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.
