Questions about Spiritual Work—238

231.04Question: We often hear that to win the war against the evil inclination, we must come to the correct connection. What is the correct connection?

Answer: The correct connection between us is one in which no one tries to stand out, but rather, each one wants to push others toward unity.

Question: What does it mean that the world will become transparent?

Answer: It means that we will directly feel our connection with others as something we understand and feel and that this connection will stand before us as the highest achievement for each of us.

Question: Can we say that the problem between conflicting sides is that neither side recognizes the hand of the Creator, His governance in the actions of the other, and that in this perception, both sides are mutually connected?

Answer: Of course. But the point is that we must make this clear to everyone, and that all people should come to feel what we must all do together in order to reach a common result. That is what we need to discover, understand, and accept.

Question: Does true spiritual work happen not through a stable Kli, but in the moment when its form is lost and only the intention to reach the light remains? Is this the annulment of the form before the birth of something new?

Answer: No, it is not exactly as you put it. But it will gradually take shape under the influence of the general light that we awaken.

If a Friend Is Weak

938.01Question: Can we fight the evil inclination instead of a friend who has weakened and fallen?

Answer: Practically, no. You must be very connected to each other and replace each other in all circumstances. Then in the lower states when you disconnect and distance from each other, you will also be able to make up for him. But that will be later.

Question: How can we help a friend until he enters the battlefield?

Answer: Invite him to participate in this work with us.

There Is Nothing Better than Being in a Ten

275Question: A new friend recently joined us. We sincerely wanted her to become part of the ten. But after some time, she began criticizing our work. She started pointing out how things should be done “correctly,” and eventually announced that she wanted to leave. What should we do? Should we try to keep her?

Answer: I do not think you should try to keep her. If she is criticizing your work and wants to leave, let her go.

Nevertheless, you must clarify things among yourselves and understand that there is nothing better than being in the ten and constantly rising together with the ten. The path you take and the questions you discuss are not so important. What matters is that you have a common intention toward unity among you and with her, and in this way, move forward together.

Strive to Bestow to the Creator

938.02Question: Does the depth of connection with the Creator correspond to the depth of connection with the friends?

Answer: We feel depth to the extent that we are in connection with the friends, and to that same extent we can channel it toward the Creator.

Then we will be on the same “wavelength” with Him: we as receivers and He as the bestower.

Question: You said that we must strive to bestow to the Creator through the ten. How can we discern which actions are bestowal and which are receiving from the Creator?

Answer: Act according to how you understand it. That will still lead you to the correct connection between you and the Creator.

The Question of Overcoming

938.07Question: It is written that we should always be in overcoming. Then there is a question whether my path is correct when I work with a group, with a ten, and all of a sudden I feel pleasure and enjoyment. Does it mean that I am making a mistake and that on the contrary, I have to find paths where I have to overcome something? Is this correct?

Answer: It is correct if you feel that you constantly want to be fulfilled with the light of the Creator to a greater degree. At the same time, you will be in connection with your friends because they give you strength and their volume that you can fulfill like a conductor of the light from the Creator to them. In this way everyone will rise.

Question: Then what do I overcome?

Answer: You overcome your egoism that pulls you down.

The Mighty Hand of the Creator

938.05Why He has made the work of bestowal so hard was that He wanted the mighty hand to be revealed, as it is written, “for with a mighty hand he will send them, and with a mighty hand he will drive them out of his land” (RABASH, Article 14, “The Connection between Passover, Matza, and Maror“).

Question: What does it mean the Creator wanted to reveal a mighty hand?

Answer: The Creator gives us a certain power that distances us from Him, from the quality of bestowal, and similarity to the Creator, and we are in a state where we cannot do anything.

Once we slowly accumulate the forces of resistance, we each begin to work against them all. That is, I am in a certain ten—this is a must—and in it I must manifest myself as a bestower and gather everyone into one force.

Then, being in such a ten, we can strive to get closer to the Creator.

Not Only on the Battlefield

938.02Question: When we sing and dance as Rabash did, is that also a war against the evil inclination?

Answer: Of course, but it depends on what you are thinking about, why you are dancing, whether your heart wants to include all your friends.

In other words, clarify what force is born in this dance, in the embrace with your friends, what is it that you want to achieve through it. That is very important.
