Question: How do you keep a balance between good and evil?
Answer: We cannot maintain such a balance. We do not need this at all since these calculations are inherently egoistic. We must try to surrender fully to the Creator.
Live in a state where you feel completely open to the Creator. Gradually, these feelings will settle in you and take their place.

Question: The exodus from Egypt is the last material frontier of the egoistic world. Beyond it there is a conditional line, where after crossing it, a person begins to feel love and bestowal of the Creator.
What is this transformation that we are undergoing?
Answer: This is the last correction, which is called the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).
It occurred when a group of Kabbalists led by Moses exited Egypt, united with the Creator, received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and thus attained their final correction.
In other words, all this has already happened. Today, we, under no circumstances, need to go to Mount Sinai and climb it. The only thing we have to do is to be internally and spiritually ready for unity in the movement from heart to heart.
Then, we will feel the state called one nation in one heart. That is where history leads us. Everything that happens in the world is only necessary for us to complete it. We live in the happiest time.

Question: It is written, “And the children of Israel sighed from the work, and they cried out, and their cry rose up to God.” Where does this cry come from?
Answer: It comes from a sense of helplessness that people want to unite to succeed and receive fulfillment from the Creator through their efforts, but they see they are unable.
From this, their cry arises, like a drowning person who can do nothing in the sea except cry out for help.

Question: It is written that a person can discover love in a good way or with harsh judgments. How is this related to the feeling that I stand before the King and can reveal this love in two ways?
Answer: This is an emotion; therefore, I cannot convey it to you. Either you desire to increase good within yourself and thus come closer to the Creator, or you demand something to come closer to the Creator.
That is what we do in life. You can ask, cry, and thus draw closer, or make a demand.
In principle, a person should reach such love for the Creator with which the Creator loves him. But this is practically an unattainable degree. That is the end of all corrections.

All spiritual states that a person must go through are inherent within him in potential.
In principle, the Torah and Kabbalah first describe the process of creating creation from top to bottom. But when a person begins to spiritually ascend on their own, from bottom to top, they enter into these same states through which they descended, only now they are revealing the forces that already exist within them.
After being filled with the upper light, one restricts oneself because a person feels shame. Then the process of concealing the Creator begins, followed by the subsequent attainment, where a person reveals the Creator to the extent of one’s similarity to Him.
Question: What is the difference between the similarity to the Creator when a person ascends from bottom to top, and the one that was on the sixth day of creation?
Answer: The difference is significant. In one case, it is done by the Creator, and in the other case, creation is given the opportunity to create a likeness to the Creator from within itself.
On the sixth day, this happened under the influence of the forces inherent in potential. But when we ascend from bottom to top, we take these forces and realize them ourselves and create a human out of ourselves, Adam – from the word “Domeh” (similar).
This means that everyone must write the Torah in their own heart, in their own desire.

Question: How can we check if we are ready to work in self-annulment with all our hearts?
Answer: The evidence is how much a person can dedicate himself to the goal.
Question: The connection with the Creator has degrees. What kind of work helps you see a new degree and not just have a connection?
Answer: Connect with your friends and try to reach the Creator through them, that will be your building of the degrees.
Question: Is the revelation of evil a state or a degree?
Answer: This is a state where I feel how opposite I am to the Creator. At different degrees it comes and goes.
Question: Why does the Creator give man the power of faith?
Answer: Because a person is very eager to do this.
Question: If the Creator gives harsh judgments to someone in the ten, how is it right to react internally and externally to show this reaction?
Answer: Help a friend in any way and quietly pray for him.

Question: Why, if women did not work and only cared for the house before, should they study in our time?
Answer: It is an entirely different time now. Over the past hundred years almost all women acquire a specialty, go to work, and, together with their husbands, provide for their families.
Question: Speaking of your students, can women advance spiritually simply by serving their husbands, your students, without studying themselves?
Answer: Without a doubt.
Question: Is it so simple?
Answer: It is complex. Suppose a woman is attached to her man and does everything he needs for life, and they live together and provide for each other spiritually and materially. In that case, the woman receives some of his spiritual baggage. In this union, they are partners.

On the fourth day of creation, the Almighty creates two great luminaries: the sun and the moon. In the science of Kabbalah, they are called Zeir Anpin and Malchut.
We are talking about the connection of man with the Creator. The moon is a small connection with the Creator and the sun is a big connection with Him. That is, life comes from the sun, and where its light does not reach, there is no life.
In other words, a small connection is the correction of lighter desires for connection with the Creator. And the big connection is the correction of the most egoistic desires.
