Overcome the Resistance of Egoism

528.02Question: Why is it that the biggest resistance of egoism arise when studying the Torah and making scrutinies in the ten?

Answer: It is specially arranged from above so that egoism does not allow you to engage in your correction because this work is directed against it.

To practice the Torah means to engage in your egoistic properties and gradually cause them to be affected by the upper light, the Creator.

In this way, you will change from egoist to altruist. And every person and the whole world will change also.

Question: How can we influence each other and inspire the ten to study the Torah with joy?

Answer: Only by example, there is no other way.

Master the Machine of Material Thoughts

599.02Question: Rabash writes that the machine of the material world crashes into a person’s spiritual desire and you need to protect yourself from this collision. Then a person will be sure that he will not lose what he was given, i.e., the elevation that he received.

How can you protect yourself from this accident every time?

Answer: It is only through the fact that you have the same desire as your friends. It will keep you safe. Therefore you need to get closer to each other and put the connection between you above everything else.

Comment: But the machine of material thoughts and desires still crashes into you.

My Response: What does “crashes” mean? The fact is that you have to somehow master it, connect with your friends, and control this machine together. It is like being on a ship during a storm when two or three people hold the helm and thus steer the ship to the right course against the waves.

Complete Fulfillment of a Commandment

509Question: What does it mean to fulfill a commandment completely?

Answer: It means annulling yourself and elevating the Creator above everything else in the world.

Question: If we fulfill a commandment without the greatness of the Creator, is this fulfillment incomplete?

Answer: This is not considered fulfillment at all because any commandment is in elevating the Creator and following Him yourself.

The higher we raise the Creator in our eyes, the higher the level from which His attitude descends toward us.
