- What is development? Who are those who become developed? Who those who become degraded?

 - Look at the people around and you will see that in youth, when energy is abundant, everyone is full of lively emotions, of happiness. At this age people make plans for the life, their eyes are full of hope and their soul very frequently is filled with state of bliss! Children do not have to make any effort in order to be happy! The growing organism provides all that is necessary for happiness; in facts, up to 30 years of age, the resource given to humans by nature make it so that they have a pleasant and even mountain climb!

Exactly at this age people fall under to the influence of society and its illusory values, which only take their strength away without giving it back. Society shapes the ‘means’ of happiness, forcing them into the material forms of this transient world.

Internal happiness and harmony in the soul start depending on achievements as, for instance, the presence of children, a partner and other material values, which transform humans  into “zombies” trying to match up with this sick society’s standards. 

But where does this lead?

Education - attaining which one spends the best years of his life - proves senseless and unable to bring financial reward. The partner, who according to plans should have loved you forever and die the same day as you, finds another "beloved". Children become simply stranger with their own interests and plans for their life.

All material values – according to God’s plans - sooner or later must be destroyed:

God plays a game with man by firstly giving him something and, holding it back, He watches him attentively: has he become attached to these possessions?  Is he be able to accept life’s experience with appreciation or will he grieve for the rest of his life a broken toy? Thus, in the pursuit of happiness, humans chose to take a long journey in the world of illusions in order to flatter themselves and the world, and then again make mistakes, falling into the pit of suffering!!

…Next to the fire - as to confirm the words of the wise man - a fanny dog was jumping, clicking his teeth loudly in the attempt of catching the night butterflies flying in the light of the fire. After play for a long time, he started to try to catch his own tail totally oblivious to the fact that somewhere in the world many people were suffering: some because offended by their country, others because offended for their country, - others by being burnt by jealousy and others, again, by being in pain because of feelings of guilt. In spite of all this, the dog was totally happy and did not have any feeling of debt either for those killed in war or for those giving their life for him in this very moment. Screaming with pleasure, he was insolently glad of his life! We observed the happy manifestations of "red booby".

The Teacher tossed some fir branches in the fire, and these flared up as bright drops and shed light on all of us, who were attentively concentrating both on not missing even one word and on paying attention to the wise man’s emotions.

He continued: - After spending all their energy in attempting to prove their "normality” to this sick society human beings start feeling that their energy becomes increasingly less and less. And if earlier any small thing could produce an explosion of laughter – because energy in the growing organism is abundant enough to keep the state of happiness for long - after 30 humans begin to experience more and more the depletion and shortage of their vital forces. This shows that at this age starts the gradual ageing of humans’ physiological and mental processes. How many people become gloomy after 40! They live immersed in negative emotions, with their body broken by laziness and harmful habits!

Where is the state of happiness of their twenties gone? Where is their happiness and cheerful laughter? Where has all this gone?! 

They lost it because they did not know how to preserve it, they did not realize in advance what nature, God, had given them! 

THEY WERE NOT DEVELOPED AND WERE NOT ACCUSTUMED TO THE CHANCE GIVEN TO THEM BY THE HIGHEST!!

In order not to become like this, you must develop!!!

---------

- How not to forget what you are saying now? How to develop?

…The flame lit the face of Teacher and it seemed to us that in front of us was standing a man God, the most sincere and closest of friends as well as, at the same time, the infinite wisdom of the universe …..

- Look, do you want to be ill? If not, you must be more physically engaged, develop your physical body, conduct a healthy life. If you do not do this, you will be ill.

You may think: “I will find partner, I will obtain a higher education, give birth to a couple of children and these will make me healthy.” Will the partner do some physical activity in you place? Will higher education help you to keep your body healthy? Or will the energy of children, who, by the way, require enormous investments, protect you from diseases?

Certainly no! Without your personal efforts no one will make you happy and your body healthy!  

Think:

* Do you want to suffer constantly from stress, negative emotions, identifications, fuss and any other nonsense? Do you think that the world, in which you live, will make the efforts of feeling positive emotions for you?

*Did you pass your examinations on prayer in your school?

* Were are in your institutions the subjects, which train you in believing in God’s help and not putting your hands down in front of obstacles?

* Probably, you passed ten times an examination on "What is the meaning of life?"

* Were are you threatened by teachers of not passing on to the next year because of not passing on the subject "Senseless happiness"?  - …No?!

* Can here be a partner able constantly cultivate holy feelings in any situation instead of you?

* Will he believe in success in your place?! … Negative answer?

Then you must develop your soul and cultivate by yourself a strong state  so to live in the bliss of God, in happiness !

This kind of effortless development is, however, impossible!

Do you not want to be foolish? No? Then you must develop your mind, become clever, more conscious so that you do not turn into the  foolish person, this sick society wants you to become.

*What do training institutions develop in people?

* How do your teachers develop your brain the? Did they teach you how  to think? 

- From all abilities of the brain - intuition, art creation, logic, consciousness, memory – your teachers developed only one, memory, and this because this is the one that more easily makes zombies out people!

Human beings do not make the right choice in love, because the ability of selecting a partner correctly is hampered in the process of education!

Therefore out of 100 % of all marriages the 96^th % are unhappy. More people perish in families than in the aviation and car crashes – it is a huge catastrophe!

86% of people on earth suffer with of gynaecological and urinary tract diseases. 80%!!! of all the students in secondary schools  are chronically sick!

Why?!

- Because people on the Earth do not have Knowledge!!!

And, in addition, because when the time comes to make a choice in life, humans follow the advice of the majority.  

Think,

* Were your parents healthy? Could they be happy in their relationship? Were they rich? No? Why then do you follow their advice? To live as they lived?!  Why should we follow the ways of the majority?!

We won’t live like this!!!

…the Teacher exclaimed, and, as to confirm His words,  a log cracked by the fire broke into two halves. A bright wave of sparks exploded after lighting up  and shed light on  all those sitting there. 

This call from the  Master literally shook us up, and made us want to shout to all the world:

- We won’t be zombie! We won’t be dull machines, which repeat foreigner mistakes! We will learn to think! We will strive for happiness! We will train our bodies! Our life will become happy because we have a Teacher. 

The Master continued:

- Therefore, it is very important to make the correct choices in life. Indeed you will not be able to be healthy, you will not be able to be happy, if you do not have Knowledge, and if you don’t have mind!  

Who will teach you:

* What is “kindness" and what is "evil"?

* Which partner is the best for you?

* What work is appropriate for you?

* In which direction to strive?

This people do not know - and even the most perfect computer tests cannot determine – man’s the spiritual destination, his path throughout the centuries.

This can be done only by the one, who has himself REACHED and GOT TO KNOW THE TRUTH!

The path of development is not possible without the Teacher.

…For a while we sat, fearing to break the harmony and happiness that had spread in each cell of body! Crickets chirred, and  the mysterious sounds of the forests in the night surrounded us from all sides. The Teacher, after taking a small twig of juniper, rolled it in between the fingers and inhaled the resinous-spicy aroma of the tree.  

After deciding to break the silence, a student said:

- People justify themselves by saying that once a year they come to seminars. They call this development, is it right? It is necessary to compare myself with other people? 

… When he began to give his answer the face of Teacher shone with the light of love and care

- It is useless to compare yourselves with other people, as each person on Earth has an initial capital of ‘talents’ and a speed of development. Whereas someone can unfold the ability of clairvoyance in a week of spiritual practices, others cannot do it even in ten years. Someone may not be able to understand what I am talking about in the whole of their life time, whereas someone else may catch every single word at the speed of lightening, materializing immediately this knowledge in their reality.

Therefore to compare with others is useless. If you want to compare at all you should compare yourself with your past self.  

Recall how you were one month,  one year ago and ask: "How much time did I spend on yoga? Dancing? Running?"

If you see that if before you were lazy, did not exercises, did not dance and did not run, whereas now you do all this with pleasure,  this means that you develop your physical body, that you are growing.

Then ask yourself: "How long time did I spend on stress management? How do I overcome disappointments in life?"

Perhaps before managing a stressful situation, you needed to get into a depression or, on the contrary, into a state of aggression for a long time.

And now, with the help of practices of Guru Pfaski you meditate on the “black point”, you breathe, you drink water, so that what before caused disappointment now caused only laughter!

You can now notice the mechanical reactions of people with sick soul and you no longer yield to their bad influence!  

Now you ask yourself: "How often did I ask for the Teacher’s advice before? Did I not have the possibility of asking questions from the One, who KNOWS EVERYTHING?! How often before did I make the right choice?"

You can compare now and see in practice how many of your questions have been answered successfully, and what kind of disappointments and sufferings you can now avoid in your life!

Thus, check yourself on three levels, on three centres: "Do I make all efforts for development? Have I improved myself?"

1. On the motor centre - physical development,

2. On the emotional centre – more and more frequent state of happiness

3. In intellectual centre - you notice the efforts, which the Teacher helps you to sustain in your life by giving you Knowledge.  

...Our minds expand from the wisdom obtained! Is the space, which before was full of ignorance now free? I remember those who in this world do not want to face reality and whose life is lead in fraud and conditioning! I remember, that my parents could not look each other in the eyes: they were constantly agree, hated each other, but said:  "We live for you!" Your mother would say that she had sacrificed her personal life for me, your father that he had sacrificed his career for the family.

What?! All my childhood I had seen unhappy people next to me and had God not given me the chance of meeting the Teacher, I could have just as well repeated exactly their fate! People are born because of conditioning, and live depending on conditioning, prisoners of conditioning, and then they die because of realising that someone else has created this conditioning for them.   

- How to teach people to see the truth?

- In order not to be afraid of truth, it is necessary to understand that lies are terrible!

People should intensely dislike lies, get tired of suffering and of repeating the same mistakes over and over again. When the sufferings of the soul will ‘overfill the cup’ people will have the possibility, after praying, to ask God for help! If their prayer is sincere, the Highest will give them the chance of meeting the Knowledge, and will give them the Teacher too!

Indeed, by deceiving themselves, people live in lies and, from this, all misfortunes come. Someone lost in the forest would not think:

"I’m lost! Everything is good and normal!" but, instead, he would say: "I am lost, I am at a deadlock, I do not know the way out, my path…" 

He will think how to leave the forest as soon as possible.

It is necessary to search fast for the meeting with the truth, so that you stop deceiving yourself, leave the gloom, in which your sick society immersed!!  

- Many people think: "Let me first build my business, to realize myself socially, and then, when I am successful in the material world, I will attempt to succeed spiritually." Is this right?

…The Teacher observed this fact, as sparks from the fire raised to the sky carrying his prayers, and disappeared in the silent harmony of the universe.... Having sighed deeply, the Teacher, simultaneously God and man, had seen the truth amongst all illusions and crooked mirrors of the world. He said: - In order to achieve success, man must always place God in the first place, and follow the way of spirituality. Ignorant people have divided the world into only material or only spiritual world. Going home after a seminar, they keep on living as beggars, without attempting to use Knowledge.

This is a mistake! After each seminar people must become wealthier and happier. To do the contrary would follow the Cosmic law that what you return is yours, what you hide is lost". If man thinks that the material world is more important, sooner or later he will be will forced to think "Is this right?"  

How will he be able to achieve success in the social world:

* If he does not have the qualities, characteristic of strong people.

* If he does not know his way.

* If he does not know how to govern other people. 

Spirituality indicates that someone becomes clever. How can anyone achieve success when he is foolish? This is impossible! It is, thus, necessary to first grow into a smart man, go by the spiritual way, and only then he will achieve social success.

"First of all go to God and then God will give you everything you should have!"

-------

…The time of Holy Darshan came to the end. The Teacher joined His hands in the gesture of "Namaste" and we, imitating the Master’s actions, sang with him the holy Mantra, which spread echoing from all the surrounding mountains of Altai... It seemed wise that these ancient mountains should echo our request of help and blessings from Shri Guru Alid Pfaski Natva, who with love and bliss lights up our highest "I"... After bowing down, we absorbed with each fibre of our soul and with each cell of our body the universal sound "AUM", with which the Teacher blessed us. Upon raising we open our eyes and saw that the wise man was waving His hands and that, precisely at the that time, an enormous bird lifted  from the earth and flew into the sky with wide strokes of its strong wings. He soon disappeared above the tips of ancient pine trees and amongst the stars together with the sparks from the fire…..

For a long time we were speechless. When the fire slowly faded, turning into a heap of magic, sparkling coals, we rose and said a holy prayer of thanks to God for having granted us the Highest Guide on this difficult and intricate path that is our life.

We felt waves of energy come from our body; a head free from thoughts could perceive thousands of details in the surrounding world: the rustle of leaves under people’s feet, the smell of the forest, the sound of an eagle-owl and that of the wind blowing in between the branches of the trees. Our soul was filled with the same great state of happiness I had experienced a long time earlier, in my childhood!

We walked along the path shown to us by God...

IN THE NAME OF FATHER AND SON AND THE HOLY SPIRIT! AMEN'

Now close your eyes and feel the state of blessing and the power of love of the Darshan! Stay in this state for a few minutes and look back at the sheet where the prayer of the two teachers for you is kept.  

Answer of Guru Pfaski for question of student: - I knew one very honest and good person, whose house suddenly burned. Everything burnt with it:  his things, money and documents. You teach us that diseases and suffering are the lessons of God. However, for what reason would God give a lesson to this kind man respected by every one?"

Very often we consider someone a good, kind and responsive..., but God has His criteria. For example, God sees that in reality this man secretly envies someone or has evil, vindictive or deceitful desires. All these pleases God very little, even if we believe   that someone is ‘good’. God is correct and true, man cannot see with the same eyes of God. Therefore, do not be surprised, if a good person, according to your criteria, starts making God angry, as this indicates that in his soul this person harbours something bad”.
