Life is a journey from imperfection to perfection. A human being lives in order to progress, to unfold their potential abilities. The more events help their development, the faster they evolve.

The same types of evolutionary factors act on all living beings. The first type is physical: the clash of forces on the physical level. The second type is mental: the clash of forces on the mental level, the level of mind and intellect. And the third type is spiritual: spiritual attraction.

  1. The person has set out on the path of knowing the infinite and sees objectively that today they are better than yesterday.
  2. The person has come to know the infinite and has reached the summit of their evolution.

Inspiration is born in the person, and they inspire everyone around them. This means they are walking the path of progress, meeting challenges and meeting them successfully.
