Question: What is the difference between the wisdom of Kabbalah and Herzen’s theory of rational? He wrote, “It is good for me, when it is good for others.”

Answer: The difference is that in the wisdom of Kabbalah, I don’t think about what is good for me. I must go out of and transcend myself in order to begin to build elements of attainment, the states of the spiritual world, within me.

So, I cannot talk about it being good for me according to my beastly feelings. I must exist in them only as a beast. I must build a completely new sense of a reality beyond my beastly state, beyond my egoism, outside of me, outside of myself, inside of others.

When I am able to do this, rising above myself, integrating with others, and acting with faith above reason, I will begin to feel the upper world, which is actually found outside of me, specifically in my relationships with others if I build them through transcending myself.
