Question: Is a prayer born when I make efforts with the right intention?

Answer: It all depends on the strength of our connection, on how much we strive for bestowal between ourselves and above ourselves so as to transform all our initially egoistic relationships into bestowal.

After all, we do not have the power of bestowal. We build it by rising above our egoism and beginning to reformat it into the ability to bestow. We make the Creator out of ourselves. This is what the Creator said: “You make Me.” We really create Him.

A prayer is born when I make efforts with the right intention, either when I cannot make efforts and understand that I am not able to make them or when I can make efforts, but I understand that they are wrong and at the same time I do not have any others.

A prayer can be for any reason; the main thing is that its final direction is to the Creator. Then it can be called a prayer.

Question: What can I bestow to the Creator in a state of enjoyment and a state of descent?

Answer: Whatever you feel, that is what you should bestow.

Question: When outwardly it seems that a friend cannot overcome some obstacle for many years and does not genuinely ask the ten for help, how can this state be identified?

Answer: It is difficult. Everything goes through the Creator; everything comes from Him. You need to ask Him to clarify your state for you.

Question: Do we need to chew over our descents to feel and experience them deeply?

Answer: No, not as much as you think. You should not dwell on, worry about, and chew over descents. The main thing is to get out of these states as quickly as possible.

Question: What can help us avoid falling into self-indulgence when we are in ascent and positive states from our connection with the Creator?

Answer: It is only if you support each other together.

Question: How is a new vessel of bestowal built during an ascent?

Answer: As I rise, I constantly check myself to see how much more I can bestow to the Creator.

Question: When we are in ascent, it is as if the Creator pushes us down, and when we are in a descent, the body says, “Why continue working in this state?” How can we maintain balance and connection with the Creator in these calculations?

Answer: For this you need to constantly stay connected with your friends so that your connection with the Creator is maintained through your unity, and then you will not go wrong.

Question: When you were studying with Rabash and had certain complaints toward him, he would say: “Why didn’t you ask?” Is it the same request every time? Or does it change? What did he mean when he asked you that?

Answer: He meant that one must always turn to the Creator but only after properly clarifying the issue. That is, when I want to achieve such a connection with my friends that the Creator is revealed within it and by doing so I will give Him contentment because He desires to dwell within and fill the creation with everything He has.

This state is compared either to the suffering of a cow bursting from excess of milk, eager to give to everyone but no one is taking, or to the agony of a woman in labor who wants to give birth, but the moment of birth has not yet come.

Such a state is very intense. It is an inner state that the Creator experiences because the desire to bestow is much stronger than the desire to receive.

We need to imagine this state of His and prepare ourselves to ask, not because we want it, but because He needs it.

Question: How can one constantly remain in mutual responsibility so that the Creator does not remind us of Himself with obstacles like accidents, courts, or health issues?

Answer: I do not think the Creator reminds us of the lack of mutual responsibility in such a way; these are your assumptions. We cause all the problems with our increased egoism, not by not participating in mutual guarantee. Do not think of the Creator’s governance in this way.

We have a system of self–management in our hands, partially of course, but still in our hands, and therefore we must be fully oriented toward the Creator.

But in no case claim that because I am not in mutual responsibility a brick fell on my head. No, don’t do that. Otherwise, you will wander off into very bad philosophies.

Question: How can a person determine in which desire they acted as a righteous person and in which as a sinner?

Answer: They must feel it. If they do not feel it, they should perform actions characteristic of a righteous person, see whether they can actually carry them out, and ask the Creator for help.

Question: Can one trust their inner impression in this process?

Answer: No, they cannot.

A righteous is someone who wishes to justify the Creator in all His actions. They may not yet be fully capable of justifying Him, but they already have the desire to do so to some extent. A person cannot immediately feel oneself as righteous; he always starts from the opposite state, as wicked.

You must clearly feel what you receive from the Creator, what your desires and intentions are, and where they are directed, and you will feel yourself to be even more wicked and only wish to receive for your own sake.

Question: What do we do with the wicked within us?

Answer: We wish to turn them into righteous.

Question: Can there be a state where we feel a strong connection with the Creator but simultaneously feel a sense of lack?

Answer: Yes, that can happen.

Question: How can this state be characterized? As a preparation for the next leap forward?

Answer: It does not matter, even if you cannot explain it. Do you truly understand the inner forces at work in such a state? The main thing is that we remain constantly directed toward the Creator through our connection with the friends.

Question: When we unite with friends from other groups, we feel the emergence of new connections, and due to the growth of egoism, some resistance arises. How can we understand what the Creator is pointing out to us now?

Answer: This can only be understood through our work process. It is impossible to explain it verbally. These feelings must develop within us, and we need to realize them.

Question: What is the inner network that envelops us and elevates us?

Answer: It is our connection with one another.

Question: When we make efforts, ask, and pray, should we feel suffering that nothing is working out?

Answer: No, there should be joy in moving toward correction.

Question: If there is an impression that before the congress that the Creator adds obstacles to connection, how should we correctly respond to such pressure from the Creator?

Answer: Accept it with gratitude.

Question: How should we enter the ten’s internal state so we can feel the connection between us?

Answer: Ask the Creator for it. Constantly ask.

Question: If I transition from my reason to faith above reason, does that mean I am hiding from the Creator?

Answer: No, it is impossible to hide from the Creator. Ask that He reveals Himself to us and brings us closer to Him—that, we must do. So let us ask for this.

The transition to faith above reason gives us the ability to sense the Creator. This marks the beginning of higher attainment.
