Question: Why did nature create us to fight our way through thorns to the stars?

Answer: For us to truly master these spaces and to absorb them within us. That is why we must combine the light and shadow within ourselves and the contrasts between them. We must attain everything ourselves, then it will be ours. If it is given to us, we will not feel anything.

What is the difference between an infant and an adult? They exist in the same world, but the infant does not understand it. Whereas an adult who has studied this world feels and interacts with it.

We need to learn to interact with the world that surrounds us. We do not even feel it yet; we have not been born into it with our sensations.

We must act and then everything will be revealed. Believe me! How many times I have I talked about this but never has someone revealed something just from my words. It only happens when they make the effort.

Question: Does it matter what kind of effort?

Answer: Yes it matters! A person needs to learn this, explore this, and try to act as correctly as possible to shorten their path in time and meaningless expenditures.

Only the efforts of a person will reveal sensations to him.

Comment: If you look at it, slander takes place everywhere in our world—in politics, in life, everywhere.

My Response: Yes, politics and our life are pure slander.

Question: This has always been the case throughout human history. Can this change somehow?

Answer: The Creator created egoism and the opposite force to correct it. But if we do not do this, then we should at least understand why our world is so bad, so harmful, and so terrible.

I believe that this will change when humanity realizes that in this way we will never come to some kind of balance or agreement and lead ourselves to a normal life. Humanity must understand this! There are no right or wrong sides here.

Question: In our world it is commonly believed that love and a home connect a man and a woman, and people rarely consider that it is the Creator who connects them. Much is talked about this union in the sources. Is there something special about it?

Answer: The sources emphasize that a man and a woman should not oppose each other in any matter. They should be together and should understand and support each other. In this, they find the meaning of their existence.

Question: Does this have to be a married couple?

Answer: Yes, because unmarried individuals do not have these obligations. Therefore, they should perform some ritual to establish a connection between themselves.

Question: In our time, many people live in common-law marriages without any rituals. Does this mean they must legalize their relationship?

Answer: No, that does not matter. However, when getting together with a woman, a man should understand that he is responsible for caring for her and the family. Marriage is the union of a man and a woman to form a family together.

When a person marries, He cleaves to Divinity because before he got married, Divinity does not abide over him, for Divinity cannot abide over a defective place. Therefore, he who does not have a wife has no good, as it is said: “It is not good for a man to be alone” (New Zohar, Hukat, Article “Song of the Well“).

From a spiritual point of view, an unmarried man is considered flawed. But when he takes a maiden as his wife, he gradually becomes complete and perfect and leads them in common unity to the goal of creation.

Question: Why is a man given such responsibility?

Answer: He is the head of the family. It is believed that he is being asked and must answer.

Question: It says that a man without a wife has no blessing. What is a blessing?

Answer: It is overcoming the obstacles between spouses and extinguishing the “fires” that break out between them. A man should do all this, and the woman must help him so there are no explosions.

Question: Does she have to be very smart?

Answer: Why not? Women feel in advance such situations before an explosion more than men do.

Question: In what way is a woman flawed?

Answer: She does not have the same rights as a man.

After all, a man is called the head of the family, the master. Therefore, he is entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring that the family is whole, complete, and friendly where they can create conditions for children to grow up.

Rabbi Akiva taught: When husband and wife are worthy, the Shechinah abides with them; when they are not worthy, fire consumes them (Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Sotah, Folio 17a).

The Shechina is a manifestation of the Creator; it is the upper light that a husband and wife can feel between themselves. If they are worthy of this, the light manifests between them and connects them. If not, the same light manifests in a way like it consumes them.

To be worthy of the positive influence of the light means to deserve it with your correct relations and mutual help. Then the Creator manifests between the spouses. Otherwise, the same manifestation of the Creator has a negative effect on them.

Question: What are the correct relations between a husband and wife? How do you know they are right?

Answer: Actions are correct when each concedes to the other and lowers him or herself before the other. They understand they are both egoists and must work with their egos. Then, mutual understanding arises between them, and they are predestined for a peaceful family life.

Question: What is this Torah that is forbidden to be revealed because every soul must do it by itself?

Answer: There are some questions that are revealed only at certain times and only to certain people.

After all, there are souls who have already developed and can receive these questions in the course of life, and there are those who still have to continue their development. But they too will receive such tasks from above, from the Creator. Eventually everything will be revealed to everyone.

Question: What determines the time spent in descents, and how it be reduced it to a minimum? Maybe you need to find a connection with the Creator not only when you are in an ascent because the Creator is also present in the descents?

Answer: It is from the descent that we need to rise. While in a descent, a person should start reading the sources as soon as possible, praying, singing, doing anything to get out of this state.

Question: Is it necessary to look for the Creator in the descent?

Answer: You will not find Him there.

Question: How do we reach a state when our soul begins to teach us?

Answer: In principle we should already begin to determine this. A person needs to understand that everything he receives comes from the Creator is aimed only at his development, and he needs to figure out how to react to the revealed circumstances.

If you correct your soul, i.e., the point of connection with the Creator, then it will lead you forward, as it is said, a person’s soul will teach him.

Question: It is just that the moments of connection with the soul are short-lived, and this world captures all your attention. How can we make it so that the point of connection with the Creator would subjugate us?

Answer: You must divide yourself into two parts. Follow the instructions of the Torah in the one part and work with the outside world in the other.

Question: But the outside world does not feel these instructions. Why then should we divide ourselves into two parts?

Answer: The point is not that the outside world does not feel but that it is about your fulfillment of the Torah and Mitzvot. And they must be fulfilled.
