The thing is that one should do all of one’s work by way of “If I am not for me, who is for me,” that no one can save him, but “by your mouth, and by your heart to do it,” that is, a discernment of reward and punishment (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 217, “If I Am not for Me, Who Is for Me?”).

Question: What is the heart, and what is doing it with the mouth?

Answer: This means addressing the Creator both out loud and internally. It means expressing it internally and with our lips in all our opportunities to talk with Him.

Question: What is goodness for the Creator? What must we constantly think about to be His sons?

Answer: The main thing for the Creator is whether we are getting closer to Him. The ultimate goal of spiritual work is the revelation of the Creator to all of us. We must constantly think about this.
