Question: Every desire to receive is a Reshimo [spiritual record] from the withdrawal of the light in which we receive the letters of the Torah. Is this a feeling of fulfillment or a feeling of new emptiness from coming closer to the Creator?

Answer: I think it is emptiness that presses on a person and drives them toward the Creator.

Question: It is said that when the people of Israel gathered at Mount Sinai, they had one intention and one thought. Does that mean we unite in intention and thought even before receiving the Torah?

Answer: No, before receiving the Torah, we cannot unite in intention and thought.

But this is already a step forward. People begin to feel how the Creator corrects them, and how they gradually draw closer to one another into one body, one heart.
