Question: When you were studying with Rabash and had certain complaints toward him, he would say: “Why didn’t you ask?” Is it the same request every time? Or does it change? What did he mean when he asked you that?

Answer: He meant that one must always turn to the Creator but only after properly clarifying the issue. That is, when I want to achieve such a connection with my friends that the Creator is revealed within it and by doing so I will give Him contentment because He desires to dwell within and fill the creation with everything He has.

This state is compared either to the suffering of a cow bursting from excess of milk, eager to give to everyone but no one is taking, or to the agony of a woman in labor who wants to give birth, but the moment of birth has not yet come.

Such a state is very intense. It is an inner state that the Creator experiences because the desire to bestow is much stronger than the desire to receive.

We need to imagine this state of His and prepare ourselves to ask, not because we want it, but because He needs it.
