Question: If we observe the desires of ordinary people, many of them are balanced by the laws of nature and are rewarded with pleasures of the material world.
This does not seem to contradict the highest law to delight His creation at their level.
Answer: When necessary, He pulls them up.
Question: What is the role of this part of creation?
Answer: They are waiting for their turn.
Question: At the level of desires, should we also be balanced, that is, be in harmony with the general governance? Or are the desires of Kabbalists balanced only by the study of Kabbalah?
Answer: Only by studying Kabbalah.

Question: A Kabbalistic book becomes the carrier of the light of correction, when we work with it correctly. When each of us goes to work every day, is he a carrier of light?
Answer: If we do not have the intention, then we are not carriers.
It is necessary to have the intention to bestow, to love, and to infect others with the attitude of love for everyone.

Comment: You often say that it is worth focusing not on the teacher, but on the Creator.
My Response: Of course; otherwise, you are idol worshiping.
Comment: But I do not know what the Creator is.
My Response: Yes, but the moment you start idolizing some person, kissing his hands, giving him gifts—that’s it! You are already focused on him. Subconsciously, you lock yourself onto him, depend on him, and believe he will secure your future, instead of you yourself.
It already deprives you of choice, freedom of will, and freedom of action. You rely on him, become small, and stop growing. Therefore, Kabbalah forbids this.
Question: But how can we focus on the Creator if we do not feel spirituality?
Answer: You must create Him precisely from disparate manifestations, accidents, and everything that arises in you, from all your friends, and unite all this into one single, maximally possible spiritual force.
Try to gather everything you feel into one force—there is none else besides Him, the good that does good.
Aim all your inner feelings, understanding, what is in your heart and mind, absolutely everything that you see, seem to see, think, only toward one single force—the good who does good; there is none else besides Him. Through His numerous manifestations, He gives you an enormous amount of different information, impressions, sensations, and thoughts so you can gather everything together into one whole.
And then you will reveal Him, for as you make efforts, your soul forms a single vessel within you, an instrument similar to the Creator.

Question: What does a negative attitude toward Kabbalists lead to?
Answer: A Kabbalist is a person who fulfills the program of creation and wants to harmoniously and integrally connect with nature.
If I hate him, it means that I hate not him, but in general the philosophy of his existence, the purpose of his life. That is, I am the opposite of nature, opposed to it, and I put myself in opposition to the forces of nature.
Naturally, such an attitude will cause the strongest suffering in me. If not now, it will be revealed later anyway. It may seem that I am somehow benefiting from this, but in the end, I will have to pay a very heavy price for everything.
We will see all these calculations that will be presented to people who have hindered the spiritual development of mankind. These are the most terrible corrections that they will have to go through.
Comment: You said a negative attitude is also good. That is, the person is still included in the process and is influenced by the light.
Answer: Indifference is the worst, yes. A negative attitude, assuming it is rational, that makes people look for the reasons why they are against it, is helpful. I know many people who, due to their desire to criticize me, became my students.

Question: There is no time in the spiritual, i.e., we enjoy the present, past, and future as a a whole. Could my purpose in our world be to see it all as one whole?
Answer: It depends on the person, to what extent one feels one’s state, to what extent one can divide it into past, present, and future, and to what extent one is with one’s friends, and through them, can pass his sensations.
Question: What will help a person who seems to have lost the ability to dream and imagine the state of bestowing to the Creator?
Answer: Relax a little by reading Kabbalistic books and participate in what you can. There are ascents and descents; everything goes in a sine wave.

Question: A knight was walking. Along the way, he lost his horse and armor and only his sword remained. The knight was hungry and thirsty.
Suddenly, in the distance, he saw a lake. But right by the lake sat a three-headed dragon. The knight drew his sword and with his last strength began to fight.
He fought for a day and for a second day. He cut off two of the dragon’s heads. On the third day, the dragon fell, exhausted. Next to him fell the exhausted knight. And then, with his last strength, the dragon asks: “Knight, what did you want?” The knight replied: “To drink some water.” The dragon said, “Well, you could have drunk.”
I want to ask you. We are constantly in a struggle: for honor, for freedom, for our homeland, for whatever we want. I have a feeling that all these enemies we fight to the death are all made up. Is that so or not?
Answer: Yes, all of this is the product of our empty egoism.
Question: So you can simply drink the water? Why are you fighting?
Answer: Of course.
Question: And tell me, what is not made up? What struggle is not made up? They always say: “The struggle for life.” Is a person born for struggle or not?
Answer: A person is born to find work and peace in it, as well as to provide for himself, his loved ones, and family, naturally. And in this he should see his primary purpose.
Question: And after that? Should there be something more?
Answer: After that, he should develop.
Question: What do you mean by develop?
Answer: Develop his egoism, which pulls him forward, and thus gradually delve into nature.
Question: To what end?
Answer: To the meaning of life.
Question: So in any case, a person must move toward the meaning of life?
Answer: It will always be there in a person. It will always stand before him as an unresolved task.
Question: And why will it always be unresolved, unresolved, and unresolved?
Answer: To pull him out of this world.
Question: “Pull him out of this world,” what does that mean to you?
Answer: To pull him out of this petty egoism, to understand where the goal ends that nature or the Creator wishes to lead him to, to let a person master it and find peace.
Question: And we, in principle, exist at the level of petty egoism?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Does the Earth exist at this level?
Answer: Of course, yes.
Question: And great egoism, is it the desire to get out of this state?
Answer: Yes.
Question: But you still say it is egoism?
Answer: Of course.
Question: And there is still this three-headed dragon. If you say that a person must always develop egoism, you do not need to constantly chop off its heads or do you?
Answer: Egoism—the more you chop at it, the faster it grows.
Question: So more and more heads grow in its place?
Answer: Yes.
Question: Should you still chop it off or not?
Answer: You should.
Question: And the heads will keep growing?
Answer: Yes.
Comment: And chop again.
My Response: But each time they will be more complex, higher.
Question: And you will need to develop in order to chop off the heads again?
Answer: Yes.
Question: I see. And at what point will the dragon say, like in the parable: “Well, you could have drunk. Why are you fighting with me?” Will such a moment come?
Answer: No, we will not have that.
Question: We will not? We will have to keep fighting?
Answer: Yes.

Question: You said that there is a lack of connection between the tens. We mostly focus on connection within the ten. What is connection between tens?
Answer: The connection between tens should be like the connection between all people: each one shall help his friend. But for one ten to help another, we need the upper force, the Creator, to whom we pray to take care of the other ten. This is what we can do, as it is said: “He who prays for his friend receives first.” Therefore, by turning to the Creator with a request to take care of a certain ten, we will feel how this works on us.
Question: How do we build this work correctly? For example, which ten should my ten take care of?
Answer: Tens that are close to you both linguistically and geographically.
Question: So should each ten take care of another ten?
Answer: No, it is not about taking care of them in a way that helps them rise. On the contrary, by helping them, you yourself ascend and become more similar to the Creator.

When a person does some corporeal lust, the lust is not regarded as a construction because it is only temporary. When the lust passes away, nothing is left of it, such as eating and drinking, and so forth. But when one learns or prays, this exists after the action, too (Rabash, Notes 690 “This World and the Future”).
Question: What remains after our spiritual action, study, and prayer?
Answer: The overall impact on our relationship system remains. After all, the fact that we were in prayer for unification and uplift is all the impact on the system.
Question: How can we build the right intention so that the system really changes and we correct something in our prayer, in our studies?
Answer: This is what Rabash writes about. If a person means that through his actions and prayers he wants to rise, then gradually this affects the system, and it lifts him up.
