Question: Every day for many years you have been awakening the hearts of your students. What do you feel when you see that the students you love do not have the importance of the lesson? What do you feel when you see they are absent?
Answer: I feel that I have not done enough.
Question: Does it hurt you?
Answer: On one hand, yes. But on the other hand, I understand that this is what is called the pain of raising children.
Question: What do you do with this pain?
Answer: I continue to work on you.
Question: In Letter 24, Rabash writes from the position of a teacher regarding students, not from the perspective of working between friends. How should we apply this? After all, friends do not see me as a teacher.
Answer: It does not matter. Act the same way.

Question: How can we properly connect to a common network of connections without harming the overall process?
Answer: A person cannot harm the general system because we are all under the influence of the upper governance. Therefore, although it may seem to one or others that he is bringing harm, in fact, it is not so. This is absolutely not true. No one can harm advancement.
In some groups in different countries and on different continents, all sorts of problems may arise in the spiritual growth of friends, but in general, they bring no harm. They help you figure out what is going on and to correct it.
If a person was in a group and then left, and even if the group breaks up as a result, it is okay. This means they are going through an internal maturation period.

The law of mutual guarantee is the law of life, the law of existence, the law of development. At every level where nature wishes to create something that exists, it creates its individual parts and compels them to coexist according to the law of mutual guarantee, which originates from nature itself.
In our world, we observe this at the inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels. Man is the connection of people with each other, not each of us, but all people above our natural egoism. When we, as individual particles, are ready to connect to create a correct society, we are called “Adam” meaning “similar to the Creator.”
Therefore, the system of mutual guarantee is crucial in our time. We see humanity becoming increasingly confused, unable to find itself, and practically writhing in convulsions. Although everyone understands that connection is necessary, they also understand that it is impossible due to our egoistic nature.
The wisdom of Kabbalah comes to our aid and explains that we have no choice but to unite; otherwise, things will only get worse. On one hand, we increasingly need each other and cannot escape this planet to distance ourselves from each other. On the other hand, we must connect. The method of connection is inherent in nature itself and is called the wisdom of Kabbalah, which teaches us how to correctly receive all kinds of fulfillment from each other.

Question: Is it possible to distinguish any stages from the moment a person first becomes acquainted with the science of Kabbalah to the moment when he decides for himself that he will correct his nature?
Answer: People consist of one egoistic desire, and nothing is unique about them. Although there are some combinations of certain qualities in each of them, they are all the same.
What could there be in them other than the usual animal desires to realize oneself, enjoy, and so on? In other words, calming one’s egoism at different levels is what a person desires at every moment.
With the same thoughts, he comes to study Kabbalah. He just wants to calm himself and his desires and reveal and fill them. But it is difficult here. First he enters a state of depression and despair and suffers from a lack of opportunity to attain the meaning of life. Without revealing this meaning, the whole world is unpleasant for him, and he does not know what to do with himself.
That is, a person is searching. He is led to understand that if he does not reveal the Creator, he will remain an animal and in general will exist in vain.
When does he start to learn it? Not right away. He must go through certain stages of accumulation of despair, aspiration, study, incorporation into others, and unconscious contact with the upper world because all this must somehow form in him. He realizes that there is no other way out. Not because he flies on some kind of wings—no, there is nothing else. A person comes to us out of despair and thus enters into the study of Kabbalah. Today, we see this across all of humanity.

David asks:
Please explain the phrase that the Torah is given for sinners. And if I do not feel like a sinner, does that mean I cannot study the Torah?
Answer: You can study the Torah. But for the Torah to teach you, you need to feel a little bit like a sinner.
Question: And there is no way around this?
Answer: That is why it is given.
Question: So I should need it?
Answer: Yes.
Question: What if I need it for knowledge? There is so much in it.
Answer: No, knowledge has nothing to do with it. The Torah is needed only for correction, for extracting the egoism from a person, and for making a person stand before the Creator one-on-one.
Question: So the path I take through the Torah is my path to the Creator?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Did He intentionally give the Torah specifically to sinners? Was it given precisely when we sinned?
Answer: Essentially we are born sinners. And then as we gradually recognize ourselves as sinners, we can appreciate the Torah, its depth, its power, and its ability to correct.
Question: What does studying the Torah mean to you? “I study the Torah…”. What does it mean?
Answer: I study the Torah, which means I act so that the Torah penetrates me and I can absorb its words, its strength, and its convictions. So that this becomes an unshakable part of me, and I think only about how to implement what is written in it. That is, essentially, what we must do.
Question: If you reduce it to something very simple and concise, can you say what is written in it?
Answer: About love, but not in our usual sense.

Question: Translations do not give me anything. Even though I do not understand Hebrew, I try to feel the Hebrew letters. And this has an effect.
Can translations serve as a conduit for feelings? Should we still read, for example, The Book of Zohar in the original Hebrew and try to feel it?
Answer: Yes and no. It is not necessary. The Book of Zohar will start to appear before you as a network of forces and attributes within and around you, like an internal and external matrix, and you will begin to feel it.
Question: Do you feel this clearly when you read The Zohar?
Answer: Of course! It is such a power! I am simply astonished, in awe, trying to understand, accept, and interact with it in some way, somewhere, somehow. It is as if you are in some inner and outer space with which you interact.
You study it.
Question: But do you get some kind of satisfaction from this? Or is it a completely different sensation?
Answer: There is no satisfaction comparable to this.

Compared to other parts of nature, a human being is a creature that rises above its animalistic side and becomes a social element by creating society, state, and family, not just a temporary family for reproduction, like animals, but a long-term family. Then he develops industry, science, art, etc. Everything that exists within a person is the makings for one’s elevation to a spiritual level through the connection of one’s inner parts.
How does this happen? We exist in our world to push a person toward returning to the spiritual state where one was initially. First, we create various communication systems between us, such as trade, financial systems, etc. We engage in wars and alliances just to understand how we can progress.
After undergoing multiple splits and disappointment in the ability to unite properly, we turn to Kabbalah. The first to turn to it was Adam, 5,780 years ago. He was the first to reveal this system.
The system’s design is providing humanity with the means to connect correctly. This connection, known as a mutual guarantee or Arvut, can be achieved similarly to how inanimate, vegetative, and animate levels achieve connection within the systems existing in our world. If we study these systems, we will see that they operate according to mutual guarantee. For example, each part of the human body is responsible for the entire organism. Feeling its responsibility, it automatically acts as needed to maintain the physiological life of all other parts. That is why the body exists.
However, when the connection between parts of the organism fails, a person immediately becomes ill. And if the interconnection between cells and internal systems further fails, the person dies. The same applies to society. This law operates at all levels.
