Recently I’ve had several meetings, phone calls, which made me change my views on my life, particularly on the relationships with other people.

 I started thinking deeply about it after the 4th level of the Eastern Psychology, where we were talking about friendship. The ability to be a friend precedes the ability to love. The real friend is someone, who feels friendliness towards everyone and who doesn’t increase our ego, on the contrary, he helps us to reduce it.

I told some stories, which happened to me last month.

 
1.  Our friends have visited us recently – a family with 4 children, that lives nearby. They are very mellow and pleasant, on a rather high spiritual level. I gave them my book in English “Ten steps to happiness”. The head of the family opened it, read a couple of ideas, which he liked very much. He congratulated me with the release of the book in Canada, wished me every success and to distribute over 300 000 copies of it. Then he stopped, looked at me and added very attentively: “But don’t become proud of yourself.” He told it very sincerely and inspired me very much.
