Question: We learn that if the Creator delights us at each moment, there is always a way to treat it with love. How do we relate to it if we do not feel this?
Answer: You do not. First you must reveal the Creator through His influence on you, and only then will you be able to evaluate these actions.
But if you still do not see what He is doing to you even though He is the one doing it, you cannot come to any conclusion and act based on it.

Impure and pure are in one’s feelings. A person may be sick, but if he does not feel the illness, he does not go to the doctor to be cured. It follows that in his feelings, he is well, although, in truth, he is not. It depends with respect to whom it should be true (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 138, “A Near Road and a Faraway Road”)
Question: If everything depends on who the truth is regarding, then it follows that not everyone needs the truth. What is meant here by the concept of truth?
Answer: I cannot define what the truth is right now. But indeed, not everyone needs the truth. Most people do not need truth but good health, a good life, health, etc. And whether it is true or not does not matter. So we still have to figure it out.
Question: It is clear that a person always wants comfort. But does everyone need the truth to develop the soul, or can it hinder someone from developing the soul?
Answer: Truth cannot hinder. Truth is the main driving force in one’s genuine movement toward a goal.
Question: In our ten, exactly what you are talking about is happening: someone wants things to be good while others want correction. I always talk about hate, about evil, about revelation. My prayer is constantly about this. But some do not want to hear it. How should I work correctly?
Answer: The ten is right, it is better to talk about good things.
Question: So if I am in such a state, should I not talk about it, but just join the opinion of the ten?
Answer: Not only you do not talk about such states, you remake yourself.

Question: Why must a person’s soul languish in order to receive mercy? The root of the soul is love. What is the meaning of pain of the soul?
Answer: In our world, nothing can be revealed except through its opposite quality. Therefore, to the extent that you yearn, empathize, and suffer, you can reveal love, an attraction to another. This is how you form connection.
Any quality in our world is revealed only through its opposite. You should try to achieve this.

Question: I am coming to the convention where there will be a lot of different people. What does it mean to integrate with everyone at the convention based on the corrected form of my ten?
Answer: You integrate into your ten just as all its other members do, and in this state, you come to the convention.
During the convention, each participating ten maintains its own structure while being ready to connect with other tens without breaking their internal unity. In this way you will see how you all unite and what happens to you as a result.

Question: If one minute of connection with spirituality is considered a great achievement, then what is a small spiritual thing?
Answer: A small thing means something partial. In some way, somewhere, somehow we are connected with the Creator. Therefore, we gather these minutes together until they reach their full state.
Question: There are days when the corporeal world takes over. Can this conditional spiritual minute outweigh the whole day on the scale of merits?
Answer: Of course it can because the spiritual forces that we receive from above are much stronger than the corporeal ones. If we wish for them to rule over us, then our egoism will not have the strength to separate us from the spiritual forces.

However, one must be happy with whatever grip he has on Kedusa [holiness], that even one moment a day is to him a great possession (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 146, “Suffering and Joy”).
A true spiritual moment when a person feels connected with the material being studied and with the Creator is a great asset for him.
The Creator reveals unfamiliar ways to a person, gives him some incomprehensible properties, and causes a person to appear in a state of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. And how should he act in such cases?
He must always understand that it comes from the Creator, even the slightest sensation, and there is no other source. Therefore, a person in his sensations must do everything to bring himself closer to the Creator or the Creator to himself. It is our job.
The quality of a spiritual moment is expressed in the strength and size of the connection with the Creator.

Question: Can meditation be considered a conversation with the Creator?
Answer: No.
Question: Is joy the result of recognizing one’s abundance from the Creator?

Question: What contributes more to spiritual advancement: short-term work on the left line or long-term work on the right?
Answer: Both are necessary. One cannot replace the other.
Question: Can music lead to a state of joy and gratitude? How does this work in spirituality? Is there a connection?
Answer: There is a connection, but it is not simple. First you need to enter spirituality and then bring music into it.

Question: What does the ability to justify the actions of the Creator in relation to any creation depend on?
Answer: It depends on the attainment of the whole universe. That is, we need to feel how the Creator is truly good who does good. He desires nothing for Himself and does everything only for us.
Question: What can teach us to immediately justify the actions of the Creator and incline
us and the entire world to the side of merit?
Answer: This cannot be learned. The only thing we need to learn in spirituality is to ask the Creator to influence us with His light.
And then we will naturally begin to feel the governance of the Creator as good, and we will reveal all that exists.
