Think Less, Act More

938.04Question: You often tell us that we should strive to embrace our friends with our hearts. What does this concept entail?

Answer: Embracing a friend’s heart means striving to feel their true needs and questions. For this, you must unite with them in some common desire and raise this desire to the Creator. After you have united even a little, take some text of a prayer and begin reading it together in unison. And so it will be revealed that at the same time you rise.

Question: First you said that we need to seek our friend’s aspirations and then rise to the Creator with a common desire. So is this a path that needs to be followed to come to the single desire?

Answer: Yes, think less and act more so that your impressions lead you to a new state.

Correction with Prayer

947Question: During the day, we have time when we form a prayer. How can we use this time to feel that we are turning to the Creator together?

Answer: Gather together in sensation, as if you are in one place, in one desire, and from it you turn to the Creator, you want to connect to Him and to fill Him with your attitude. Nothing else is needed.

Question: There are different ideas about prayer. Is what is in our hearts already a prayer?

Answer: That is also correct.

Question: On the other hand, you say that first we form an appeal to the Creator, and then, as it were,  must enter Him, raise the general MAN right here and now. But some friends believe that, in principle, that this is not necessary.

Answer: Let everyone participate as they see fit. It doesn’t matter. And then you will analyze your actions and correct them with prayer.

Revelation Is in Unification

528.01Question: What does it mean that we are beginning to reveal the open control of the Creator in our unification?

Answer: If you genuinely unite with each other, then the Creator reveals Himself between you, you feel how He guides you, and change the distance between you relative to each other: now closer, now further, in a circle, and so on.

This is how you understand the Creator’s governance and learn how to relate to the world from Him.

How to Read Articles Correctly

524.01Question: How do we learn to let go of previous perceptions in order to undergo rapid changes? Could it be useful to find articles of Rabash where he talks about reward? Are there any such articles?

Answer: Of course, there are many articles. But it is not about them; it is about the way you perceive them.

Therefore, I advise you to get together, try to unite with each other, and read one article. It is better than reading ten articles alone.

You will feel others and get ten opinions at once.

Means for Adhesion to the Creator

232.01Question: What does it mean to keep oneself in the right state during a descent?

Answer: In a state of descent we must still keep ourselves connected to the Creator. After all, a descent is not truly a descent; we simply stop feeling closeness to the Creator, but this does not mean we are distancing from Him.

On the contrary, these are the states when we need to draw Him even closer to us. Thus, it is from this state of relative descent that we will begin to rise higher and higher.

Question: Elders develop a certain technique for going through states of descent, and they patiently go through everything. This patience, as a habit, does it neutralize the descent and moving through the degrees?

Answer: Not at all; each time it is new work and new effort.

Learning to Justify the Creator

504Question: When the Creator gives a person correction in the form of health problems, what should one regret? If someone is regretting something, how can they justify the Creator?

Answer: You should learn to justify the Creator and regret that you cannot fully justify Him with your properties.

Question: If a friend receives suffering that is greater than his strength to bear it, how can he deal with it correctly? What is our help, and what should his request be to the Creator?

Answer: He should try to be in complete connection with the rest of the friends in the ten and together with them ask the Creator for the ability to overcome these sufferings so as not to grieve or blame Him.

The Creator Needs Our Joy

550Question: How can we increase the lack (Hisaron) in the ten so that it resembles the lack of the Creator who wishes to draw us to Him?

Answer: Constantly think about why you lack connection with the Creator and ask Him to increase this connection.

Question: That is exactly what I do. I constantly think about my lack of connection with the Creator, but this only increases my disappointment in myself.

Answer: No, the Creator needs your joy. You should rejoice that you have a desire for Him. This is a mandatory condition. A person must always be joyful that the Creator reveals Himself a little to him, draws him to Himself, and then he strives and approaches Him. This is very important.

A Critical Mass Will Influence the Course of History

963.4Question: In the article “The Last Generation,” Baal HaSulam writes that if the majority of people accept the idea that the whole world is one family, they will immediately join communistic altruism. What about the minority?

Answer: First ideas get intermixed, properties are clarified, and only then is a decision made on what should be done. People will start to adopt certain norms of behavior or laws.

That is, there will be not just the majority among people, but a critical mass will be formed in the nation that will influence the course of history.
