Master the Machine of Material Thoughts

599.02Question: Rabash writes that the machine of the material world crashes into a person’s spiritual desire and you need to protect yourself from this collision. Then a person will be sure that he will not lose what he was given, i.e., the elevation that he received.

How can you protect yourself from this accident every time?

Answer: It is only through the fact that you have the same desire as your friends. It will keep you safe. Therefore you need to get closer to each other and put the connection between you above everything else.

Comment: But the machine of material thoughts and desires still crashes into you.

My Response: What does “crashes” mean? The fact is that you have to somehow master it, connect with your friends, and control this machine together. It is like being on a ship during a storm when two or three people hold the helm and thus steer the ship to the right course against the waves.

Based on Two Inclinations

934Question: It is said that one must love the Creator with both an evil inclination and a good inclination. How can we apply this in the ten?

Answer: This is what we do. First we want to be connected with each other by a good inclination, that is, only by bestowing. Then we try to add the evil inclination to it and work together with both of them.

Finish the Work of Previous Generations

962.4Question: To what extent does how deeply we can understand the teacher and accept his methodology depend on us?

Answer: You need to accept that the implementation of the methodology you are studying depends on you and only on you.

Therefore, as long as you get closer to each other and unite more strongly with each other, you will be able to rise above the conditions that are set for you in order to achieve the goal of creation.

We are not that far from it. We just need to put our hearts and minds in order. We do not have much work left after what the previous great generations have already done.

In order to organize the heart and mind, we must overcome the little natural rejection that still remains in us and ensure that our hearts connect. Then the upper light will enter into them, and from this feeling we will attain everything.
