What Is the Meaning of Life

Posted on December 24th, 2025

Question: You have spent your whole life studying the meaning of life. But isn’t the meaning of life different for each person? After all, our entire life depends on our upbringing and environment, and therefore, our decisions and thoughts depend on our lived experience. If altruistic goals were initially embedded in us, how would we live, and what would that give us?

Answer: First of all, the meaning of life is not to live, then find its meaning, and then die. The meaning of life must be understood already at the beginning of life.

Question: So is the meaning of life still different for everyone?

Answer: Everyone has their own meaning of life even if it is common to all. We are all like small animals with very similar qualities. There is nothing special in anyone or anything.

There is one nature that truly has the meaning of life, which is to correctly bring itself to the next state, to rise to the next level, and to raise us there as well.

We must understand where our evolution is heading in order to rise to this level and not cross into it the way it usually happens in nature, through various cataclysms that we are facing now.

Let us ensure that this transition does not occur in such extreme, abrupt, dramatic situations. We are in a crisis, standing before a wall in science, in the arts, in human society, in communication with one another, between generations, everywhere.

Question: Is it precisely now, before this wall that the question of the meaning of life arises?

Answer: Yes, and it must be clarified. This is very important. This is what the science of Kabbalah deals with. That is why it is being revealed to everyone and is offering itself to humanity.

Question: So the meaning of nature’s life is to bring us to this question, and the meaning of human life is to clarify this question. What, then, is the meaning of life?

Answer: The meaning of life is to rise by oneself to the next evolutionary level. Just as we have always ascended automatically at the levels of inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature, now, being at the human level, we must rise to the next, higher level.

Call it spiritual, although it has nothing to do with religions. It is existence in the spirit, in the inner meaning of a person, when one reveals the upper world within oneself.

If we can rise above the nature that exists within us, we will begin to sense a completely different world.

Question: Does this mean that until today we were led by our egoism, which has now reached its limit, and now we must live not egoistically?

Answer: We must rise to the next level but no longer by means of egoism. We must do so with the help of a special force of nature called the light, which we must draw upon ourselves. It corrects us, changes us, and makes us similar to the next, higher level.

The Jar of Oil—A Single Desire

Posted on December 24th, 2025

Question: What kind of “jar of oil” exists in the ten right now? How can this be checked?

Answer: This is something that needs to be worked on. If you form a single desire to be connected with one another and direct it toward the Creator right now, then you will feel it. This will be your common desire.

And then you must make it so that this desire senses itself, and you will feel how much it is connected to the Creator.

Nature Will Force Us to Correct Ourselves

Posted on December 23rd, 2025

Question: Will nature, the Creator, put so much pressure on a person, but not allow him to die, that he will be ready to listen to the Kabbalists?

Answer: It is written in the Prophets, especially in Ezekiel, that merciful mothers will cook their children and eat them. That is one scenario. The second scenario is to take the method of correction and begin correcting oneself to resemble nature.

In principle, you understand that egoism develops. On one hand, there is the light; on the other hand, there is egoism, which gradually develops, becomes increasingly opposite to the light, and senses this opposition as various kinds of suffering: illnesses, many kinds of blows on the personal, social, political, and economic levels, at any level.

And to what extent will these sufferings continue? You will not be allowed to commit suicide; you must change your life. Nature will not give you this option; it will not allow you to succumb to drugs or something else. This is a temporary phenomenon.

You will not be able to use drugs. They will be lying next to you and you could take them, swallow them, and feel better. But “I can’t.” But you are suffering, aren’t you? “No, I cannot take it.”

Nature will force us to realize that we are opposite to it, that we are against the Creator. Like in Egypt with Pharaoh, something must be done; we must escape our egoism in order to soften this path and not climb the ladder of suffering within an ever-growing egoism.

We cannot reduce egoism; we cannot in any way limit its growth. And what can you do? You can only begin to correct it. The method of correction is Kabbalah. It shows you how, with the help of the force of the Creator, with the help of the light, to change the egoism. You have no other way out.

Only for this reason, we, those who have this method, must spread Kabbalah throughout the entire world as quickly as possible by any means. This is our task.

The Main Choice

Posted on December 23rd, 2025

Question: The miracle of Hanukkah is the miracle of bestowal. But the stopping on the spiritual path looks more like deciding what we want to receive.

At what point does it become clear to us that it is precisely the ten that has decided to stop and choose the correct direction?

Answer: When we connect together in our desire, we form a very strong Kli. And here, there is an opportunity to vary. What does it mean to vary? In what way do I want to receive, what do I want to receive, and how.

We only need to gather together and try, each of us, to determine what is the most important thing in our movement. What do we ask of the Creator? In what way would we like to receive from Him what we wish to receive? This is our main choice.

I think that today we are closer than ever to solving the problem by uniting as one whole, women and men from all corners of the world, and being able to receive from the upper light that part of it which would fill us.

From Hanukkah to Purim

Posted on December 23rd, 2025

Question: How do Kabbalists understand that it is time to move from Hanukkah to Purim?

Answer: These are completely different states. When you come to the conclusion that you must complete your mission in Hanukkah, then you will feel what this next state, Purim, is.

But this happens not according to your desire, but because this is how the rungs of the ladder of spiritual ascent are arranged.

To Be Filled with the Light of the Creator

Posted on December 23rd, 2025

So is the matter with Hanukah. This is the meaning of Hanu (parked), where the parking was not because of wholeness, meaning an illuminating mirror.

Rather, the parking was Ko (here/thus far), meaning incomplete, which is a mirror that does not illuminate. In other words, the war of the inclination is still not over, but we have to come to the real completeness (RABASH, Letter No. 26).

Question: As we ascend in our unity, do we ourselves determine this stopping point?

Answer: Yes. Gradually ascending the degrees, we begin to feel in what we are able to unite and in what we are not yet able to unite.

And thus we come to the point where all the vessels of bestowal (Kelim deHashpaa) and the vessels of reception (Kelim deKabbalah) ultimately unite in order to be in one action and to be filled with the light of the Creator.
