Sit And Do Nothing, Preferably
Do we need to add
intention to the action, or action to the intention?
Why would you do any action
if you don't have an intention? Sit and do nothing, preferably.
Act only if you see that by
doing so you can advance to the goal. Then operate yourself. When your action
is a result of an intention, no forces will be wasted in vain and everything
will be toward the eternity which you will attain. In this way, you actualize
yourself correctly.
You shouldn't do an action
and attach an intention to it; rather, do an intention and in accordance with
the intention, examine and determine the necessary action that you need to do.

The
Shame Issue
What
is shame and what is its role in the spiritual path?
The
sense of shame is essential for man in the spiritual path, so he can check himself
to see if he is equivalent or opposite to the Creator. If a person keeps sharpening
and developing the proper sense of shame-shame regarding the distinctions of
"receiving" or "bestowing," then by this he acquires a
sense through which he can always be certain that he walks and advances in the
right direction.
That
sharpness of the correct sense of shame towards the attribute of love and
bestowal can be developed only in the right environment. It is very important;
it is actually all the essence that the environment should give man-that
distinction and the ability to develop it.
