QUESTION Spiritual practice… and money. Is there a way out? Thank you.

ANSWER OF TAYANA There is always a way out. Sometimes there exist several variants. The entrance can be a way out as well. The question contains two answers in itself. This is the position of double-dealing. Spiritual practice is a spiritual practice, money is money. But there is also a third answer. It is your life. A realized movement from moment to moment, but there are no efforts “to philosophize on the topic of…”. Pondering over it will not help. It is necessary to know oneself. Who are you and what is your place on this stage?

When you live among ordinary mundane people, it is difficult to be a saint. And the measure for sainthood is different for each person. Many people imagine that to become the very best, not like others, diverted from everything and everybody means sainthood, acknowledgement. It is a mistake.

Spiritual practice has nothing in common with selfishness and self-interest. Longing for self-development has been always peculiar to man. And on each stage of this development there exist certain obstacles. The more ignorant a man is, the more ambitions to the surroundings of his. In one work published on the site SUNHOME.RU lately, a “brave man” challenges God himself. Perhaps, the author of the verse does not believe in God. Then why should he call heaven and claim for conformity with himself? And what can be done if man was created and if God is in himself? That means that man is to blame himself for his problems. Rejecting God once, he caused to exist for the world, got lost for a long time. Spiritual practice is a work at cognizing oneself. The main thing is to learn to love in harmony with oneself and universe laws. On the pages of our site you can find some practical recommendations and techniques for carrying out this work. But you must prepare for it. Independence in choice is undesirable because it is an individual process. Consultations with an instructor are necessary.

What does practice mean for you? If what you think of as practice hurts you and your surroundings and you cannot see the light at the end of the tunnel, that means that your scheme contains a mistake, perhaps, not in the solution, but in the data.

On a definite level money is a trial too. What do you need is for? If it is a recognized necessity, you will have the money you need. If it is unlimited necessity, cannot it fail to prevent your movement forward and to blind you for the rest of your life? It happens in most cases. Money is a material side, your close contact with social sphere. To gain it you must act in a particular way that needs energy expenditures and a certain responsibility. If these conditions suit you, hold an active positions. The means of achieving an aim can be diverse, so can the results. In this case you are the master of your own fate. Everything depends on you.
