What is life? The Holy Scriptures of God clearly answer this question on its first page: And the Lord God created man from the dust of the ground, and breathed into his face the breath of life, and man became a living soul [1].

Do you understand well the meaning of the words "indirectly" and "directly"? Indirectly, that is, through the earth, the Lord created flesh, and directly from Himself He breathed into his face the spirit of life. Thus man became a living soul.

Thus, man is visibly bodily, but the body has within it the breath of life, which is directly from the Creator.

This spirit connects a person with the Creator and with the heavenly spiritual world around Him. A small flame like the eternal Divine flame. And although our body drags on the earth among insects and beasts, we are connected with heaven and eternity by this flame.

The life of the soul, which is led and lived by the Divine Spirit, is what human life is.

In other words, spiritual life is an unceasing work in order to become worthy of the Divine Spirit that is in us. Why should we work? Because we have received a gift from the Creator. None of us bought it or paid for it; it is given to us by Eternal Love. There is no payment for the gift. A gift is a gift. But he who accepts a gift, and such a precious gift as life, must show himself worthy of this gift.

How we can respond to the Lord's love with love and how we can become worthy of this Divine gift – this is the great science called spiritual science, which is above all sciences. It is given to man by the Holy Spirit. He Who gave the most precious gift, Himself taught man to be worthy of it.

If you wish to penetrate into this bright and sweet science, blessed be your desire.

Peace be upon you and joy from the Lord.

Letter 2

a person who believes in God but does not pray to Him

Work and strengthen your faith. Over time, you will feel the need for prayer. As long as your faith is weak and does not force you to pray.

We watched how a weak stream of water fell on the wheel of the watermill and the wheel remained motionless; When the water arrived, the wheel moved.
