How Can We Rise Above Animalistic Desires?

631.3Question: The more we progress, the more our animalistic desires grow. How can a group or a “ten” help a friend rise above these desires to draw closer to the Creator? In what form is this help expressed?

Answer: In every possible way. How can a “ten” assist any friend in any state whatsoever? First and foremost, through example.

Beyond example, there is mutual support and unconditional assistance. But generally speaking, it is through example. Examples can be both positive and negative.

I can demonstrate my dedication and aspiration toward the Creator by providing a positive example to my friend. Conversely, I can unintentionally hint at a negative example. However, this is very difficult to define precisely. One must be cautious about this.
