Question: You said that you managed to practically attain
a certain spiritual level. Would you elaborate on this, please?
Answer: In Sanskrit there is the word polomi that means “to reach
the other bank”. I can say that the other bank is reached. There was a moment when
I felt that I had reached the other bank and buried the boat’s bow into the sand.
But the current could still carry the boat away if water raised or wind started
blowing. Then there was a moment when the boat was already drawn onto the bank and
thus it could not be carried away anymore. But what lies ahead is the construction
of a house on that bank — and the completion of this task will constitute the end
of the Path. But the house is not finished yet, and there is still a large amount
of work to be done. But now I know how I have to live the remaining days of this
life.
