Spiritual Occupation
Michael Laitman
One who begins on the path
Does not know and is unable to
know
What states he is in
He is like a baby who has no
understanding
Of the world he was born into.
But he studies,
And slowly slowly he learns
Like a small child who grows up
And receives all kinds of
impressions
That accumulate in him,
internally.
And like learning any trade,
One who comes to learn carpentry
He does not know what it is
But he is told: This is a tree.
He is shown that this tree has to be cut
This way or that,
And be glued this way
Or that way.
The tools he has to work with
What glue to use,
And what nails to use.
He learns this material
And what he can do with it,
And how it responds.
And he begins to receive inside him
all kinds of impressions,
Impressions from the material
that he works with.
The same thing with spirituality,
We work with ourselves,
Each one with himself,
To start feeling
How he responds
And why he responds.
What are his natural reactions
And how he could possibly change
His reactions and control them,
And how they control him.
How society can help him,
Toward whom he should change his
reactions.
Who should he become like
And who should he distance
himself from,
So as not to copy
Their traits.
How to advance toward the ideal
form,
And what is the ideal form,
Where one is called “man”.
Therefore spiritual education
Is called “education of forms”
Since this is where one learns
How to add to himself
the attribute of bestowal.
