Question: How can one balance annulment with pride in serving the Creator and the group? What should you do when you want to annul yourself, but at the same time you recognize the importance of the goal and the value of your intention?

Answer: Agree to feel these great states with the intention “for the sake of the goal,” but under no circumstance should you desire to receive them for yourself.

Question: We are taught to see our friend as great, yet he annuls himself. This feeling is irritating. I don’t want him to lower himself because he is in fact worthy of us elevating him.

Answer: His annulment does not affect the way you perceive him.

Comment: But I see the contradiction: he lowers himself, but he is not really like that.

My Response: Then try to raise him in your own eyes.
