Question: How can we develop sensitivity to the constant influence of the Creator and cling to each Hisaron in a timely manner in order to develop an even greater need for bestowal and realize it through prayer?

Answer: It depends only on a person. If one is constantly focused on how much egoism prevents one from getting closer to the Creator, then he feels an urgent need to get out of the ego.

Then he cries out to the Creator, and He hears him. This is how a person reaches the Creator.

Question: At what point does the state of Lishma begin?

Answer: Lishma (not for oneself) is a state where a person receives such reinforcement from above that he can already aim for a connection with the Creator and only this is his goal.

Question: In which quality can we bring contentment to the Creator more through our efforts: in Lishma (for the sake of others) or in Lo Lishma (for oneself)?

Answer: In both states. We should strive to be as kind, good, and bestowing as possible in the eyes of the Creator. Then we will see how precisely our desires are fulfilled.

Question: What does it mean to implement connection correctly in a world group to be as one ten?

Answer: It means trying to help everyone, coming together around a single center, gathering together, uniting, turning to the Creator, and waiting for His help.

Question: What is striving to see the Creator before me?

Answer: It means seeing the force that pulls you forward, that guides you through Egypt, exiles, and various difficulties with your friends.

Question: Does Pharaoh die naturally or is he killed by the Creator when it is time to leave Egypt?

Answer: I do not think we can witness Pharaoh’s death yet. It means the death of all egoism existing in all people on Earth. Can you imagine what we will come to then? Complete correction.

Question: What is happening in the world now, wars, earthquakes, natural disasters, are these the plagues that our collective egoism must experience before the common exit from Egypt?

Answer: Yes and no. Imagine that, to put it mildly, these troubles that we have received over all the past centuries are necessary to correct our egoism.

Therefore, the Creator delayed the tribe of Israelites and did not allow them to immediately approach complete correction; this is because they did not yet have a complete Kli, i.e. regret and atonement.

Now it seems that we already have this. I think that if today our people rose up as in those days, we would certainly reach the place of the holy Temple and quickly erect it.

Question: What prevents us from rising? Lack of unity?

Answer: We lack everything. Absolutely everything. The most important thing is the connections between us.

Question: On one hand there is a union of language, silence. On the other hand, there is a great desire to speak, to spread. How can we combine these two great desires?

Answer: First there should be a desire to unite in tens, then in hundreds, in thousands.

If people have such an opportunity, then they should expand the circle in which they are more and more, wider and wider, until this whole circle includes all of humanity.

Question: How can you change an egoistic prayer into a correct one so the Creator begins to act?

Answer: The desires we feel in our impulses are neither egoistic nor altruistic. It is just a feeling of being created as I am, and this is my desire.

Afterward, through our development, we give the desire a vector when we direct it at the ten, the whole of humanity, and the Creator.

That is how we want to see the whole system: man, the ten, humanity, that is, the entire world Kli, and the Creator together. That is the main focus and goal of our efforts.

Therefore, we must imagine the picture we want to achieve during prayer.

Question: The physical body does not let go of the desire to receive for its own sake. What can be effective here in order to still be able to get out of it?

Answer: Connect with your friends and perform this action together with them.

It will not work out if you are alone because everything is built so that a person learns to neglect himself for the sake of connection with others and can connect with them.

Question: Which is more important: the effort to find out the conditions or the effort to make them change faster?

Answer: Both are hard. But first you need to clarify the state itself, get disgusted with it, rise above it, contact the Creator, and ask Him from there to allow you to raise all your qualities to this degree.

Question: What are gates in spiritual work?

Answer: The gates in spiritual work are the restrictions a person must go through when performing actions to unite with the ten and the Creator.

Question: How does our work with restrictions make something in us from which the quality of mercy comes?

Answer: The fact is that we are dealing with qualities in which the upper light is. And it sanctifies, corrects, and unites us.

Question: What is it to love spirituality and strive for it?

Answer: I cannot explain what it means to love. No one can do it. Try to understand from your own experience.

Question: The main idea of Kabbalah is to bestow to the Creator. Can you give an example of what it means to bestow to the Creator? After all, it is not some object, but the whole of nature.

Answer: Bestowing to the Creator means fulfilling, for His sake, the conditions and the actions that He wishes to see, feel, and receive. Then these actions are called bestowing to the Creator.

Question: What are these conditions and actions?

Answer: If you knew the needs of the Creator, then you would start looking for what you can bestow to Him.

Question: Let’s say, I know that bestowing to the Creator means bestowing to my neighbor. If I act this way toward my neighbor, does it mean I am bestowing to the Creator? But where is the pleasure in this? I am not enjoying it.

Answer: No but you start to think: what can I do for the Creator? There are only two actions here, receiving or bestowing. Nothing else.

Let’s say I can give, since this is closer and clearer to me. If I give to others around me, I elevate them and welcome them; they appear bigger and higher in my eyes than others. This is bestowing.

Question: What can I give to my neighbor?

Answer: Anything. You need to find out what they desire.

Question: Let’s say I found out what my neighbors desire and I give it to them. As I do this, I imagine that I’m fulfilling the commandment of the Creator. Is that all?

Answer: Yes that is all. Is that not enough? Imagine if someone did that for you!
