Balance the “Day of the Creator” and th “Night of the Creator”

207This is what it means that one must engage in Torah day and night, that the night and the day should be equal for him, as written in The Zohar (BeShalach). In other words, the state of completeness called “day,” and the state of incompleteness called “night,” should be equal (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 300, “A Land Where You Will Eat Bread Without Scarcity”).

Question: If a person has the desire to pray and give thanks, it is called the day of the Creator, and if there is no desire, it is called the night of the Creator. In what way can they be equal?

Answer: In the fact that for a person both desires should be equally important because both conditions come from the Creator, and one must relate to both states equally. Day is when the Creator shines, and night when He is concealed from you.

The Cure for Egoism

938.01Recognition of evil is a state where you cannot stand your egoistic nature and are ready to do anything to get rid of it.

However, this is not your entire ego; it is only the part that is currently revealed. Still, its recognition awakens a deep hatred toward it.

If you feel you are evil, understand how you genuinely relate to others, the world, people, and ultimately to the Creator, and desire to rise above your egoistic problems. This is the essence of healing from egoism.

Question: Is complete annulment before the friends and the Rav a cure for the evil inclination?

Answer: Not entirely, you must feel your illness and realize that you want to get rid of it. For this, you need to change your attitude toward your friends and the Creator from negative to positive. Then everything will be corrected, and you will feel how the world changes.

Congress: A Desire to Build a Temple

945Question: Will we create a Temple for the light of the Creator to enter at the Congress?

Answer: Yes, this is what we want. It is why we gather—to create a unified desire between us in which there will be no transition from one to the other, but everything will be one.

Then in this unified desire, the Creator can be revealed. This is what we need.

Above Life and Death

712.03Question: You described negative phenomena that we will reveal in the future due to lack of unification. But I have a feeling of trust, a kind of calmness. Is it because I am in this community or is it because we are such egoists that we do not care about the whole world?

Answer: No, we are simply acquiring connection with the upper force that is leading us forward. We understand that nothing could be worse than breaking this connection. Whatever happens, I am connected to it. This is the most important. It is above life and death.

Soon you will feel that you have gotten rid of this part of your life, and then what?

Meaning, you will not feel a great loss in the fact that the body will die. You will have such a point—not just a point—it will already contain a Kli, it will have its own life, and you will begin to identify yourself with it and not with the body.

Naturally you will stop looking at life the way other people do. This will come to you very quickly. I think many already have that feeling.

A Corrected Ten

938.04Question: What ensures that a ten in mutual integration can carry out the work that the Creator expects from them?

Answer: A corrected ten is one that operates as a single entity. In it, each person fulfills their role, supports one another, and helps everyone reach their maximum capacity to integrate with each other.

This ten is constantly in a state of asking the Creator to give them more light for growth. By absorbing this light, they grow and draw closer to the Creator.

Questions about Spiritual Work—177

276.04For even a thief in hiding calls on the Creator. For this reason, it does not require Mochin de Gadlut to keep the branch from cutting from its root (Baal HaSulam, Letters, 18).

Question: What does this mean?

Answer: It means that even “a thief in hiding calls on the Creator,” thus, there is no need for the upper light to guard him so that he does not disconnect from the Creator.

Question: Religious people are born with the name of the Creator and live with it. How can I come to a state where there is none else besides Him and I begin to love without knowing who, just as they revere Him?

Answer: The thing is, there is a big difference between your path and theirs. The Creator Himself gradually brings you to Him and pulls you toward Him.

Question: How can I attract the force of overcoming and work only for the sake of the Creator?

Answer: You need to ask to be able to change what descends upon you from above through your desire.

Question: If I ask, while in Lo Lishma, about what will come of my work and I do it with the intention of annulling myself, is there room for a personal request here?

Answer: There is almost never room for a personal request. You can have a personal one only after you rise to the level of a common request.

Question: To reach the first spiritual degree, do we need to awaken a certain number of souls? How will this happen?

Answer: It will happen through the correction of those who have already been awakened.

Convention: At the Finish Line

936Question: We are at the finish line coming to the convention. Tens are working to their limit if I can put it that way. What is more important at this point: to connect strongly or to ask the Creator to connect us?

Answer: When do you think you will be able to achieve connection?

Comment: When we ask Him together.

My Response: That is exactly what needs to be done.

Comment: So it is essentially one action made up of two parts. Our goal is to connect, but we cannot do it on our own, so a prayer to Him arises.

My Response: Yes, you do so every day until you see that you are connected.

Question: Will the Creator let us know?

Answer: Of course.

How Can We Receive the Force of the Creator at a Convention?

940For this reason, at the time of the giving of the Torah, when they had no doubt that this was the voice of the Creator, it is called “seeing,” as it is written, “I and you shall have no [other Gods], we heard from the mouth of the Creator” (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 940, “The Point in the Heart”).

Gevura is the force of the Creator with which He influences us so that we receive strength from Him and can become bestowers.

This is an anti-egoistic force because the Creator is 100% anti-egoist. If we receive a little of this force from Him, we will also become anti-egoists to some extent, and to this extent we will be able to feel the upper world, the Creator, everything: infinity, eternity, perfection. Everything that is impossible to attain in egoism.

Question: At what point do we receive this force and begin to feel it?

Answer: Every day you advance a little. But for now, you do not feel it, like a newborn child who is growing but does not know that he is growing and only afterward begins to realize it more and more.

Question: How can we receive this force now at the congress? I really want to enter these sensations.

Answer: I understand you, but it is not easy. You must be so devoted to your friends so that the connection with them, and through them the connection with the Creator, becomes the most important thing in your life. You must take care that they succeed. Here you will have to open your heart and knead it a little to make it softer.
