Question: How is prayer formed in the heart?

Answer: A prayer is formed in the heart when I begin to feel that my friends and I have a common connection but something is not moving forward. This is the state you are in right now. Something is not moving forward.

What is the reason that we are not progressing? And here we have a very clear realization that everything depends not on us, but on the Creator. And the prayer is very simple: we want to unite with each other so that by our unification, by rising above our individual egos, we can bring Him contentment because in this way we become like Him.

It is by our similarity to the Creator that we bring Him contentment. What does it consist of? It consists of efforts on our part to unite so that He can fill our unity with Himself, dwell within us, and thus enjoy that He is within the soul, within creation.

And then there are many different feelings and studies, which represent a clear revelation of the science of Kabbalah. That is, the dependencies between Aviut, Massach, Partzuf, the connection between the parts in the Partzuf: Bina, Malchut, Keter, and so on.

The connections between us and with the Creator are just like novels, symphonies. Moreover, they are simultaneously both sensory and mental, and one complements the other.

This does not exist in our world. And if it does, it is only partially, when a person understands music and at the same time understands its foundation, its relationships, the influence on hearing, on the adaptation of our internal sensations to sounds, even to frequencies, in what conjugation they can be, and so on. I have not seen such an example in our world like music.

Question: What does it mean to be in union with the Creator in a state of lowliness?

Answer: Despite not having any prerequisites to rise, I am ready to be with the Creator in any state, even the lowest ones.

Question: When I read the study material, if there is a desire to give in the heart but the mind does not understand what is studied, does it mean that I am not disconnecting from myself and not connecting with the Creator?

Answer: It does not matter. The main thing is that you are aware of this. From here the correction will begin.

Question: Who can plead with the Creator to pull a person out of the filth, himself or his ten?

Answer: The person himself. And if he cannot ask for himself, he asks his ten to do so.

Question: What does it mean not to doubt the greatness of the Creator?

Answer: It means feeling that there is no one higher than Him, and in fact, there is none else beside Him.

Question: Where is the truth if some friends feel progress and others do not?

Answer: The truth is with those who feel progress.

A person raises the lack that he has and asks the Creator to satisfy his lack (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 579, “I Will Remove the Stony Heart”).

In order to awaken the Creator and achieve a true deficiency in the ten, we must come together in a single circle, as one vessel (Kli), and turn to Him with a request to help us feel Him, and thus bind all of us into one unified Kli.

The realization of the true deficiency of the ten will occur when we feel that we are connected with each other like the particles of Malchut and elevate a collective desire upward so that the Creator will manifest within it. That is when He will reveal Himself within us and fill us. This is called connection with the Creator.

Question: Can we call it a true deficiency when there is a desire to bestow, but no strength to do so?

Answer: No, that means there is no desire. If there is a desire, there is strength. If there is no desire, there is no strength.

Question: How can the ten always be ready to remain in the same awakening as the Creator?

Answer: The ten doesn’t know this. We simply need to try to ascend to the Creator and unite with Him through our collective efforts, and it will gradually happen. The Creator will approach us, reveal Himself within us, and allow us to attain Him.

Question: We talk a lot about caring for humanity and becoming a transmission link between the Creator and the world. Can we do this work at our current stage or are we just preparing the groundwork for the future?

Answer: We are still in a state that even if we do not ask for the whole of humanity, but only for our ten, it will be enough. Although a complete prayer is when we ask for the entire chain, the whole Kli, the whole soul of Adam. Then it definitely works.

However, asking means feeling a desire, a need, an intention. Therefore, first you need to think about it and then turn to the Creator. And if we ask in the following way—I ask for ten, the ten asks to be included in the whole global Bnei Baruch, the global Bnei Baruch asks to be included in all of humanity—this is a complete prayer.

Question: How can we raise this sensitivity? Is it only by a demand to the Creator?

Answer: No, we can raise it mainly by discussing it among ourselves, listening to our friends, and thus increasing its importance.

Question: So is our task at this stage only to ask for humanity in this chain?

Answer: What other task is there? Practically we have one request: help us create such a desire, called a Kli, that You could fill and bring to similarity to You.

Question: What should our collective inner action as a ten be in relation to the Creator?

Answer: The collective inner action of the ten should be the desire to bestow to the Creator and to be able to receive for the sake of bestowal because the Creator only wishes to bestow. Then a connection with Him will arise and you will receive in order to bring Him contentment.

The Creator wants to fill everyone with the upper light, absolutely everyone. Your task is to ensure that you can receive it for the sake of bestowal. In this way, you will establish a complete connection with the Creator.

Question: What is the joint action of the common Kli with the Creator?

Answer: Our common Kli must unite in such a way that it can bestow to the Creator.

The Creator will shine His light upon us, and we will shine back with the reflected light. We are not the source of the light; we can only receive in order to bestow back to Him.

Question: The main prayer is the only one and it is different everywhere. Somewhere it is to have complete faith; somewhere it is to love your neighbor as yourself or to be as one person with one heart, or to raise Shechina from the dust. Can a student somehow connect all these things with himself?

Answer: In general, yes. They are the same thing.

Question: In the ten, do we need to come to an understanding of what is important for us and where we are going?

Answer: In the ten you must come to the understanding that all your aspirations, intentions, prayers, and requests should be aimed at asking the Creator to connect all of you and fill you like a vessel. Then, as the components of this vessel, you will reach your purpose.

We have only one prayer to pray—to raise the Shechina [Divinity] from the dust, and by this all the salvations will come. (Rabash, Notes 36 “Who Hears a Prayer”)

The Shechina in the dust is our common desire to unite with each other in order to reveal the Creator in this unity according to our qualities.

“Shechina” comes from the word “Shochen” (Dweller), which is called the Creator. Therefore, the state of the general desire that remains in a state of breakage, in a lack of understanding of where and how it is located, is called Shechina in the dust.

But gradually we unite the disparate desires, raise them, exalt them in our eyes, and the Shechina as if rises from the dust, and is able to contain the Creator in its new state.

In this case, the Shechina becomes the Temple, and it is filled with the light of the Creator or, it is possible to say, the Creator Himself.

Question: You said that if there is no desire to bestow to the Creator, bestowing to friends is impossible. On the other hand, we say that it is from bestowing to the creations that we transition to bestowing to the Creator. So is the effort to love a friend without a prior desire to bestow to the Creator an incorrect effort?

Answer: It is incorrect. What are you directing your effort to? As it is said: “The end of an action is in its initial thought.”

Therefore, you should first direct yourself toward an action for the Creator, and then consider how you can begin this action.

It is quite possible that you will need to start by working with friends and then draw closer to bestowing to the Creator.

Question: What helps us build the correct intention?

Answer: An appropriate attitude toward friends. If you desire to give to them, this will lead you to the correct intention regarding the Creator.

Question: The Hisaron (deficiency) of a sinner is in justifying the actions of the Creator, but what is the deficiency of a righteous person?

Answer: The Hisaron of a righteous person is in fulfilling the actions of the Creator.

Question: Can the feeling of being righteous be given by certain forces that further hinder a person from transitioning to faith above reason?

Answer: On the path, anything is possible. The main thing is to not  be afraid and keep moving forward, keep asking, keep questioning. When will I receive it? When will I have strength? When will I have knowledge? When will I be above reason? And so on.

Question: If the right line represents a righteous person and the left line represents a sinner, then what is called the middle line?

Answer: It is when I work above reason.

Question: What is the proper feeling in a person’s egoism after he has nullified himself before his friends?

Answer: It is the feeling that you have created a place where you can feel the Creator.

Question: Sometimes, after annulment, there is a feeling of being lowered and sometimes of inspiration. Are both correct, or is one preferable?

Answer: Annulment is best.
