All attention should be focused on our duty to connect, to go toward unity. This is the correction of the transgression of the tree of knowledge. We can’t hide from it. If we take a closer look, we will see that every person, all nations, and all of mankind generally revolve around this correction.

It will soon be revealed to us that every effort, every action, even of any individual, if he or she wants to succeed must contribute to the correction of the tree of knowledge.

We will inevitably come to the state of the end of correction. The only question is how we will travel this path. Will we be driven at every step by the whip? Will we figure out the right forms of progress in every step and in every detail? Will we ourselves move toward the same goal with the help of prayer and friends?

One may ask why we should create this alternative that is not wanted by the Creator. This is for us to have the freedom of choice to agree with the Creator and prefer to go this way, not under blows, but voluntarily, and to restrict our egoism and enter into work for the sake of bestowal (Lishma). We advance by putting our efforts and prayer into it and by trying not to escape every moment to return to the egoistic path.

Eventually we will achieve the same goal, but instead of making our way through a dark forest, through robbers, and in fear of being beaten and killed, we can drive along a beautiful highway in a Mercedes quickly and comfortably. We will perceive the goal differently if we are not driven to it from under the stick. When we move toward it along the road laid out for us, we are correcting ourselves more and more and getting closer to the goal.

At every meter of this good path, we gradually bring ourselves into line with the goal; that is, we change. While on a bad path, we increasingly resist moving until we come to such suffering that life becomes worse than death. And when we prefer this death, our egoistic desire is killed for us, which leads us to correction.

The quantity and quality of suffering on the path of acceleration of time (Achishena) is incomparable with the natural path of development in its time (Beito). After all, if I am ready to suffer in order to come to the truth, then this is no longer suffering!
