Detachment and Leadership



On the path of discipleship it is not our enemies that hinder our progress but our so-called friends and close ones who are related to us on personality levels. This is why on the path of discipleship one must continuously exercise the virtue of detachment and learn to build distances between those who are in some way related to us.
Sometimes such a detachment reveals the true nature of our "friends" and gives us the possibility to help them and ourselves on the path of discipleship. Too much closeness does not give us the opportunity to see each other as we are, or we can be flattered and bribed by our friendship and not tae needed actions to bring each other to our senses.
As one advances on the path of discipleship, he gradually decreases personality relationships and increases soul relationships, which are nothing else but service for the Plan of the Hierarchy and the Teaching. Discipleship takes us to the path on which we no longer seek personal relationships but only relationships in service.
