We were given the path of faith, which is above reason (Rabash, “The Meaning of Truth and Faith”).

Reason is what we feel and understand, whereas faith is what we must rise to and accept above reason. Namely not to take our sensations and reason into account when we sense whether something is good or bad for us, but instead accept that the Creator knows better what is good for us and what is not.

For example, in our world we go to a doctor. Personally, I am very afraid of injections. I have undergone many operations and have been cut many times, yet I am still afraid. Any form of correction or healing is done upon living flesh. We must strive to reach a state in which we can endure any changes, any corrections, joyfully and without pain.

When the Creator begins to heal us, it will be pleasant, joyful, and sweet for us that this is happening to us, provided that we perceive the importance of the goal as greater than the importance of our animal body.

This has been absolutely verified; it is completely certain!

If a person connects to the goal, then it does not matter what sufferings pass through the body because he will not feel them as suffering at all, but only as joy. This is not masochism; it is simply a law of nature, because thought is higher than desire, higher than the flesh.
