Arvut is a force that grants the ability to annul oneself, that is, to subdue one’s will to receive and accept the opinion of the group.

Question: But how can one come to Arvut without first performing annulment?

Answer: In myself and in the group there is no power to accept this force called Arvut. But through our effort aimed at making it happen, we draw the surrounding light from above upon ourselves.

Where do we draw it from? From that state in which we are already united with each other at the end of correction, whether we are on the first or the third stage. Through our yearning, the surrounding light comes precisely from there. And only with its help do we begin to rise.

Naturally, neither in the individual nor in the group is there such a force. That is why we speak of a “readiness” for this to happen, and then the light shines from there.

Question: Does Arvut mean that we are guarantors for one another through the Creator?

Answer: Of course, Arvut is given by the Creator. This is what distinguishes a group that advances toward correction from a group that may resemble Sodom or other kinds of communities.
