Question: If the Creator holds our heart in His hands, then what does “work in the heart” mean? What are we supposed to do?

Answer: First of all, we must feel that the Creator holds my heart in His hands and completely determines everything within it: all my desires, intentions, thoughts, and impulses, from the most terrifying to the most beautiful.

Once I have reached this state, the question arises: what can I attribute to myself? What would the Creator want me to do now with the heart that He has created within me? How can I rise correctly above my heart and recognize with gratitude that everything the Creator has done is solely for my benefit?

I need to identify what the problems in my heart are. And I can define what a correct heart is only if it is created by the group instead of the Creator.

I must exist between two forces. One force is bad, evil, that is the Creator. He Himself admits: “I created evil.” On the other hand, He created the group, the light called the “Torah,” which I receive through the group to correct this evil. And I exist between these two forces.

The Creator holds my evil heart, which He deliberately created, so that I would find Him, the true Him, through the group. I must create such a state within myself and live in it. In this state, I myself become like the middle part of the Sefira Tiferet, the “Klipat Noga,” where on one side are the evil forces held by the Creator. After all, it is not in vain that He says: “Go to Pharaoh, for I have hardened his heart.”

And on the other side is His good force, called “light,” the “Torah,” through which I perform correction. But I correct the evil force using the good force in such a way that I constantly exist in balance between them, and this is how I advance.

Advancement always takes place in the middle line. My dark left line is constantly renewed, and therefore I constantly need the right line, a stronger connection with the group, and more light.

This is exactly how one should imagine the relationship between me, the group, and the Creator.

The Creator does not initially play a positive role. Initially, He is the destroyer, the creator of evil within us so that He can later teach us how to do everything correctly, like a mother who steps away from her child and gives him a chance to learn to walk.
