Man’s thought is insatiable, driven by some kind of innate instinct, it passionately rushes from one problem into another and cannot have enough. And so on and on forever, until it subdues the two-sided [single] issue: the issue of God and of man, in its essence, the all-issue, the solution of which defines the fate of man in all the worlds. You are rushing after man’s secret? And what have you came across? Of course – terrible precipices, where both your mind and your heart and your conscience get broken into pieces. Oh! Through what darkness and through what precipices leads the way to the truth about man! Here the thought goes crazy because of pain, of anguish, of groaning, as if you have stepped into an endless hell, where weeping and gnashing of teeth reign. And all this shall continue until such time that after all these darknesses and precipices you shall not find the Cherubim essence of the human being – God. Thus you would have stepped on the path of light, leading to a perfect solution to all the major problems of human being in all lives. To All the Weak, the Feeble, and the Little Ones (like me) [С нами Бог] With love dedicated to M., and to M. Know that: /you better come to realize that:/ - You do what your father does - all the worthy things he does - you do, too! - You need only remember him with GRATITUDE every night and every crisis (at least) - and all his sweetness, strength, and riches - are yours (for the asking). [I hear some of you saying they know not their father! - They may well not know him - but their heart does! So you, too: ] You just listen: - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... You hear out (again and again): - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... And you experience: - GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ ... At first it seems [as if] you were giving thanks - No! The second or the third time around you already know Who the Giver of all is - all you have to do is attune your heart, and let it FEEL the GRATITUDE /БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ/ - and you experience the downpour of all mercies, goods (kindness), and all the merits of the Giver of all (ВСЕПОДАТЕЛЯ Христос) Christ - Who gives everything - TO ALL - hears everything and first responds to GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ... And – yes! – you do what your Father does! With heart-felt GRATITUDE / БЛАГОДАРЕНИЕ... what used to be nothing more but mimicking or 'play' is all too real! You are still weak, feeble and little but you really do what your Father does! Слава Богу за все! С нами Бог! Glory be to God for everything! The Lord is with us!
