Let us suppose that a person wanted to undergo surgery. After speaking with the doctor, he asked him a question that seems simple, but behind it hides a profound existential question:
"What guarantees that I will survive this operation? And what guarantees that it will be successful?"
The doctor may begin by explaining his competence, his experience, the details of the procedure, what he can do and what he cannot do. But, ultimately, he cannot provide a guarantee. All he can do is present the patient with the complete picture, then leave the decision to him.
However, this question does not stop at the limits of medicine.
A Question Beyond Surgery
If we step away from the example of surgery for a moment, a greater question appears:
What guarantees that we are not on the wrong side of existence?
In other words:
What guarantees that we are fine?
What guarantees that our decisions, our choices, our place, our time, and the entire configuration in which we live are the correct configuration?
Rather, what guarantees that the end will be in our favor?
It is a question that makes a person rethink many things, because whatever one assumes or believes, answering this question remains necessary.
Is the Doctor Enough?
When the patient asked the doctor about the guarantee of success, the doctor provided what he possessed of knowledge and experience, then left the patient facing reality.
But we can imagine another question, as if the doctor were saying to the patient:
"Do you deserve to survive the operation?"
Here we enter another issue: the issue of deservingness.
The Relationship Between Guarantee and Deservingness
The higher the level of deservingness, the higher the level of guarantees.
And the weaker the deservingness, the weaker the guarantees.
We can see this even in reality; in poor-quality hospitals, a person may be forced to undergo an operation whose results no one can guarantee, and may not even find the minimum level of reassurance.
Here the real question emerges:
If guarantee and deservingness are connected to each other, what guarantees to any person that they deserve?
An Answer Similar to Yesterday's Answer
In yesterday's broadcast, the question was:
"What keeps you awake?"
And the answer was:
"The Creator."
This answer had more than one interpretation.
One interpretation is that the Creator is the one who keeps you awake, and another is that whatever keeps you awake is your creator.
Today's question has a similar nature.
The question is:
What guarantees a person's deservingness?
And the answer is:
The one that guarantees a person's deservingness.
Meaning that your own answer to this question is the guarantor.
The Guarantor Is Your Answer
Ask yourself:
If you are searching for something specific, and then you are asked:
Do you deserve it? And what guarantees that you will obtain it?
Whatever your answer may be, it is the guarantor on which you rely.
Someone might say:
"I do not guarantee myself."
And this means that they do not trust themselves.
But if they do not guarantee themselves, then who guarantees them?
And who guarantees that they will fulfill what they are supposed to do in the best possible way?
The one who guarantees that a person will do what they should do must be the person themselves.
As for the person who does not guarantee themselves, it is difficult for others to accept their guarantee.
Deservingness Guarantees Itself
That is why I said:
What guarantees your deservingness?
The answer:
Your deservingness itself.
Deservingness is what guarantees that you deserve.
If you do not deserve, then nothing guarantees that you deserve.
And if you deserve, then everything guarantees that you deserve.
This statement may seem unclear to some people, but it becomes clearer if a person keeps repeating the question to themselves:
What guarantees that I deserve?
The Need for an External Guarantor
If you need an external guarantor, this means that you are poorer than you claim to deserve.
Imagine that you entered a bank to request a loan.
In order to obtain the loan, you were asked to provide a guarantor.
If you do not possess any guarantee of your own and you have to bring a relative, a husband, a wife, or any other person to guarantee you, this means that you needed an external power in order to obtain what you requested.
And this means that you are lower than what you believe you deserve.
Because if you truly deserved it by yourself, you would not need a guarantee from outside yourself.
The True Owner of Deservingness
From here, the principle can be formulated:
The true owner of deservingness is the one who does not need an external guarantee to justify their deservingness.
Because if they truly deserve it, they would not need anything outside themselves to confirm that.
And the same applies to everything.
If wealth is what is being discussed, then the wealthy person must be richer than everything they need.
And if status or elevation is what is being discussed, then one must be higher than what they believe grants them that status.
Conclusion
The question began with a doctor and a patient, and ended with an existential question about the human being themselves.
What guarantees that you deserve?
And do you truly need a guarantor outside yourself, or does your deservingness guarantee itself?
The answer that every person provides to this question may itself be the guarantor upon which they live, and upon which they build their view of themselves and of existence as a whole.
