Question: When we begin to feel shame and disgust for false pleasures, is this a gift from the Creator or is it the result of our efforts, a sign of some progress?

Answer: In general, this is the result of our bad actions. Therefore, we need to be filled with such pleasure that we can address to the Creator.

Question: But if we see that these are false pleasures; for example enjoying praise; if we feel shame and disgust at the same time, how should we relate to it?

Answer: Maybe this is not true. I must check my feelings in connection with the Creator: I receive pleasure and at the same time I feel distanced from the Creator, or I receive pleasure and feel closer to Him.
