one." I repeat that meditation is a tool, and who sincerely wants to reach spiritual heights<br />

and is not lazy to develop himself, he can understand the maximum already during this<br />

life.<br />

<strong>Anastasia</strong>: This is all true. But I faced a situation when a lot of people instead of not<br />

losing valuable time and rushing to change themselves, look for an example of a<br />

spiritual person in life, in other words, someone who has already changed himself. For<br />

them, it is important that some person were already living like this, according to the<br />

spiritual canons and the way of thinking. And not somewhere out there, but here, in the<br />

same conditions as they do. For many, this is significant. Such people believe that if they<br />

behold such an example, it will mean that they will be able to live like that.<br />

Rigden: I have already said that imitation and associative thinking is a peculiar<br />

characteristic of man. But it is more important to become Man yourself and not to waste<br />

valuable time looking for someone who aspires to do the same. Man, as a Personality,<br />

will be of a much better use to himself and to the society when he becomes an<br />

example for others. Working on his internal problems, overcoming the obstacles of his<br />

own Animal nature, and at the same time living for the people and for the good of<br />

people, man paves his own path. All in the hands of man. His desire and aspiration are<br />

not dependent on the external factors of life. For some reason, people live in the illusion<br />

that someone should come to lead them, do everything for them, and only then they will<br />

all be able to live happily. Everyone is waiting for a leader from the outside. But man,<br />

just like society as a whole, should not focus on the external material, but should rather<br />

be guided <strong>by</strong> the inner spiritual. There is a parable in this connection that tells the story<br />

of the happiest and the richest man.<br />

"In one village, there lived a Man. He stood out among people because, although he<br />

lived in poverty, he lived with joy, always selflessly helping others doing what little he<br />

could — sometimes with a word, and sometimes with a deed. There were rumours that<br />

when he was alone, he praised God, sincerely thanked Him for the rich gifts He had<br />

favoured him with. An eminent priest heard of these rumours. The priest decided to visit<br />

the Man to find out from him, for which rich gifts he praised God. The priest came to the<br />

shab<strong>by</strong> shack, where this poor man lived, and said,<br />
