The Essence of the Article “The Donkey Driver”

209Question: What is the main idea of the article “The Donkey Driver”? How can you practically use what is written there for your spiritual development?

Answer: Try to find guides in your life who will lead you step by step from degree to degree, so that you finally feel, recognize them, and by yourself begin to ask for the revelation of these degrees.

In principle, this article is an instruction for those who are already in spiritual attainment.

But reading it affects a person who has not yet found all the internal properties and forces in himself and cannot operate them. After all, by reading it, he evokes upon himself the illumination of the upper light, which gradually reveals to him his inner properties and brings him closer to spiritual attainment.

Therefore, even without understanding anything in this text, a person evokes some positive forces that change him. If he is already in attainment, then he consciously uses these forces.

Know Yourself and Your Friends

165Question: How can we determine that criticism from a friend comes from love?

Answer: If you want to connect with your friend, then you must first set a goal, and then all other actions will obey this goal. The purpose of criticism is for us to know ourselves and our friends, and to rise above all disagreements with the Creator.

Question: When I am constantly criticized in the corporeal world, is it correct to leave such an environment?

Answer: Yes, it is worth moving away from them a little. In general, there can be no criticism in the right group. We must accept our friends like a child in a family who is accepted the way he is, and that’s it.

The Difference between Self-Criticism and Self-Chastising

559Question: How do we distinguish between correct self-criticism and self-chastising?

Answer: We should always be in a good mood, even if we fail completely in the connection between us and the Creator.

We still need to be in a good mood because we are somehow connected with Him and thus we are getting closer to Him. Therefore we should be in a good mood pretty much always. We are on the path to the Creator.

The Source of Warmth

509Question: According to the laws of physics, if I want to create a heat-wave, I have to take it from somewhere, and somewhere it will be cold. How can I make sure that the warmth remains everywhere?

Answer: You have a constant source of warmth; it is the Creator. If you are taking warmth from Him, then you will have enough to immerse the entire world in warmth.

Through Coming Closer to Each Other

934Question: How can we promptly prepare each of our desires for correction and for receiving the upper abundance in accordance with the Creator’s desire?

Answer: This is done only through your coming closer to each other. Everything is revealed in the fact that you get closer to each other, and then everything works out for you. Coming closer means to accept the desires of the friends as our own and to ask for the fulfillment of their desires.

Friends show an example and include all of you in a single system. Whether you want it or not, you enter into their actions, and you reach a common effort.
