The only right way - Vadim Platun

The sooner a person realizes what is happening now, the sooner he sees where the truth is, the better his chances of not falling into such devilry, and the better his chances of salvation.

There will probably be many dissenting or confused people who have read this book. This is normal. All of us are constantly in different states of mind, different moods, different emotions, and different circumstances throughout our lives. I will speak for myself. Everything I write here came to me in moments when I was as calm as possible when I thought about nothing but the meaning of life, about death, about what will happen next. When I was in a state of complete abstraction from my day-to-day problems and the hustle and bustle of life. The same thoughts came to me in moments of deepest stress, when I was ill or severely traumatized, in difficult circumstances, after a serious illness, in times of loss and despair. Helplessness, humility, and the realization that you cannot influence the situation make you look at the world with different eyes: impartial, humble, not proud. The need to prove anything to anyone disappears. There comes the realization of the need to apologize for everything, to forgive everyone, and the desire to just live, not to prove anything. I do not think that I am something special, on the contrary, I believe, I am even sure that healthy human nature is like this for everyone. The state of the soul, mind, and body at such moments is as close as possible to the true, right state. It leads us to the right path. There comes humility, purification through suffering, or through abstraction and consciousness. And much more often a person comes to such a state through suffering, not through consciousness.

Have you ever asked yourself why? We are created in such a way that we can see the truth and the fallacy of our sinful lives in a very powerful way at a certain moment. This is the only way a person can learn and clearly realize the truth. To see the truth of our being, the essence of our Creator.

If you do not realize it on your own, it will come in severe trials. There are such trials in the life of absolutely every person who has not independently come to an understanding of God, His laws, and truth. In the end, death awaits us all — is it not a trial, the last one in life, the last test and event in this life? Why put ourselves through these trials when the truth can be felt, understood, and realized in calm circumstances? The Holy Books prescribe eternal torment in addition to suffering in this life for those who have not believed and realized even during such hardships of fate.

If a person is tempted by grief, he is more likely to turn to God; if he is successful in life and has an easy life, then he is less likely.

This book will be more easily understood by those who have had trials in their lives or are in that time. By those who, at least for a minute, have a clear understanding of the hour of our death in this world, the insignificance and finiteness, the mortality of everything that exists in it, what is the rightness, the truth. For it is said in the sacred texts that without the store of deeds that God has commanded us, all is vanity.

One must be faithful to God's covenant and not violate it (the laws of the Bible and the Qur'an). It is necessary to realize death in this life as clearly as possible and to treat everything very seriously, with fear: from one's deeds, intentions, and actions to the clear realization that there will be a resurrection and that one will be held accountable for everything one does. There is no way to avoid this judgment, just as there is no way to avoid death in this world. It is necessary to understand this, and this understanding comes to a person only when a person experiences some misfortune or a very important responsible event. Emotions, when you realize the hopelessness of the situation, also give that understanding.

But it is necessary to have this understanding even without such important events and misfortunes, it is necessary to realize every day the reality that death is inevitable, that the answer is inevitable, that the Lord God exists, and He is so great that we are infinitely far from realizing His true greatness. We need to take this as seriously as possible.

So many people have left this world in my lifetime: friends, relatives, close acquaintances. Sometimes you remember the bright moments of your life with them: how much emotion there was, how much energy, life, happiness, positivity. It seemed to be forever, endlessly, how good it was, how much goodwill and joy was with them. And now — they are gone. This reality leads us to pay attention to the infinite, to the eternal, to the spiritual.

People live as if they were immortal, with pride, with the desire to humiliate someone, to exalt themselves, to prove, directly or indirectly, their superiority, their importance. Stop for a moment and realize your insignificance in the whole ocean of creation. You were not here, and you will soon disappear, so what importance do you want to prove? Show patience in all things and humility in the face of reality. Our body is a test, it causes us to sin, to be proud, and to satisfy dirty desires. That is why it is written to hate your flesh and to curb temptation. Isn't it enough for you that man is the image of the living God? Why do you need to assert yourself and emphasize your importance?

Billions try to justify what they like, to give it meaning and eternity. Many seek
