To achieve perfection, to live more completely than before, and fundamentally change the way of life. If a person is sincerely trying to follow the spiritual path, then he can not change their way of life. Unable to rise up and live as before - lazy, bustling, wrong. Restructuring lifestyle pupil or even a candidate for the disciples are commanded to all the esoteric teachings of the world. All bothersome, chaotic, dark, must be firmly rejected. And vice versa - all acts, deeds, decisions of the student must be subordinate to the new principles, ideas and approaches. What should refuse such a candidate? From very much.
First, from the superfluous and unnecessary cases, many conventions and acts, which are committed by men, because it is so accepted in society.
Secondly, from indolence, sloth, mindless inactivity, which tends to a large number of people. Laziness is incompatible with the path of ascent, challenging and will.
Thirdly, from the hustle and unnecessary haste accompanying behavioral style of many people, immersed in a debilitating rhythms of modern civilization. The victory over the bustle and outside, and inside himself - one of the most important tasks that must decide the spiritual disciple of the XXI century.
Fourthly, many bad habits and pleasures, a devastating effect on the human body and thin structures, and called in the religious and esoteric systems enemies spiritual disciple.
The list of actions and deeds, from which the student has to give, may be much longer - I mention only the most common and obvious things. Decide on such a drastic change is very scary - people are most afraid of the unknown. She is frightened not only the man himself, but also relatives and friends of people who surround him. Because not only did they lose a companion to a secular communion, idleness, idle, and idle talk, vanity, drinking, smoking. The man himself, who took the spiritual path, it becomes in their eyes, flawed and inferior beings, sectarian, hermit, untenable in worldly affairs, success in which they measure the value of any rights.
Not all people respond to changes in lifestyle of their fellow calm, positive or neutral. Their negative attitude is summed up in the general psychological field, which presses on the student and the influence on him in the direction of a return to standards. "Be like everybody else, leave quickly their stupidity" - that's the essence of this influence, it is sometimes so powerful that people will break.
The more persistently and will be a candidate for the students to defend their right to a different lifestyle, the more precious energy, so necessary for the ascent, he will save. It is not that he always argued that right through a direct confrontation, controversy and scandals that make co-existence simply unbearable. Much more important is the silent and stubborn behavior that preserves around the student's field of calm, positive emotions and mental health, despite all attempts to absorb the upstart medium, to level it with his gray and chaotic background.
