.A few weeks ago, I was supposed to make a presentation for a gathering of friends, however, didn’t know it was my turn. So my friends reached out to me and reminded me and said that the meeting would start in 30 minutes. At that point, my thoughts were focused on them. Thinking about what to prepare for them. The feeling was tense.
1- Why would the Creator put me in that sort of situation where all my thoughts were about them?
2- what work can I do to always be in that kind of feeling and thought?
I have been going through disturbances. At a point where I think that perhaps the Creator doesn’t want me to continue with this path. Because everything was rigid for me. I tried to think of my friends but to no avail. But I still kept on thinking about their spiritual growth. I kept struggling to be in the group.
As I was reading an excerpt from Rabash, a feeling popped up… For me to apply this commandment of, “Love thy friend as thyself,” I must know exactly what I want. I have been worried and wanting to know exactly what I want so that I can aim correctly. I feel restless.1- what work can I do to know exactly what I want so that I can work correctly?  Because I am tired of just thinking about them. I want to feel it and making it their aim. I am tired of walking around the cycle. I want to know exactly what I want so that I can bestow to my friend.
I have also be in that kind of a situation. This is the moment where you truly need to give the friends the importance of the goal.
If my friends are my other vessels, and if I see a flaw amongst my friends, for example, He speaks for too long or maybe he think he knows too much, are these flaws? Where do I place the correction? Or my friends are just like a mirror to attaining adhesion with the Creator?
I don’t know if i formulate the question well.
Concerning love and connection of friends
Sorry to use this example. Very important at this moment.
In the corporeal world, a man can fall in love with a lady and the reason could be the way the lady dresses or it could be her beauty. It could be many reasons why a man can fall in love with a lady. Their beauty attracts us to them and sooner or later we have some kind of coupling or intimacy together.
. In spirituality, what attract me to the friend? And is intimacy another word for connection?
. Does love precede intimacy?
