Question: In the war against the evil inclination, we are essentially fighting against the will of the Master, the Creator, of this desire. After all, the desire to receive is a function entirely controlled by Him. So does that mean that fighting the evil inclination actually means fighting the Creator who made it? How then can we fight Him?

Answer: By asking the Creator to help us overcome our evil inclination.

The Creator made it by His external action so that through this external action we would come to an internal one.

Question: What does it mean that I go to war against the evil inclination?

Answer: It means you want to fight all those thoughts and desires that are against unity, against rising toward the Creator; you want to erase them and not to listen to them.

Question: Our work is regular, according to a schedule: the lesson, Zoom meetings, and dissemination. What can we add to this to truly turn it into a war against the evil inclination?

Answer: That depends on your thoughts and on your goals, on whether you will actually do something or not. And if you do, then with what intention and how it will be expressed.

That is why the war against the evil inclination within us is never-ending. The Creator waits until we become convinced of this. Only then can we genuinely ask Him to pull us out, to free us, from the power of the evil inclination over us.

That is, Tzava [army] are men of war. These are people who go each day to fight the evil inclination. They are called “army” (Rabash, Article No. 6, “What Is Above Reason in the Work?”).

Question: We usually say that a person fights with his evil inclination, with his egoism—that is, I am fight. But here it is talking about an army, that is, about some kind of unification. What turns me or us into an army?

Answer: It is your connection with your friends. When you unite with each other with the desire to go against your evil inclination, egoism, and in spite of it, mutually strive toward each other, it turns out that the group, the ten, defeats the evil inclination.

Question: Does this mean that we are fighting some kind of collective, unified egoism?

Answer: Yes, united egoism is the egoism of all of you, your group, and those who are connecting to it. But in spite of it, you need to strive toward the goal. And the goal is only in connection, in merging of all of us with each other.

Question: Should we now, in our time, strengthen ourselves and address Him as the Creator of armies? If so, then what is that?

Answer: We must strive for connection between us, when everyone feels it as the most important thing. And the fact is that a person feels himself as a separated unit, detached from others, that is no longer important to him. We must strive for the feeling of each other in connection with others.

Question: What is your opinion on the claim that there is a suicide gene? They say American scientists have identified 22 suicide-related genes. Does this gene really exist? Do you believe it has an effect?

Answer: As far as a gene, I do not know, I am not an expert in that field. But a predisposition to it certainly exists. The Japanese have it, and there are other peoples and tribes, or historical periods when it appears, and so on.

Question: And how can one supposedly overcome this predisposition or gene?

Answer: With the meaning of life.

Question: Meaning? Only the search for meaning?

Answer: Only that. What else is there? The meaning of life and its correct realization are leading you to a new life even now. You do not need to die or imagine anything. You can see your future world already in this life. It is right in front of you; it only depends on the correct realization.

Question: Can you tell us what the meaning of life is?

Answer: The meaning of life is to change one’s nature from receiving to bestowing, from hatred to love, from rejection to rapprochement with others. Then within these qualities, you will feel an entirely different form of existence. It will be an opposite world.

You will find fulfillment in the act of fulfilling others. And in that, there will be no disappointment.

Comment: It would be wonderful if a person could really live like that!

My Response: We will reach that.
