Question: When a person prays for their friends and feels pleasure from this process, what is this state? And how can this pleasure be conveyed to the Creator and to others?
Answer: You should thank the Creator for giving you such responses in the form of pleasure and try to learn from Him how to ensure that your actions also bring Him delight.
Question: How can one learn to do this?
Answer: Observe what the Creator does to bring you pleasure, then do the same for Him with the hope that He will be delighted.

Question: We can experience the Shechina in the dust through our relationships with others, especially when there is some sense of detachment from them. This can be felt as both a punishment and a reward. What is the reward? How does the Creator help people by giving them the sensation of dust?
Answer: The reward is that a person is brought closer to even greater darkness. They enter a deeper state of insignificance, worthlessness, and inability to act, which leads them to the point where all they can do is cry out to the Creator. But it is precisely this cry that liberates them from the captivity of egoism.
Question: Is there any way to avoid the taste of dust in the work of bestowal?
Answer: No, there is not.

Question: What advice would you give to a husband and wife about family life?
Answer: At least once a day both should think about how to bring joy to their spouse. When they come together, there is a union: he to her, and she to him.
Question: If I try to do something nice for my husband, thinking it will please him, but in reality, he doesn’t like it, how should he react?
Answer: He should understand your intentions. The most important thing, as we learn in Kabbalah, is intention.
Therefore, I wish you both to have the right intentions toward each other and to work together to set everything right.

Question: If the Creator is good and desires to give us pleasure, yet His name, being devoid of pleasure, has a Hisaron under restriction, how can they be that they are one? Even if I am to the Beloved, and He is to me, they still have opposition.
Answer: No, in absolute value, this is not an opposite, but complete equality.
His name is bestowal. I value Him because I receive from Him and I relate to Him in the same way. That is, we both bestow to each other. The Creator gives a person the light of fulfillment, the light of joy, the light of knowledge. And a person gives the Creator for the opportunity to help him, fill him, and bring him closer to the Creator.
Question: If we pronounce the names of the Creator, does this mean we lack precisely these properties?
Answer: No, you just try to call Him by different names in which you feel His manifestation.
Question: Are the negative names we use to refer to the Creator that originate from egoism still considered His names?
Answer: Negative names have nothing to do with the Creator. They proceed only because a person does not find the correct image of the Creator and, therefore names the Creator with words opposite to His properties.

Question: What can you advise a person who has just joined our system? What should he pray for?
Answer: He still cannot pray. He does not feel what, why, and to whom. One does not have any components of genuine prayer.
Therefore, there is no need to demand anything from him. Let him listen. Let him be present. The surrounding light will gradually affect him, and he will improve. Therefore, the only advice is to develop an awareness of the importance of the environment.

Question: What change should I feel when I raise my prayer?
Answer: You should feel that the Creator responds to your prayer, lifts you a little toward Him, and you understand more where you are, with whom you are connected, and how you can take part in the general correction.
Question: But at the same time am I asking not for myself, but for the entire soul?
Answer: Yes, but you are involved in it; it comes from you, so everything is credited to your account.
Question: We mainly work in the ten, and I first focus on my friends. How can I switch from my friends in the ten to the entire soul?
Answer: We do not quite understand how this is done yet, but we will get there. We only need to master this path when a person, based on his small egoistic desire, receives an impetus, rises closer to the Creator, tries to contact Him, and asks to use all his spiritual desires, his entire soul in this connection.
Question: Are all my spiritual desires something that also applies to my friends?
Answer: Yes.

Question: Suppose there was enjoyment and then it disappeared and left an impression, a memory, a Reshimo. Why do we forget this sensation?
Answer: This is a problem. Everything that once was and has passed gradually fades away. That is why we need to make efforts to renew the correct impression of what once was.
Question: How can one reach the sensation of the taste of reward?
Answer: If you have a reward, then you will feel the taste, and this taste needs to be remembered.

Question: How, despite the fact that the Creator loves us very much, can one avoid complacency and continue to prove selfless love to Him? What does it mean to be a good student of the Creator?
Answer: A good student of the Creator is someone who strives to understand the Creator’s desires for them and fulfills those desires. They believe that if they do something for the Creator, it is not a reward for their feelings, but rather the Creator is paying attention to them, and they will have to account for it later.
