How do we examine ourselves to check whether or not we are coming closer to God? Also, what do we examine ourselves in relation to?
In our world, we were given the ability to feel our egoistic attitude to others, naturally wishing to initially benefit ourselves, and at their expense, if necessary.
Do we then want to use others for self-benefit alone, or do we want to use ourselves to benefit others? It can be one or the other.
In other words, by examining ourselves in this way, we will sustain ourselves.
How, then, do we use what is inside of us right now to benefit others? At every given moment, our lives need to be a gradual correction of becoming more and more like the Creator—a pure attitude of love and bestowal—until we completely and fully observe the law of “love your neighbor as yourself,” i.e., with our entire heart and mind.
