Question: From a letter: “You have been saying lately that one should not ask anything from the Creator but only agree with everything that happens because everything is from Him. You say: ‘This is life, this is the world, and I exist in this world to be at peace.’ It turns out that I do not need to ask for anything: not for health, not for peace. Then what is the point of all prayers?”
Answer: Asking the Creator is of course necessary, but first, one must decide. It must relate to my request to Him after I have tried everything, done everything, and have not achieved all that I should have achieved for His sake, then I turn to Him with a request and ask for help.
Question: So my first action is to try anyway?
Answer: Try to give to the Creator. If I can’t do that anymore, then ask Him.
Comment: But this “giving to the Creator” is the whole difficulty here. After all, people are actually asking. They are asking, not what to give Him, but what they ask for.
My Response: And what do they give? They give a prayer, they give nothing. They do not give; they ask!
Question: Is the most important thing to ask the Creator?
Answer: Yes, the Creator exists for the purpose of asking Him.
Question: Very important, very good. And where is your inner awareness that you too can give something?
Answer: There is no such awareness. None. Giving to the Creator is generally against any logic. He created everything, He does everything.
Comment: Then let Him give! This is the logic.
My Response: Well said! “Come on! Where are You?”
Question: Should I ask for those who are close to me, for those who are far away, or for oneself?
Answer: It does not matter for whom to ask, but ask.
Comment: But ask, yes. I have such a relationship with the Creator.
My Response: I ask, He gives, not bad.
Question: Do you agree that this is such a condition?
Answer: I agree that a person is built that way.
Question: You say it yourself that such is nature. And what is wrong here? If this has been embedded in us, what is wrong?
Answer: And what is from me?
Question: What is from me? Some good behavior, the fulfillment of some laws? And it is written in the Torah, in the Bible.
Answer: Very well. So do it.
Comment: I do it, but I do it with the thought that it should be good for me.
My Response: And that is no longer good. This is where the problem lies, that you do what you have to do against your will. Part of it is how much you can reduce this involuntarily list.
Question: So, I would want to reduce it?
Answer: You would want to destroy it. And what you want is that you will have no obligations before the Creator but that the Creator feels you and is ready to fulfill your wishes at every moment.
Comment: Yes. There is a thought. The question is this: “You say you have to agree, it started with this, agreeing with everything that happens.”
My Response: Correct, continue.
Question: To agree with everything that happens and that this world exists to be at peace. These are her main theses. You are not giving up on this?
Answer: No. But what does it mean to balance for it to be at peace?
Question: In other words, what does it mean to balance myself?
Answer: Yes. It is all measured relative to me.
Question: That is, this phrase “at peace”—is there some big secret in it?
Answer: Yes.
Question: And what is peace then?
Answer: Peace is a complete harmony, mutual understanding between man and the Creator.
Question: So I have to come to this? It is not just peace as I understand it in this world.
Answer: No. A complete understanding of each other.
Question: And what does it mean?
Answer: That you are completely at peace.
Question: What do I have to understand?
Answer: What the Creator wants from you and what you want from the Creator and that at the same time you are similar to each other and are ready to do anything for each other.
Question: How do I know what He wants from me in order to come to peace?
Answer: The Creator wants only one thing from you: that you understand Him and what He needs.
Question: What? Please tell me.
Answer: But you have to understand this, you have to reveal it.
Question: Meaning that my life comes down to searching for what He needs?
Answer: Yes, This is the direction in life.
Question: How should I aim myself? “I want to understand what You want” or “I want peace”—these are two directions; which one is correct?
Answer: No. “I want peace,” this is you—an egoist. But “I want the right direction for my thoughts, my actions,” this is already a question.
Question: That is, I want to please You somehow, I want to be in dialogue with You?
Answer: I want to do something nice for You.
Question: And my whole life is to find out what I can do that is pleasing Him? And this is called coming to peace that you are talking about?
Answer: Yes.
