The Beginning of the Path

Every man searches for the meaning of life. If it is impossible to get oriented in the entire space, a man chooses a simple purpose – to build a house, to plant a tree, to raise children… That is wonderful; this is also the purpose which gives a sense to life. But is it the right one? Is it the true purpose of life, the true meaning of life? Seemingly, to many people this doesn’t seem to be the true meaning. They feel deep in their hearts that a man is a personality, either creating or destroying. The new meaning is being formed, but it is very difficult to perceive and realise what it truly means to a man. We are repeatedly trying to say that a man must follow the path of spiritual development. But what kind of path is it?

How can we follow it and where does it lead to? Since it is not clear what happens after a man dies, in the afterlife, it remains unclear where the path of spiritual development leads to. And then a man relies on his own imagination, on his own experience and life, and tries to join the path which is indicated by great spiritual teachers. There is a great number and variety of them. Every culture and religion has its own spiritual teachers. If you are not able to orientate in space and universal laws, nothing else can be done but keeping “following in other’s footsteps”. But this is only the beginning of the path. When a man understands the labyrinths of his own life, when he realises what is happening with him, he starts to form his own path. And this path leads to the Divine Wisdom. This is the true path. Just every man has to realise and find this path individually, going through his own experiences and self-questioning. Nobody will take him by his hand and lead to the “mountain of the beacon of happiness”. This walk is based on your own permanent self-development, observing feelings, thoughts and your own behaviour. To learn to notice when you are engaged in social life and when you live your own life. Social life is not public show, entertainment or political life. This is daily life, full of routine and constant repeating events. A daily routine. Personal life is when you yourself are responsible for every minute you spend.You behave in the way you think is wise, good and pleasant. You enjoy the moment and know that you can devote all day or all evening for the experiences you wish to have. And that is not selfishness or egoism. When a person lives his personal life, he will always understand other people’s wishes and pursuits, and he will perfectly adjust them with his own ones. Everything can be implemented what is in line with the Divine Wisdom – respect for another and respect for yourself. The discovery of this personal life is the purpose in this lifetime. To experience a moment in eternity. To be able to stop and suspend time, when everything around is speeding by. An experienced moment gives you sensations which you are unable to experience when you rush through daily life. This gives you fulfilment, comfort and the feeling that you are surrounded by love.
