Comment: Einstein’s quotes are quite simple and at the same time very deep. Please comment, what exactly he means.
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
My Response: Only in this case can you achieve true success. It is not by comparing yourself with other people, but by comparing yourself with nature: how you can truly reveal it, know it, and be in harmony with it. To be in harmony with nature, that is the meaning of life.
If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.
My Response: There is really nothing to add here; it is so true. Not to things, of course. And not to people, because people themselves are tied to things.
That means you must detach yourself from everything, determine your upper goal, and strive only toward it. At the same time, try somehow to explain to others, to direct them toward the same goal. This is what Einstein did all his life.
The only thing that interferes with my learning is the education I received.
My Response: Any education, in principle, confines a person within certain boundaries, not letting him break free from them.
But on the other hand, you cannot do without it. Yet, you must somehow act so that education does not limit you. This is what is meant by the saying: “Train a child according to his way.” Guide him in such a way that he develops himself.
A question that sometimes drives me hazy: am I or are the others crazy?
My Response: It is better to say that I am crazy. Well, what would change because of that?
Still, I believe that my “madness” will contribute something to the world, somehow shake it, someday help, leaving such a mark that people will then find it easier to reach the goal of creation.
Question: In this case, are you speaking about yourself?
Answer: Of course. How else could I speak in his place?
Comment: Let’s be honest; people consider you not crazy, but not quite reasonable, not understanding what is going on.
My Response: I do not understand what is going on? On the contrary, I am ready to talk with anyone. Politicians and scientists come through this studio.
Comment: But your proposals that we need to change man discourage them. “He cannot be changed!” they say.
My Response: Yes, they are right, by our corporeal methods. In this, I fully agree with them.
But there is another method by which man and humanity can be changed. Here, nothing can be done, we will be obliged to do it. Otherwise, on the brink of death, humanity will agree anyway.

Question: What should I do in order to feel the importance and greatness of the Creator coming from the friends?
Answer: You must respect a friend for the qualities he has, for the fact that he reveals himself in the group, and then you will begin to receive through him the light of the Creator.
Question: And who gives me this importance of the Creator? The Creator? Or is it my own effort?
Answer: The Creator begins, but you complete it. At the basis of these actions lies prayer.
Question: How do I gather it so that it becomes a true prayer, and not just me whining and complaining?
Answer: Think about it. Think about it all the time.

The ARI writes that it is not adhered to the light of Ein Sof, meaning that the form of the circular light of Keter of the circles is not the same as the light in Ein Sof (Baal HaSulam “The Study of the Ten Sefirot” Vol. 1, Part 2, Chapter 1, No. 9).
Question: What is a round light?
Answer: A round light is different from any other (light) and is bound to its source. That is exactly what the Ari wants to say.
Question: Why does he call the Igulim (circles) “Sefirot” and not “Behinot“?
Answer: It is completely irrelevant now. “Sefirot” and “Behinot” are the names we use for the individual levels in each Partzuf.

Comment: All this propaganda and gaslighting penetrates every nook and cranny. It is the psychological manipulation of a person that makes him doubt the correctness of his own thoughts and leads to a loss of confidence and dependence on the manipulator.
My Response: This gaslighting wants to explain to a person that they are being controlled. In general. And a person should feel that he controls himself. And then there is a single combat between a person and someone who encroaches on his independence.
Question: Is this really an attack?
Answer: Yes! What else! This is enslavement. Well, what can you do? Such is the world.
Comment: Basically we see that almost 90 percent or more are subject to enslavement.
My Response: And they want it!
Question: So a person should resist this, simply not want it to the death?
Answer: He should not do that! He just needs to understand that he can be subjected to such an attack, and that he will no longer have freewill after that. And to avoid this, he must build himself up.
Question: Let’s talk about this a little. What kind of core is this in a person that he must build in himself?
Answer: To do to yourself what others want to do with you. That is, others want to impose their point of view, worldview, and attitude to the world on you, and you build it all yourself!
Question: So he is ahead of them and building himself up?
Answer: Yes. Moreover, he is so much ahead of them that he can fight them. He can put a wall between himself and them. That is what we need to understand.
Question: What does it consist of? What exactly is this wall made of?
Answer: This wall consists of confidence in my own method of building the world in me the way I want it to be. And everything.
Question: Which wall can withstand it? What kind of world should I build to make it stand?
Answer: It is as materialistic as possible, which will resist any attempts to crack this inner world of a person.
Question: Is this possible only for strong people, or is almost everyone capable of it?
Answer: No, I do not think everyone is capable of it. But in principle, this can be taught, and people can be pulled out of dependence, out of such a semi-underground, slave state.
Comment: You and I can see that the world is under it today.
My Response: Today, absolutely everyone is in a state where they are being controlled: thoughts, pictures, points of view, and so on, are being imposed. Humanity generally goes, of course… Crawls back into the caves.
Comment: Then still, if you say so, there is a possibility to build a wall.… And I will tell you something else; there is a very interesting observation. There are millions of views on the Internet about those who have gone somewhere, to some kind of hermitage. Someone went to the taiga and has been living there for 20 years, 30 years. One. One person leaves, and that is it, he leaves people. And people are watching and writing comments: “I wish I could.”
My Response: Yes, but it is not easy.
Comment: It is not easy. But this wall was built by some. And you are offering in an active world…
My Response: Absolutely active, without changing anything, only inside yourself.
Question: And yet, you do not say what it might be? Is that what it is? How to do it? Give me some practical advice.
Answer: I don’t know. I have built such a wall in me. It is as if I have fenced myself off from the world, from everyone. I live inside myself quietly, alone. No one suspects that I live like this.
Comment: It is interesting! Tens, hundreds of thousands of students, and you say, “This is how I live.”
My Response: That does not matter.
Comment: So, share the secret.
My Response: The secret is very simple. I build this world within myself, and therefore, even if I am in conflict with the world that is being imposed on me, this contradiction does not oppress me, does not fight with me. I just dismiss it and continue.
Question: Can you tell us at least a little bit about what it is like there, in that world?
Answer: In that world, I am the king. And I serve the great Creator. That is all. Everything is very simple.
Question: It is easy to say, but it is not easy. But I really want to go to such a world. Do you have any advice on how to get into it, into this world?
Answer: To crawl through.
Question: How?
Answer: It needs to be built. A person must build it in himself. And when he builds it, he discovers that, yes it can be done, it must be done, and it will be forever.
Question: Is it both safety and peace?
Answer: It absolutely covers everything! This is the kingdom of the great king.
Question: The great king. But is He the king?
Answer: Yes, but you are building for Him.
Question: Are you building this for Him? And then you find yourself in it? For Him to rule there?
Answer: For me to rule everything for Him.

Question: Why is it said that light is at absolute rest if our entire path is accompanied by the light entering desire and exiting it?
Answer: The absolute rest of the upper light is its constant change with infinite frequency! The “unchangeability” of light means its rest, constancy in achieving a single goal, for it always performs only actions that lead to it. Its absolute rest lies in the fact that it does not change this goal, but acts toward it with infinite speed.
For us, rest means not getting entangled along the path, but striving in one direction and seeking for thousands of ways to advance there, keeping intensity and applying efforts. And all this is called absolute rest because I see a single goal before me.
Light enters into desire and exits it, and every moment its infinite number of actions take place. But if a person is in the quality of bestowal, then he feels all these various actions as eternal rest!
