Question: You say that we are “up to our ears in the donkey,” meaning that we are in our egoism. If we associate ourselves only with it, then how can we find our spiritual form? How can you find yourself to get out of this donkey?

Answer: This can be done only by attracting the upper force. When you start working with a group in which everyone strives to get out of their donkey, then a point in your heart awakens in you, which begins to ask: “Why should I live in this donkey? What kind of life is this?” Then everyone helps each other and through combined efforts, you develop in yourself a real desire for everyone to get out of your common donkey into existence outside of it.

This desire arises in you while studying Kabbalistic sources. And it doesn’t matter that they are written in a complicated and unattainable way. It doesn’t matter. After all, when you read them, you connect with the next degree, with the next sphere, from which the upper light influences you; the state that exists there pulls you to itself.

On the one hand, your suffering pushes you forward like a cherry stone. And on the other hand, it’s the force that pulls you out. In this way you get out of your donkey and begin to feel you exist independently. The donkey does not disappear, this world remains, but you begin to feel that you also exist in the next, upper sphere.
