Comment: You say that you are an ordinary person. But at the same time, you are prominent. Many people know you and many admire you.

My Response: But I hope they do not attribute this to me because I do not feel like that at all. In Kabbalah, the main actor is the Creator, not the one who represents Him. In some way, I am like His representative, but nothing more than that, let’s say a clerk, a representative of the office of the Creator.

So look at me, and I don’t think people will look at me closely for long. After all, through me (I would, of course, like it to be this way) they will be observing the one who stands behind me. I tell them about someone, not about myself; I show someone, not myself. I constantly direct them toward Him, and I step aside so that they can see Him, so to speak.

I am not an actor who exhibits himself: “Look how I am dressed! Look how I performed!” On the contrary! Maybe that is why I lack the sense of personal importance; I am always looking at the Creator and inviting you to do the same. We are always talking about Him!

Comment: But many people look at you with misty eyes, almost as if looking at God.

My Response: This is a temporary phenomenon. Every person has such a period when he is very “small” and looks at someone higher with deification. And then it passes.

At least with my behavior, my communication, and my external appearances, I try to erase the feeling of personal importance or exclusivity, and show that spirituality can be achieved by each and every one.
