Kabbalists are not planning a nationwide return to religion so everyone stands in line to put on tefillin. None of us even think in this direction. Especially regarding the nations of the world. Even if they become corrected, will they also have to fulfill all these commandments? Of course not!

Baal HaSulam writes that a person can even remain in his religion, as it has nothing to do with what we do. All these things are carried out only spiritually anyway: in relation, intention, and one’s inner connection with the Creator.

It may not be easy to explain this, but it depends on the measure of internal, personal suffering and the degree of general, collective suffering. If we actually reach a state where we have to take it upon ourselves, this will serve as our internal preparation, and people will hear this and understand we have nowhere else to look for help.

This is called a cry to the Creator. This is a prayer, raising MAN—all this is, in fact, the same thing. You have no choice, you must. This is how a person who is in pain, who has a seriously ill loved one—his inner concern, his fear, his anxiety is about it. This is surely revealed in him. These things, in general, correct his state, and we see this is how it is.

What does it mean, they correct it? Of course, they do not correct anything, but they lead to correction coming from above.

Question: You said it is possible to test how much you can use the desire to receive for the sake of bestowal. How can I draw this line to use one part of the desire for bestowal and not the other?

Answer: This can only be done based on our work, from our efforts.

Question: How can I use part of the joy for the sake of my friends, for the sake of the Creator, but not for myself?

Answer: I see that I can work with such pleasures that I receive in order to bring joy to my friends. That is clear to me.

Therefore when the Creator demands certain actions from me, I can do it: I can receive for His sake.

Talks about the Steps of the Ladder, Part 151

Why Is It Written That We Must Pray in a Clear Language?

It means that the scrutinies we make in our desire must be clear and understandable to us. Of course, it is not because the Creator does not understand the prayer, as if He were hard of hearing or does not understand Hebrew, and so we need to say the prayer word by word, letter by letter, with special pronunciation.

“Clear language” means that our desire must be clarified to such an extent that it will truly be considered a prayer. We do not need to verify this against the Creator, but against ourselves. This is because every degree that we fully scrutinize immediately transforms into a higher degree. We will remain on a certain degree as long as we have not completely clarified it, as long as we do not yet deeply recognize our own desire.

Question: How can I gain the strength to remain in intention 24 hours a day?

Answer: A group can obligate you, not by force, but through influence. It can make you want this; you will think about it day and night, and this idea simply will not leave you.

Question: In an elevated state, I can still maintain such an intention, but what should I do when there is no desire?

Answer: You must begin to live within intention, rather than through actions. It is a different dimension: I do not live by actions and relationships; I live inside the intention! Me and the Creator—how do I relate to Him? To remain in this intention at all times.

If you enter such a state for the full 24 hours, it means you cross the Machsom and enter the spiritual world. After all, the spiritual world is your attitude toward the Creator based on your intention toward Him.

Of course, when this happens, you are filled with something entirely different, your concerns shift; you live by this! So do not be afraid!

Then, whether you are studying, eating, drinking, indulging in material pleasures, whatever it may be, you remain in this intention. We are capable of this. I promise that it will happen.
