Comment: Einstein’s quotes are quite simple and at the same time very deep. Please comment, what exactly he means.

Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.

My Response: Only in this case can you achieve true success. It is not by comparing yourself with other people, but by comparing yourself with nature: how you can truly reveal it, know it, and be in harmony with it. To be in harmony with nature, that is the meaning of life.

If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.

My Response: There is really nothing to add here; it is so true. Not to things, of course. And not to people, because people themselves are tied to things.

That means you must detach yourself from everything, determine your upper goal, and strive only toward it. At the same time, try somehow to explain to others, to direct them toward the same goal. This is what Einstein did all his life.

The only thing that interferes with my learning is the education I received.

My Response: Any education, in principle, confines a person within certain boundaries, not letting him break free from them.

But on the other hand, you cannot do without it. Yet, you must somehow act so that education does not limit you. This is what is meant by the saying: “Train a child according to his way.” Guide him in such a way that he develops himself.

A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?

My Response: It is better to say that I am crazy. Well, what would change because of that?

Still, I believe that my “madness” will contribute something to the world, somehow shake it, someday help, leaving such a mark that people will then find it easier to reach the goal of creation.

Question: In this case, are you speaking about yourself?

Answer: Of course. How else could I speak in his place?

Comment: Let’s be honest; people consider you not crazy, but not quite reasonable, not understanding what is going on.

My Response: I do not understand what is going on? On the contrary, I am ready to talk with anyone. Politicians and scientists come through this studio.

Comment: But your proposals that we need to change man discourage them. “He cannot be changed!” they say.

My Response: Yes, they are right, by our corporeal methods. In this, I fully agree with them.

But there is another method by which man and humanity can be changed. Here, nothing can be done, we will be obliged to do it. Otherwise, on the brink of death, humanity will agree anyway.
