If the Kli is mixed with reception for oneself, which is regarded as “dirty” compared to the light, which is all about bestowal, accordingly, before a person comes to receive sustenance from the Creator, which are delight and pleasure, he must clean himself up from self-reception. At that time, the abundance, which is the pleasure, does not go to the Klipot, regarded as reception for oneself. Rather, the abundance will go to Kedusha because he can aim to benefit the Creator while receiving the pleasure. This is called “eating the food on the pure table.”
After the meal, it is to the contrary. He must give a part to the Sitra Achra [other side]. This means that he says that there is still dirt here, which belongs to the Sitra Achra, and I must still correct myself (Rabash article No. 22 (1988) “What Are Merits and Iniquities of a Righteous in the Work?“).
Question: How can one understand that it is time to give to the Sitra Achra (impure desires)?
Answer: We do not want to give anything to the Sitra Achra. But there is nothing to do; some part still escapes to it. In addition, it is believed that it is also necessary to feed it because it helps us separate purity from impurity, reception from bestowal. This commandment concerns absolutely everyone.
Question: If a person has already committed a sin and has fallen into the Sitra Achra, how should the sinner and the righteous in him work properly to get him out of receiving for himself?
Answer: It is necessary to pull out the sinner with the help of the righteous. And in order to awaken the righteous in us, we have been given the ten, the friends.

Question: Where can I get an example of how to become like the Creator if I do not feel Him?
Answer: You will not be able to feel the Creator until at least to some extent you become like Him.
But in our world you will not get such an example. You have to imagine for yourself what it means. You have your qualities, so make a correct portrait of them, and then turn to the Creator and ask.

Question: What does unity mean in our work and how can we bring it to the surface when we are together?
Answer: Unity is when we are all so different, distant, opposite, and even repulsive to each other, but we yearn to unite in order to be able to reveal the Creator in the unity with each other.
This state of yearning for mutual connection is called unity.

Question: The Torah describes the sin of Adam. We have all read those stories that, in fact, are telling about the shattering of the vessels. Why is it described in narrative form?
Answer: The Torah is written in an allegorical form because Kabbalists had to somehow describe the process of shattering close to human understanding.
That is, people in those days, 3,000 years ago, just like today, could perceive this information only through an allegorical narrative.
Question: Now we are studying the “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah”, written by Baal HaSulam in Kabbalistic language. Did they not know this language before?
Answer: They knew, of course, but they did not use it often. After all, people were closer to the description in the type of language as in The Book of Zohar.

Question: In Rabash’s article “What is: “The Torah Speaks Only Against the Evil Inclination,” in the Work,” it speaks of a Kli (vessel) in which a taste is felt. This taste is created by spices, and the spices are the Torah and light. How can we attract this light and spices in order to unite?
Answer: The answer is actually simple. The only way to attract the light that unites us is through a common intention. Try to connect with your friends, pray together, ask for unity, and you will succeed.
The Creator is interested in us receiving everything in the reflected light, meaning for the sake of bestowal.

Question: In “Preface to the Wisdom of Kabbalah,” Baal HaSulam writes that after the shattering of the general system, impure worlds were formed. What is this about? What does “impure worlds” mean?
Answer: Impure worlds are egoistic forces that unite after the shattering in order to be able to snatch small sparks of light that could give them the opportunity to exist.
Question: Speaking more practically regarding our existence, the world is a concealment. What is concealed from us? Is it the fact that we bestow to each other and can receive pleasure?
Answer: Absolutely everything is concealed from us. The only thing we can do is recognize that the world in which we exist is evil. There is only one way out of this evil; it is with the help of each other to raise our prayer to the Creator so that He corrects us.

Question: In the 70s of the last century the problem with AIDS emerged, before that there was a problem with cancer. And nowadays, even infants get cancer. How is this possible, considering that typically there should be some accumulative period for a person?
Answer: What kind of cumulative period can we talk about if all this enters the newborn from the bodies of the mother and father and has been happening for years and generations.
Moreover, it seems to us that this occurs at some biological or even genetic level. In reality, these are problems of a spiritual nature, because we are becoming increasingly disharmonious with nature. Hence, the cause of all diseases is that we are not in balance with the surrounding nature.

Question: When did the shattering of the general system happen, and what is the meaning of this phenomenon?
Answer: The shattering of the Kelim (Vessels) occurred at the very beginning of the creation of reality. After all, in order to create it, we needed such desires that would be opposed to the single force of nature—the Creator.
The Creator is the desire to bestow, fulfill, love, and unite. In order for the opposite desire to appear, which would be in some way different from the Creator and could be called creation, the desire to give was shattered into many small egoistic desires.
Every desire thinks only about how to fulfill itself. This is how our nature appeared from which we then evolved. The formation of egoistic desires is the process of shattering.
These desires have become the foundation of our world: inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature.

Question: When a person receives pleasure for the sake of bestowal, does it also extinguish his Hisaron?
Answer: Of course. This is real pleasure because a person receives it in the Kelim for the sake of bestowal.
Question: How can one be a correctly tuned instrument of the Creator in the material world and constantly be in inner work? What does this person look like?
Answer: This person constantly sees the Creator in front of him.
Question: The main thing in a person’s efforts should be the achievement of strength that gives a feeling of the taste of bestowal. This is achieved by reducing the power that gives the feeling of the taste of receiving for oneself. How does the taste of receiving for oneself differ from the taste of receiving for the sake of giving to the Creator?
Answer: I cannot explain this in any way because first you have to taste it, and then you will know.
Question: You said that we need to feel the Creator in our friends. Where exactly in my friends do I feel the Creator?
Answer: At the center of your group where you all come together with your thoughts, feelings, and desires.
