SPIRITUAL READINGS WITH VALERIY SINELNIKOV: "Leo Tolstoy on the Greatness of the Human Soul. The Path of Fire". Chapter - The Illusion of Personality. I and Not - I.

The Mystery of Consciousness. Part 29

Dear friends, I continue to read the book "The Path of Fire" for you and reflect on the lines. Join us! Have a good day everyone! Spiritual conversations allow you to deeply and comprehensively understand various aspects of life, expand your horizons, and realize new knowledge. I continue reading the book The Path of Fire. Today we are talking about the importance of taking responsibility for yourself, about the fact that life is a great blessing! A blessing that our parents gave us!

Selfishness is either a great delusion and a source of evil, or a great truth and a source of good. It is a source of evil when it relates to the personality, and a source of good when it relates to the spiritual principle, the manifestation of which constitutes human life.

The error of all of us, people not brought up religiously, is the same: first life for ourselves, for our lusts, our bodies, then, as a correction to this, life for the good (again, bodily good) of people, and then an appeal to an external (outside ourselves) god, and again dissatisfaction and disappointment. And yet now the work of life seems so obvious and simple to me that you are surprised (now) how you could walk around for so long without seeing it.

To live means: desiring good, to move forward somewhere (an involuntary idea of ​​time). At first it is natural (children) to desire this good for yourself, your body and the lusts that flow from it, then, when you see vanity, dissatisfaction and the inevitability of the end - death, you seek salvation in expanding the object for which you desire good (love prompts), and service to people appears. Then it becomes clear that if the earthly happiness of one Lev Nikolaevich is not worth a penny, then the happiness of billions of Lev Nikolaeviches is worth just as little, and then you try to see if it is possible to love the one who is the source, the beginning of all these beings. But it is impossible to love someone you do not know and to whom you do not feel attraction. And it turns out that there is no point in living, but you have to live out your life while you can. And by the way, how simple.

At the very first stage, when I realized that loving my body and improving it, and satisfying its desires is futile and stupid, I should not have abandoned myself, but only understood myself - who is the real me. And, having understood this, transfer all the love that I felt for the physical self to this – the spiritual, and all the work, all the efforts that I put into improving this self and satisfying its desires, put it into improving the spiritual self – freeing it from everything that hides it, satisfying its desires, and instead of disappointment, there is more and more charm, and not charm, but calm, firmness and joy.
