— Many things trouble me, very much. May I tell you about my worries one by one? — Without waiting for the cleric’s answer, the hunter decided that he could. — To be frank, I don’t know what to do with my life. I work every day, but I don’t earn any more money, and the future looks bleak. Nothing new is happening, and I don’t even have time to try something fun — otherwise, where would I get the money to live? And I don’t know what the point of such a life is. I pay taxes, I work hard for the county, but in the end, I don’t have time or money for myself. What should I do?

—I understand,” Ahelsiy nodded. —It’s hard to think about spiritual purity when your stomach is empty, and hard work takes up all your time and energy. And yet, you must understand that our current life path is just a small grain of sand in the countless ocean of rebirths that the Guide grants us for the life we have lived. Those who have devoted themselves entirely to humility and patience, She will move into more worthy bodies, not deprived of means and power. But at the same time, their souls will have to fight an even greater number of various vices and sins, inaccessible to ordinary people like us. And only by overcoming all these stages of life with dignity can we finally reunite with the universe forever, thereby knowing eternal spiritual harmony and peace. Isn’t such an eternity of humble waiting worth a couple of decades?
—And as for more mundane problems,” the priest added, “whether it’s working conditions or decent pay, we are doing everything we can to help the state provide ordinary people with a decent life. This is what taxes are for, which seem so exorbitant at first glance. But for now, of course, our work is still far from complete, because not much time has passed since the enlightenment of this and many other countries began. But even now, some successes can be seen: dozens of aristocrats, enlightened by our faith, have voluntarily donated money to the well-being of the suffering, to improve living and working conditions. We just need to wait a little, and then, I am sure, your future will become much brighter, and the prospects for spiritual improvement will become even closer.
