“Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt.” We go through two states: a period of descent and a period of ascent. The descent comes first because this is the time of the revelation of the evil inclination, of all egoistic qualities, and our separation. This is why we will have something to correct later.

First, we plunge into our egoism, and then we correct it and plunge into even greater egoism, and correct it again. Thus, step by step we are getting closer to a complete correction.

We must remember all this—the fact that the Creator does everything. There is none else besides Him! He gives us an evil inclination and He gives us a good inclination, and controls the entire process of correction, changing us state by state. There is nothing that does not come from Him.

We need to cling to the Creator, as a baby clings to the mother, sitting in her arms, and then he is calm and not afraid of anything. We also need to hold on tightly to the ten, within which there is the force of the Creator because it connects. This is how we will move forward.

Nothing happens in order to cause harm; everything is just in order for us to hold on to each other and the Creator more and more tightly. Therefore, we must remember that everything comes from one upper force to help us to grow more and more. There is no evil, everything is for the good.
