Comment: There is an amazing way to get acquainted. Just imagine: a guy enters a room, and he is presented with a bunch of different test tubes. He has to determine which smell he likes best, which one he feels is closest to him. He picks one, and then they tell him: “This scent matches this specific girl.” It is the same for girls. She picks a scent, and they say: “Here is your guy.”

My Response: This is very important to us. The cells that respond to smell cover a huge area in our brain.

Question: So could this English method be considered advanced enough?

Answer: It is not advanced; it is old and natural.

Question: So can I actually choose a partner largely by smell?

Answer: Absolutely! There is no doubt that this is how we are drawn to or repelled from each other even unconsciously. And what about all that perfume and such? It is natural. But why am I saying this? That should not be the main criterion.

We should match not on the level of scent, although that is also very important, and not on the level of various other preferences, but on the level of understanding our proper direction toward the purpose of creation.

If we were all striving toward the true purpose of creation, it would have been much easier for us to find a partner, because in essence, we would not differ much from one another. We would not differ.

Question: So one goal, and we are already similar?

Answer: Yes, this goal would unite all of us.

Comment: But that is a very lofty idea. It is very high for young people to talk about the purpose of creation!

My Response: And in the end, what happens? It turns out very low.

Comment: Young guys talking about the purpose of creation?

My Response: They will not invent anything better. What they get is some kind of “love for an hour,” and that is the end of it.

Question: So what should they understand? The purpose of creation? What do you include in that?

Answer: Why am I getting married? Why should I tie my life to this person? In the end, married couples will not hold on to each other. People will just meet, have kids, and split up.

Question: That was exactly my question how can one find a partner for life? And are you saying that it can be done only by this criterion?

Answer: Only the final goal, that is what must hold us together.

Question: And why am I looking for a partner? Why do I get married?

Answer: To reach this ultimate goal together with my partner, in the correct connection with them. But for that, I also need friends and not just partners.

Question: But can you say what the specific goal is? What is the purpose of creation?

Answer: The purpose of creation is to reveal the upper force that governs us. To understand and attain why we exist, what is happening with us, who is leading us by the nose, and where we are being taken.

That is what we need to reveal—to open our eyes, in short, to where we really are.

Question: So that this thirst would be present in both of them, in a guy, in a girl, in people in general?

Answer: Yes, to reveal this need, and together with your partner, gradually move toward it.

Question: I want to ask you about tears, not children’s, but adults’. Undoubtedly, when an adult cries,  you immediately sense some depth of pain, tragedy, offense, or happiness. Adult tears immediately draw attention. You cannot remain indifferent to them. Today, I was walking down the street, and a woman passed by quietly crying. I shuddered. I wanted to ask what happened, but did not dare. And if you suddenly see a man crying, that is something entirely different. So what is it about tears?

Answer: There is a lot in tears, in general, in that internal small stress that those tears carry.

Question: So what is it that I am pouring out?

Answer: It is cleansing, a person cries it out.

Question: So one must cry it out to the end?

Answer: It is not easy. Especially for us men. It only happens sometimes when special emotional events occur, when you feel that you are finding something, but these are not women’s tears.

Question: Are men’s tears not women’s?

Answer: Absolutely not. That is where a clear boundary between men and women is revealed. So much so that a woman cannot cry for male reasons, and a man for feminine reasons. There is nothing to be done. That is why we are two, and not one unified being.

Question: But the reason for this is not just different tears. Or are the tears themselves different?

Answer: The tears are different, of course; they are different systems. Oh, how different they are! In men, it goes through the brain, and in women, it goes through the heart and womb.

Question: Seriously?

Answer: Yes. In men, it is a little through the heart but mostly through the brain. And in women, it is through the heart and primarily through the womb. It is very hard to express. But it is felt.

Question: So it goes through future birth?

Answer: Through those systems that are called male and female.

A man cries when he realizes something profound, and when that realization merges with his feelings for it. And a woman cries when it all passes through her system. After all, they are completely different people. They are from different worlds!

Question: Completely different worlds?

Answer: Of course.

Question: Then what does the union of these worlds mean? A union of these tears: male and female.

Answer: They do not unite. They unite only in the Creator when they rise above themselves in order to reveal their shared, common root. Only there can they unite, reveal the Creator, and truly reveal each one in the other.

And that is why there is this special attraction between us, this polarity of the sexes, and so on. It is a very complex system of relationships.

Question: So the real union arises there, in the Creator?

Answer: In heaven.

Question: It is all created in heaven. The true union is in heaven?

Answer: Of course.

Comment: You are not a sentimental person, but why is it that when we speak about your teacher, Rabash, I often see your eyes suddenly get wet, you become different? Different!

Answer: Nothing can be done, because the root of my soul is in him. That is why I am different.

Comment: I know a lot of teachers. Almost all of them agree on one thing: today’s generation of children has a grudge against adults.

My Response: It is natural for children to complain about their elders. They believe that everything is owed to them, and that as children they deserve special attention and treatment. In fact, this is true, on one hand.

On the other hand, we do not educate children. School does not make a human out of a child. It makes them into physicists, mathematicians, mechanics, and so on.

This is a problem of all education and upbringing. We give children some kind of education, maybe, but we do not give them upbringing. They come out of school, every day after school and generally after graduation, and they are animals.

Comment: You said a terrible thing: “They are animals.” Are we to blame for this?

My Response: Sure, if parents are busy at work all the time and children are at school and somewhere out there with each other doing who knows what, so what do you want to happen?

Comment: They are more in their smartphones.

My Response: And that is what they get from there until humanity comes to its senses and takes the whole matter into its own hands, under the strictest control that a person cannot see and hear everything that is given to him. He must be educated! An education that provides a very serious attitude to life. If this does not happen, then of course we can see where everything is heading.

Question: A generation has grown up that says terrible things to people. And we raised this generation?

Answer: Of course, it is just us.

Question: What would you say to children if you were a teacher?

Answer: Let us figure out our lives, our relationships, and how to make sure that… Well, okay, we are already old people, but the next generation is you. What should you be like to make life kind, good, confident, safe, and so on? What should we do? How can we raise such people? And we need to talk about it. We need to think about it, because our main task is to raise a person—not mathematics or physics, or anyone else.

Comment: It will not be easy to soften them up.

My Response: No, they should not be pitied. They should still realize a little bit that the world toward which everything is heading is an inhuman, cruel, mechanistic and very unpleasant world, unsuitable for existence.

Question: And will they understand this if you talk to them?

Answer: I think so.

Question: Can these children change?

Answer: Yes, but not with one conversation.

Question: So the change will happen through a series of conversations?

Answer: Even if takes a few years, what is the difference? But we have to push for it all the time.

Question: Can you tell us what the meaning of life is?

Answer: The meaning of life is to change one’s nature from receiving to bestowing, from hatred to love, from rejection to rapprochement with others. And then, through these qualities, you will feel a completely different kind of existence. It will be an opposite world.

You will find fulfillment in fulfilling others. And there will be no disappointment in that.

Comment: It would be great if a person could just—snap! — and it happened.

My Response: We will get there.

Question: I look at people. Today, anyone can post a video and talk about themselves or others. People write a lot on the internet. There are personal blogs, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, whatever you want. And in general, we all know what is happening in the world today. What kind of time are we living in now?

Answer: Our entire existence emphasizes our meaninglessness. This meaninglessness is so complete that there is absolutely nothing. That is why there is apathy.

Question: Is this the time for understanding or figuring out why I live? Has that time come now?

Answer: Yes, it is the time to realize that there is no meaning in our life. And where is it?

Question: Where is it?

Answer: It is nowhere.

Question: At the same time, everything I see is joyless, empty. So what should I do? Where is this meaning of life? Where is that something to make me come alive again?

Answer: The meaning of life lies in the fact that there is nature, vast, immense nature, and there is a thought that governs this nature, sets it in motion, and creates it.

It is this thought, this design, this great intention of nature that we must reveal. And then we will get to know the meaning of life.

Life is everything. What does “everything” mean? It is inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature. All of it has a certain meaning that lies above all of it. Meaning is what binds, organizes, and moves all of this. So we must rise above our life.

Question: Are you calling on a person to become a scientist?

Answer: Not a scientist, no. We must simply open our eyes.

Question: And understand the intention behind everything?

Answer: Yes, why nature created all of this.

Question: And what is that intention?

Answer: That is exactly what nature is pushing us toward. That is what we must reveal.

The intention is to rise above our world because this world is actually the worst of all worlds. And that is not a poetic expression. To rise above it means to discover this intention, this force, this thought, this design.

And when we attain this thought, we begin to perceive everything beyond time, beyond space, beyond everything. Then a person begins to feel himself on the level of the Creator.

Question: So what is this thought?

Answer: It is harmony. Absolute harmony among all parts of creation. It is something that we lack. And that is why by acting on us in this way, nature is driving us toward attaining that harmony.

This is what we must reveal. We cannot escape from it. We will not be able to just destroy ourselves completely or forget it. We will have to reveal and attain this harmony.

Fulfillment that comes to a person from the Creator is incomparable. If a person turns away from it, then naturally, the Creator expresses His jealousy.

Question: So the Creator is telling us: “You have no idea how much I have prepared for you, and you are wasting your love.” Is He implying that there is no earthly love?

Answer: It is given to us only so that we reach heavenly love.

Question: And to turn us toward Him, He gives us all kinds of suffering, pain, and so on?

Answer: He does not give them. He simply shows us His love, which we reject. And we experience this rejected love as suffering. That is all.

Question: So what comes from Him is only love?

Answer: Yes, and if you reject it, you yourself turn it into suffering.

Question: What should we do? What is He calling us to? After all, we do not see Him, we do not know Him, and we do not feel Him.

Answer: That does not matter. You are given the opportunity to direct yourself properly toward Him.

Question: And this, essentially, is one’s main task, the main purpose of life?

Answer: There is nothing else in nature at all.

Question: A person must turn toward the Creator and love Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But do we first need to go through earthly feelings or not?

Answer: They should help us reach connection between us and organize that connection as much as possible in the qualities of bestowal and love.

Question: Is that exactly the desire of the upper force?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will He stop being jealous then?

Answer: There is no jealousy, these are completely different levels.

Question: Yes, but we cannot express it differently. Human language calls it jealousy. Is it actually a level of love?

Answer: It is the level of absolute love.

The way you react to a child is how the Creator responds to them.

Question: So through me, the Creator responds to the child? If I live with this awareness, is that called education?

Answer: Yes, in doing so, you open channels of connection between the child and the Creator.

Question: Through me, the Creator connects with the child? Am I supposed to open the Creator to the child?

Answer: Yes.

Comment: That is an incredible responsibility!

My Response: It is as if you are introducing them to each other.

Question: Beautiful! Tell me, should this awareness come to the parents even before the child is born?

Answer: In general, yes. We have spoken about this more than once.

Question: We have, but we have a million questions after that. For people, this is not just interesting, it is vital. But actually, we never said it quite the way you just did: “I open a channel for the child through myself.”

After such a warm and loving upbringing, how is the child supposed to go out into such a cold world?

Answer: If the child perceives the world correctly, then they will have no problem. They will feel the world is multi-layered, at least as themselves, their parents, their home, etc., and strangers. They will know how to relate all of it correctly.

Question: Does that mean the parents succeeded in bringing the Creator to the child?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is your opinion on the claim that there is a suicide gene? They say American scientists have identified 22 suicide-related genes. Does this gene really exist? Do you believe it has an effect?

Answer: As far as a gene, I do not know, I am not an expert in that field. But a predisposition to it certainly exists. The Japanese have it, and there are other peoples and tribes, or historical periods when it appears, and so on.

Question: And how can one supposedly overcome this predisposition or gene?

Answer: With the meaning of life.

Question: Meaning? Only the search for meaning?

Answer: Only that. What else is there? The meaning of life and its correct realization are leading you to a new life even now. You do not need to die or imagine anything. You can see your future world already in this life. It is right in front of you; it only depends on the correct realization.

Question: Can you tell us what the meaning of life is?

Answer: The meaning of life is to change one’s nature from receiving to bestowing, from hatred to love, from rejection to rapprochement with others. Then within these qualities, you will feel an entirely different form of existence. It will be an opposite world.

You will find fulfillment in the act of fulfilling others. And in that, there will be no disappointment.

Comment: It would be wonderful if a person could really live like that!

My Response: We will reach that.

Comment: The mysterious Japanese soul is very different from the European one. Their sages are very different from European ones and so is their wisdom. If possible, please comment on some sayings of Japanese sages.

“It is better to be the enemy of a good person than a friend of a bad one.”

My Response: That is true; it is more beneficial for you. You can learn a lot from a good person. But being a friend of a bad one is certainly the worst.

Comment: “Whoever strongly wants to rise upward invents a ladder.”

My Response: Yes. He will find a way to rise.

Comment: “Husband and wife should be like the hand and the eyes: when the hand hurts, the eyes cry, and when the eyes cry, the hands wipe the tears.”

My Response: Beautiful!

Question: “The sun does not know the righteous. The sun does not know the unrighteous. The sun shines not with the goal of warming anyone.” Is that so?

Answer: It all depends on how you look at it. It is all relative to a person—with a goal or without a goal.

Question: But if we speak of the warmth of the Creator emanating from Him, is there really no purpose?

Answer: It is all absolutely thought out and foreseen in advance. Based on the final goal, the final state, all the intermediate states come to us and move us toward that goal.

Comment: “Even if a sword is needed only once in a lifetime, you must carry it always.”

My Response: Yes, that is true. Precisely because you always carry it, you will be ready to use it that one time in life.

Comment: “Grief, like a torn garment, should be left at home.” But a person cannot help but show grief.

My Response: It is a cultural attitude toward the world, toward life, meaning nothing will shake me.

Comment: “When there is love, smallpox scars are as beautiful as dimples on the cheeks.”

My Response: Yes, love smoothes out absolutely everything. “Love covers all transgressions.”

Comment: “No one stumbles while lying in bed.”

My Response: Best of all is to lie down.

Comment: “Yield the road to fools and madmen.”

My Response: Yes, that is true. Because others may understand you, but these ones will not.

Comment: “When parents work and children enjoy life, the grandchildren will beg for alms.”

My Response: That is true. Children must not be given anything for free. You have to push them with all your strength toward acquiring a profession and mastering life, so that while you still exist, they are already building themselves. That is what love for children means.

Question: For you, does God exist?

Answer: There is a Creator for me. It is the one who created everything, including you, and wants you to fulfill your purpose.

Question: What is it?

Answer: Your purpose is to reach His level, to become similar to Him. That is why a person is called “Adam” from the word “Domeh” – “similar” to the Creator.

Question: Then again, similar to what?

Answer: To the Creator.

Question: And what does that mean? What is that quality?

Answer: It is the quality of bestowal, the quality of creation, the quality of governing all the worlds. This is the state a person must attain.

Question: Anyone in our world?

Answer: Absolutely everyone!

Comment: It is mind-boggling!

My Response: But you will come to it, whether you want to or not.
