In This Lies Our Wisdom

760.5Comment: A person stands not knowing where to go. He hears this deliberation of paths: at the end of one is hell, at the end of another is heaven. Still, he does not move anywhere. It is as if he is torn apart; he does not know which way to go!

My Response: This is our feeling every second.

Comment: So, these roads, it is not just that I stand and make a decision right now. I am always in this state.

My Response: You are always in it.

Question: Am I always at a crossroads?

Answer: Yes, every moment.

Question: So, how do I eventually decide which path to take?

Answer: You decide nothing. You decide nothing; everything is decided from above. You are led as you must be led. And this is already known and predetermined in advance. So the main thing is to agree with it, not worry, and connect with the Creator, who is arranging everything. He will take you by the hand to where you must go. You just obediently correct yourself, that is, be in agreement with Him at every moment.

Question: One way or another, do I stop at this fork for a moment, for some time, and then I need to agree with Him and go where He directs me?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Is this what it means “to go where the heart leads”?

Answer: That is how it is said. According to the definition of a straight line. A straight line is actually a curve in every point of which there is a turn.

Comment: I did not know that. For me, even from the first grades in school, it is two points and a straight line between them.

My Response: No. You cannot draw a straight line; you do not know the final point. But at each point, you make a turn, and that is why it becomes a straight line.

Comment: A person does not choose his path is what you say. The Creator chooses it for him. And you always emphasize that the line is to agree with the Creator.

My Response: Yes.

Question: Why do I agree? Is it out of exhaustion, out of wisdom? What is stronger here?

Answer: Because this is the only correct option. I am not tuning myself to something supernatural. I am not making any special decisions. I simply want to flow with the current of life in agreement with the Creator because it is above me from the beginning.

Question: How do we come to this wisdom? We keep choosing something all the time.

Answer: Then be a revolutionary. Go ahead!

Question: It is already clear that this is a lost cause. Is it a true revolution when I agree?

Answer: It is when you agree with the Creator because that is against your nature.

Question: Is that what it means to rise above my nature?

Answer: Yes, our life is a struggle with our own egoism, with what we would like for ourselves. Therefore, only such an approach is truly rational.

Question: So does “I decide” live inside us live? Is the real reversal: “You decide, not I”?

Answer: Yes, that is why we must jump up, hold on to the Creator, and in this way fly forward.

Question: I must hold on to the Creator, what is that?

Answer: It is the nature of the whole universe. A great force, the wisest force that revolves everything. And we are tiny particles within it.

Indeed, we are given the ability to realize that above us there is something that controls us. To agree that He governs, this is our wisdom if we can reveal it.

Comment: And this additional element, which you always say, that all is good, that is the hardest to accept.

My Response: If He governs and there is none else besides Him, then what remains for us? The most rational thing we must do is to submit to Him. To submit, not out of weakness, but out of understanding.

Question: Then do I automatically understand that I am moving toward good?

Answer: Yes, and then we will move toward good.
