Torah, Deuteronomy, Tavo, 28:39: You will plant vineyards and work [them], but you will neither drink of [their] wine, or gather [the grapes], because the worms will devour them.

There will be no blessings in your actions because all of them are aimed at satisfying your egoism.

Torah, Deuteronomy, Tavo, 28:40: You will have olive trees throughout all your boundaries, but you will not anoint with [their] oil, because your olive trees will drop off.

According to the Torah this oil is used for lighting, food, and hygiene. If you do not have the opportunity to use oil, then this is a very big problem, because under the oil is meant the Light of Hochma. Without the Light of Hochma you can not correctly understand what is happening to you.

The disappearance of the oil in addition to the disappearance of grains is the end. Grain (bread) is the quality of Bina, bestowal. Wine and oil are the quality of Hochma, only in different forms. Therefore, in the material world the disappearance of all of this leads a person to death from starvation. In the spiritual form, you lose the connection of Malchut and Bina and after this, you no longer have an opportunity to correct yourself.

Today, we are given the opportunity; please choose what you want: life or death, reward or punishment. You invest, you work, but because your intention is for yourself and not for the benefit of others, you end up losing in everything. And today we see it, both the material and spiritual disappear.

Humanity has come to the state when it will be sighing heavily, like over an abyss uttering an eerie cry: “What have we come to and what do we need this for?” It is because a terrible depression and despair are worse than death, you cannot die, but you also cannot live.

I think that this is a good state. We just need to prepare a quick answer based on our love for people and show them a way out of this situation.
