There Is No Reaching the Goal Without Clarification

278.03Question: Thanks to you, I have faith. Thanks to our shared work in the ten, we draw the light that returns to the source (the reforming light), which will correct us in the future. We invest in this every day, and you help us tremendously.

But why are we not advancing? What are we doing wrong? Maybe we are doing it egoistically, for our own sake? What is the reason?

Answer: If you were given the correct answer to this, you would stop asking and stop striving for it. This is, in principle, what is said in the “Introduction to The Study of the Ten Sefirot.

Baal Sulam writes, And RASHI interprets there: “You have created the righteous through the good inclination; You have created the wicked through the evil inclination. Hence, none are saved from Your hand, for who holds You down? Coerced are the sinners.”  And what did the friends of Job reply? “Indeed, you revoke fear and impair prayer before God; the Creator created the evil inclination, He has created for it the Torah as a spice” (Job 15).

RASHI interprets there: “Created for it the Torah,” which is a spice that revokes “thoughts of transgression,” as it is said, “If you come across this villain, pull him to the seminary. If he is a stone, he will soften. Hence, not coerced are they, for they could save themselves” (Kidushin, p 30).

That is, we are obliged to do this. Every phrase here is very important. Without this, it is impossible to reach the goal.

The First Slice of Education

566.01We must invest in education. Only education! Otherwise, nothing will change in the world.

Question: Are you saying the most respected job for a person is an educator?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What does one rear in others?

Answer: He must explain to people in every possible way what the thought of creation is. That only in fulfilling the thought of creation can a person achieve happiness.

Question: What do you mean by “thought of creation?” Should one attain this thought of creation?

Answer: He must attain it.

Question: The educator himself?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And then pass it on to others?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is the thought of creation and what should he convey to people?

Answer: When a person does good to others, he becomes fulfilled and rejoices.

Question: What do you mean by doing good?

Answer: Doing good means filling the other with what he or she desires.

Comment: But one has many different desires.

My Response: No! It depends on the upbringing. One should be educated to be satisfied with a normal minimal fulfillment.

Question: We need to clarify this. To educate a person so he has reasonable requests, not needing something big, billions, and so on? And then what? So, I live like this, on what is necessary.

Answer: And to feel that if others come to this, it would be the ultimate happiness.

Question: For people to be happy with necessities, not asking for more or beyond? Is that what you call proper education?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Do you want to elaborate, say something elevated?

Answer: When I cut bread, I slice it. This is the first slice.

Comment: Then we will stop at the first slice.

I Don’t Tell the Whole Truth

95Comment: An Englishman, Brendon Grimshaw, bought a small uninhabited island in the Seychelles for £8,000. He bred over 100 giant tortoises, which can live only there, and more than 2,000 species of birds. Many times, people attempted to buy the island for more than 50 million dollars. With that money, Brendon could have afforded anything he wished, yet he refused to sell the island. He said: “I don’t want the island to become a luxury playground for the rich. Better that it becomes a national park for everyone.”

My Response: All of this is good. There are people who take pleasure in such things. But what is the meaning?

Question: If one brings joy to others, is that considered meaningful?

Answer: It is the meaning of our life if our life has a meaning.

Comment: But this man wants to bring joy to others, so they can visit and enjoy such a place.

My Response: A good man.

Question: And who, in your view, is truly a good person?

Answer: Someone wise, strong, capable of lifting a human being above the boundary between life and death, so that he may attain the upper force, the Creator. Otherwise, what meaning is there?

Question: So a person must be a tremendous egoist, greater than the whole of humanity, in order to lead others to the goal?

Answer: Yes, all of his other qualities exist precisely in order to include people in this goal.

Question: And how does such a person know that he is leading toward the right goal?

Answer: He must be a special person.

Question: And what is the right goal?

Answer: The right goal is the connection of all people above their egoism, above everything that separates them. All people, this is the total, highest connection of all humanity.

And if this goal truly stands before a person, then we can use it as a “spaceship” and fly anywhere we want, to such an “island” somewhere in the “Pacific Ocean” of the universe, where everything is already prepared for us.

Question: And take not just a small group, but all of humanity?

Answer: Of course.

Question: This must be the goal?

Answer: Precisely this goal of all humanity.

In principle, we can achieve this right here. Why fly somewhere? To some island in the Pacific? Why? We can turn the entire Earth into such an island. Otherwise, look at what is happening. We are already in a state where nothing may remain except a few tiny islands! It is very alarming.

Question: Perhaps that is why Kabbalists have always seemed too sharp, too harsh, too direct to outsiders?

Answer: They have no other mode of expression. They speak the truth and soften it, but even so, to the average person their language seems very harsh. “People don’t speak this way. One should speak gently, democratically, liberally, more about love.”

And what do you say? “If you do not do this, then, unfortunately, you will die. The glaciers will flood you; the sun will scorch you, and so on. You see where you are heading.”

Question: To crises and so on?

Answer: Yes, otherwise, there will be nothing. Nothing! We must clearly understand that a very strict law of nature is before us and it is beginning to enter its true realization. I am frightened for humanity.

Question: So we must bring them out of this state by any means?

Answer: Who could have imagined a year ago that the ecological situation would change so drastically? Ice caps are melting, there are hurricanes, earthquakes, everything, and humanity does not care. It is like in a drunken stupor. “We carry on. We don’t care. We fear nothing.”

Question: You believe that soothing humanity is harmful?

Answer: If I see a sick person before me, and I see that one path leads him directly to the grave, and another will let him live and develop, how can I not say something?

That is why Kabbalists speak correctly and accurately. But even then, only to the extent that people can hear them without shutting their ears.

Question: So they still soften it? Meaning, you also do not tell the whole truth?

Answer: No. I cannot.

Question: Is it important to you that people hear you? Do you think they will?

Answer: I have no choice, I must do this. I have no other option. I live in constant disappointment, on the one hand, and constant tension, striving, and inspiration on the other. You can see both states in me at the same time. And what can you do?

Question: What gives you inspiration given the state of the world today?

Answer: I work. This is my work. And its reward is that there is no reward! No reward at all!

Why do I do it? That is an entirely different story.
