Comment: We, the students of MAK Israel [KabU, Kabbalah classes for Russian speakers] would like to hear words of guidance and wishes from you.
My Response: The most important thing for you is to stay together. Gather together and strive to be increasingly focused on your goal.
You are only at the beginning of your journey. And, of course, many more revelations await you. But you have good conditions, and you will succeed. We are always at your service.

Question: It is said that we are obliged to receive pleasure to be in the program of creation. If a person has already abandoned the receiving vessels (Kelim), but has not yet fully mastered the skill of maintaining true clothing, how can they be in the program of creation?
Answer: A person must receive pleasure either from the fulfillment from receiving or the fulfillment from bestowing; this is his life. He cannot exist without desire.
He is created with the desire to receive. Therefore, we need to thoroughly understand ourselves: to whom is our desire directed and how we can use it.

Question: When I am clothing in the desire of a friend, it means I want to fulfill it.
If I take this desire and turn to the Creator with it, where exactly does the revelation of the Creator occur?
Answer: It occurs in the reflected light. The reflected light (Ohr Hozer) is the light we direct to the Creator because we want to feel the Creator through the quality of bestowal to Him.
To the extent that our qualities of bestowal align with His, we begin to feel the reflected light and the direct light (Ohr Yashar) clothed in it within our desire.
In this way, the light enters the body of the Partzuf, which means into our desire, and we reveal the Creator.

Question: Is it possible to make an agreement with the body to work for the sake of bestowal? What arguments can we provide to the body so that it supports our intentions for the sake of Heaven?
Answer: You can come to an agreement with it if you constantly think about bestowal.
By desiring to work through your intentions, you should imagine that they are within you, and by directing them to the Creator, you connect with Him. In this way, the Creator receives all your desires.
Question: Will the body help us then?
Answer: The body has nothing to do with it. The body is a desire.

We can and must ask the Creator to reveal Himself in order for us to feel that He alone exists and fills the whole world.
Question: The concealment of the Creator was made specifically to give us the opportunity for correction. What does it mean to be ready for this revelation?
Answer: The point is that I should not feel His revelation as something that can fill me. I need to be ready to reject the revelation of the Creator in order to be like Him and to understand that He reveals Himself only so that I can conceal Him, and only after that can I very carefully and gradually prepare myself for His revelation.
That is, first we need to conceal Him. And to the extent that we can really do this, the Creator will begin to reveal himself.
Question: What does it mean to conceal myself?
Answer: It means I should not reveal my egoistic desires. If I do not reveal them, then no one knows them. I should reveal only my altruistic desires and wait for them to be fulfilled.

Question: How can we work so that all our actions and feelings become spiritual? How can we transform material pleasures into spiritual enjoyment?
Answer: Transforming material pleasures into spiritual ones is possible only if you think about what to do with the pleasure you receive. Suppose you experience some pleasure. First, consider from whom, why, and for what purpose.
In this way, you can somehow direct it, focus on something, and then you will understand what you are doing with that pleasure. It is not about the pleasure itself, but how we use it.
Question: How can we transition from enjoying false things to true, genuine fulfillment?
Answer: It is by connecting with our friends and helping each other understand what true enjoyment is, which we can receive from the Creator and then give back to Him.
Every moment we can examine ourselves and sharpen our focus on the Creator.

Question: It is said connection with the Creator as a result of prayer due to suffering is a greater correction than suffering itself, which is also a correction. What kind of connection should there be with the Creator to overcome suffering?
Answer: You should feel this, attract the Creator to yourself, unite with your friends, and do everything possible to be in the same desire, in the same connection with your friends and with the Creator.
Thus, you gradually form an instrument of influence upon the Creator and draw closer to Him.
Question: The whole world is suffering. We see this as a patent giving us a remedy for suffering. Is it possible to explain to people, including beginners, that they can overcome suffering by connecting with the Creator?
Answer: Of course, you can if only they would listen. There are no secrets here.

Question: We want to reveal the Creator in the degree that we can bestow to Him. What does this degree depend on? How can I know that I gave Him everything that I have received?
Answer: How can I measure it? We ask the Creator to reveal Himself to us in the degree that we can raise His greatness and bestow to Him. Then we will be able to do that.
Question: What is this desire that we have to present to Him so He would be revealed within it?
Answer: This is our desire to receive everything that He wishes to give us with the intention to give contentment to Him.
For now, we have to be ready to reveal the Creator in the degree of our understanding of how to do that. Gradually we will learn how to receive not for my own sake, but only for Him.
