From a Feeling of Deep Dissatisfaction

567.04Question: Before you started studying Kabbalah, did you have a predisposition to it?

Answer: Yes, I did. I have felt absolutely dissatisfied all of my life. I was not satisfied with this reality in any way.

I had questions about why I was born and why I existed, although I had everything in abundance. I grew up in a decent, intelligent family. Any education, whatever one needs, I could have it all: any children’s clubs, books, no problem. Yet, I was interested only in finding answers.

Question: Usually young people live by certain interests. When they turn thirty, there is a turning point. Therefore, they very often come to Kabbalah after thirty. Did you also come to Rabash at this age?

Answer: I would have come earlier, of course! I think around 13 to 14 years old because my studies at school, at the university, and everywhere were just attempts to find something, otherwise I would not have had the strength to study.

I was lazy and jumped from one thing to the other. Nothing attracted me! I could not bring myself to do unnecessary things. It was very hard. Although, if something is important to me, then the concept of laziness disappears altogether. But this is like everyone else. The most important thing is the importance of what you do.

Comment: On the other hand, thanks to this, you have experienced certain facets of life.

My Response: Only based on a feeling of deep dissatisfaction.
