Question: It is said that if a person reveals the measure of hatred in himself, then he is not led from transgression to transgression, and thus he enters into love for the Creator. Is it possible by revealing the evil in ourselves to avoid descents on our path?

Answer: No, it is impossible. In any case, there will be descents, and a person should be ready for them. He must understand that it is the descents that lead him to an ascent.

Question: In order to reveal love and good, we must reveal all the hatred and evil. What helps us to balance this correctly so that evil does not come out but remains exclusively in our inner work?

Answer: The main thing is to be in connection between us and try to reveal the influence of the Creator on us. Then we will understand what He wants from us.

Question: What is there in the stony heart that is corrected only in the last place and requires breaking?

Answer: It is stony, after all, therefore it needs to be broken.

Question: To the extent that we nullify our egoism, we gain more strength from the Creator and go deeper into self-knowledge. Is this a renewal of the connection?

Answer: It is in this way that we receive new properties from the Creator instead of those egoistic properties that we had and that we want to get rid of.
