path.

Question: Can I do this psychologically, or is it more about education?

Answer: It is much more complex. But people will come to this eventually because there is no other way.

Question: So is this the will from above one way or another?

Answer: Yes, the Creator holds us in a way so we gradually understand who we are, in what world we exist, and how we can bring ourselves to the proper state.

Question: Does the Creator have a concept of time: “I will hold them a little longer”?

Answer: Absolutely not.

Question: But what about the fact that we have been held for so long, gone through so many years, suffered so much?

Answer: If we did not feel we were dying, we would be different. The fact that we die drives us into various thoughts, into a dead end, and so on. But, in principle, we are moving toward understanding that there is no death.

Question: And then what?

Answer: Then we will start relating to ourselves, the world, and the Creator differently. It will all be different.

Question: How?

Answer: I do not know if I can express it. It will be all free and simple.

Comment: Let it be so.
