“Yes. All the troubles and woes of men, all the illnesses arise from that dirt they have created around themselves,” said Kudai Kam. “They have lost their bond with nature, so there’s no harmony in them. Only the commune with nature can make them really happy. The dwellers of a remote village are kinder and more open people than those who live in a metropolis and don’t notice each other or anything around them.”
“Yes, you have a point, Kudai Kam,” the young man nodded. “Each time I happen to be in a big city, I see fussy, nervous and embittered people. They are always in a hurry, want to outrun each other, some are even elbowing their way. Obviously, they are cramped there together. It’s such a crush there!”
“That’s true, my friend. Here there’s a lot of space. And people rarely see each other. If you go to a forest and manage to meet somebody in ten miles, you’re lucky. People try to unite here. Because your fellow man is your possibility to survive, to support each other in the time of need. And there the people meet each other too often. There’s not enough space for them there. And each person they meet is seen not as support and help but rather as threat and danger. As stress. They are constantly rubbing against each other with their auras. They create this ‘nervous electricity’ in which the city is drowning. Therefore the people in cities create such physical and spiritual filth that they’ll all soon perish in it. They worry too much about their lower basis and forget about their soul.”
“Yeah! There are so many advertisements all over the place there that even if a person doesn’t need anything else and what he already has will last for ten years at least, he goes to a shop anyway and buys a thing for himself. It doesn’t matter if he needs it or not, he just buys it. And then it lies in his home and collects dust. He might have used it once and that’s all. He loses interest in this thing, and this is the end of it. What is this man working all the time if he wastes his salary on things he doesn’t need, I wonder? Life is passing by, he’s snowed under work, but still keeps living like that. This is ridiculous!”
“That’s a good point!” Kudai Kam smiled in approval. “People worry about the moral body too much. They forget their higher calling. Because, first of all, a person is a soul. Here, on earth it lives temporarily for its primary home is in heaven.”
“I guess, if I had lived a few years in a metropolis, away from nature, I would have become like them,” Saosh Yant gave a sudden laugh. “That’s awful! But why is it so, Kudai Kam?”
“People are blind, that’s why they tend toward geocentricism, I mean that they think their main life is within the physical body here, on earth. And that everything must revolve around its needs. This is the greatest delusion. Actually, the mortal body is just a temporary habitation for the soul. So one shouldn’t worry this much about these needs because many of them are made-up, or exaggerated, or absurd.”
“Then what are we doing here?” asked Saosh Yant in surprise. “What is all this for?”
“Here on earth, in the physical body the soul gets the experience it cannot get in heaven, but it is needed to make its knowledge and wisdom complete. Here it gets to know ignorance, suffering and different limitations living in the very heavy and uncomfortable physical body. All or most of the negative experience that it can get, it gets right here on earth, incarnated in the physical body.”
“Is that suffering?”
“It’s suffering and limitations of the mind and abilities. And ignorance, being aware of one’s own helplessness. Vices and temptations. Treachery, clinging to and bereavement of things, findings and losses. Illness, infirmity, old age, physical suffering, hunger, pain. And many other things. To name but a few. You have got to know with that yourself.”
“Of course, I have. But what does it do there, in heaven?” asked Saosh Yant.
“It rests there. In heaven the soul knows everything. There is no lie there. It travels at the speed of thought. To any place, at its will. There are no earthly concerns and hardships, illnesses, senility, need for food, so the main life goes on there. There’s no physical body with its limitations, ignorance and sluggishness. And our earthly life is just its faint reflection.”
“Then it’s all doom and gloom, Kudai Kam?” the young man asked sadly.
