The festival of Shavuot—the time of the giving of our Torah—is approaching. He means that the Creator is clothed in the heart, meaning that at that time the Torah dresses in the hearts of each and every one from the whole of Israel (RABASH, Letter No. 52).
The Torah clothes itself in a person’s heart, that is, one feels that in these days there is a connection with the Creator unlike any experienced at other times. In these days, the Creator draws near to His people, and everyone feels that this is a holiday.
If we do not feel the holiday, then we must open our hearts and receive what can be attained in these days in order to feel that the Creator dwells within His people. If the holiday is barely felt, we should examine what is lacking in our preparation for it, that is, in our readiness to receive the Torah.
When the Torah clothes itself in the heart and a person feels the light of the Torah within, he begins to fulfill the Torah according to this inner clothing. Meaning, the will of the Creator enters a person’s heart, and now the heart itself compels one to fulfill the Torah with love and joy.
If, during all the days from Passover to Shavuot, we prepare ourselves to receive the Torah, then on this holiday we will be ready to accept it. Initially, the human heart is egoistic, but it transforms through the states one goes through and ultimately comes closer to what the Creator demands of it. This is what it means that the Torah clothes itself in the heart of a person.
The sign that a person is ready to receive the Torah is one’s willingness to open one’s heart and receive all the light that comes to him or her to feel how the Creator settles within one’s heart.
It is said that when the people gathered at the foot of Mount Sinai, the Creator gave them a condition: either you accept the Torah or this will be your burial place. In other words, a choice is set before them: either cleave to the Creator or remain in separation; it is time to choose. And we choose unity and connection, and thanks to this decision, the holiday arrives!

Question: Where does advancement from our current state begin?
Answer: We do not need to change any of our actions; we are only required to give all the actions we perform in life the correct direction. That will be the difference.
A person does not perform bad or good deeds; his desires remain as they were and must receive their fulfillment. Just as Malchut was filled before the first restriction, so it will be filled at the end of correction. The first restriction acts only in order to build an intention for the sake of bestowal upon each desire.
That is, a person should not be thinking about his actions at all. When educating him, we do not forbid anything; we only teach how to connect with the Creator. If a person wants to establish a connection with the Creator, then adhesion is his final state, and now he must find a foothold for that connection; that is his current goal.
This is exactly what we teach him: how to grab hold of the “end of the rope,” how to ascend along it continuously. This ascent by the “rope” of intentions is called the spiritual ascent through the ladder from world to world until he reaches 100% intention, 100% connection.
As for a person’s desires, the essence of his actions will change according to the intention; yet the actions themselves will remain the same as before. Will he no longer eat or drink? Will he not reproduce or work?
Everything will remain as it was. Simply, based on the intention, he will naturally calibrate his actions. And in doing so, he will not have to restrain himself. This will occur because his inner world will establish a new relationship between thoughts and actions and filter them, but only from within his internal development, without any external suppression from us or anyone else.
We see how useless suppression is. What can the police do? What can all the prisons in the world achieve? Absolutely nothing! Education can rely only on personal example and should serve solely to give a person a connection to the upper force from which he will then receive everything. And only then, thanks to this, will the person change.
It is impossible to change a person by any other means. We have already seen all possible methods throughout history, and not one of them has worked—not a single one! Because aside from the change of intention, there is nothing else we need to do in the entire universe.

Question: If a person tries to carry out spiritual work in thought and action, but the heart remains deaf, a feeling arises that some kind of heaviness is constantly happening there.
How can I unite with the others from within this heaviness in the heart? What should I do to make use of this opportunity?
Answer: You must find the point of connection with the common group, with the common Kli. And from there you will begin to feel yourself in the center of that group. There you will receive answers.
Question: Am I searching for this common point through prayer?
Answer: Yes, the prayer is there as well.

Question: Is fear of the Creator equal to the measure of difference in qualities between me and Him? How can I stop being afraid of the Creator?
Answer: It is very simple. Start talking to Him. That is the easiest thing.
Question: And how can I hear the answer?
Answer: How to hear the answer? That is already a problem. If you strive for Him to hear you, from that you will understand what you need to do in order to hear Him.

Question: How did you reach such a high degree of love among the greatest friends? What did you pay for it?
Answer: With my free time. I filled all my free time with the study of Kabbalah—The Book of Zohar, The Study of the Ten Sefirot, the original Kabbalistic sources, that is the entire secret.

Why Do Man and Woman Together Bear Male and Female Offspring, and Not Each Their Own Kind?
Man and woman together bear both male and female because each degree includes both aspects. Through their coupling, they produce the next degree. In the next degree, there is again a split between male and female, two opposing sides, “a help against Him,” until they find a correction where they cling together, and through their adhesion, they give birth to another degree, the next state. In every new state that we enter, we discover these two opposing elements of male and female, and begin to unite them.
We find within ourselves the discernments called “woman” (female desires). We correct these desires toward the goal, which is an act called “male.” “Male” refers to the Creator within us, the bestowing part. We make a coupling (Zivug) between the two, and thereby give birth to their next state. In the next state, we go through the same process. These are the inner reincarnations we undergo. We can sit in a lesson for just a few hours and go through thousands of reincarnations, from generation to generation, parents to children, and it all carries out within us.
