Is Life a Waste of Time?

One’s soul develops gradually under the influence of the Surrounding Light. Needless to say it takes much more time, more strength, and more states than in our life. It takes twenty years for one’s soul to mature, to understand where, what, and why he exists, to somehow get to know how to work with himself, with the others, to hold himself somehow, to maintain and support his existence. It is even more so in the spiritual. When the Light develops us on a higher level that is absolutely different in the qualitative sense, in that case, naturally, our entrance to a different state requires, not twenty years, but a much-much longer time and groundwork that is already done for us.
