Question: Each of us has weak points: some love to watch TV and some like to surf YouTube even though they understand that they could spend this time usefully for the sake of the Creator reading the sources or doing something for the group.

How do you feel about, for example, writing a memo to yourself that from now on, instead of a watching a TV series, I read sources for the sake of the Creator and put this note in some visible place? Could this work?

Answer: It might work. Why not?

Question: Is this how I can limit myself?

Answer: Yes, certainly.

Question: Is it that simple? Where is the fight?

Answer: There is no need for any fight. What do you do in your free time? Engage in some sports and prepare for lectures and lessons a bit. And everything will go smoothly.

Question: While having fun or searching for new means of earning money, a person may think he is doing something necessary. He justifies himself all the time, and these unnecessary actions become necessary.

Answer: You are pampering yourself. If a Kabbalist has some free time left, he mainly engages in sports.

Question: Can we say that we will not get anywhere if we do not chop our desire to receive into small pieces, and only the part that deals with the Torah, Mitzvot, lessons, and dissemination will remain?

Answer: Yes, until it becomes a habit.

Comment: You give us a certain level of free time. But we have such states when egoism confuses this with what is absolutely necessary. Someone might start neglecting their health or family relationships, rest, or something else.

My Response: Everyone has a head on their shoulders, and everyone, in principle, can understand what they are sacrificing to spend more time on studying or working on dissemination. This should be balanced.

How many hours a day does Kabbalah take for you? Take, for example, an average number: a maximum of two hours. No more is needed. If you systematically devote two hours a day to the study of Kabbalah, you will see how quickly success comes to you.

Moreover, it should be arranged so that it is not an overload for you; otherwise, you will not be able to endure it for long.

Question: It is written that the desire to know spirituality or to deny it is the same thing, why?

Answer: Because both bring you closer to the Creator. I yearn to be closer to Him, to understand Him, and even if this causes some rejection within me, it does not matter.

What really matters is that it affects me and I try to react to it in some way. There are materials from Kabbalists where they criticize the world, its structure, and even the Creator Himself. This also influences their success and pushes them forward.

Question: How can our connection awaken the eternal question about the meaning of life in other people who do not study Kabbalah? Is awakening these questions influenced only by dissemination or also by our internal spiritual work in the tens?

Answer: Our internal work influences it to some extent, but to a very small degree. The main thing, in principle, is teaching.

Gradually, a large group of people will form who can teach, explain, and answer questions. Then this internal society will begin to emit certain qualities, the qualities of the Creator, the qualities of the Universe.

Therefore, keep studying, and the most important thing is to stay connected with each other. Because the simplest, even the highest knowledge will not be of any use if it is not tied to others.
It is the quality of the ten that breaks the boundaries of nature and spreads in all directions.
