If we prove incapable of awakening the world to spiritual advancement so that a light shines for it ahead, then suffering will begin to push it from behind, forcing it to advance. And this is a very long path until suffering compels a person to think about what to do and why he is suffering. Imagine how much time and suffering this requires! If, however, we contribute even a little to development by disseminating the wisdom of Kabbalah, we quickly awaken development and avoid all these blows.

It is known that everything that occurs on the still (inanimate) level is equivalent to a single action on the vegetative level. Everything that occurs on the vegetative level is equivalent to a single action on the animate level. Just imagine this difference between the degrees!

Wars, suffering, and terrible catastrophes must occur in order to move us even one step higher to the next degree. And instead of this, we can draw the upper light and avoid all these problems on the level of this world!

Ten years full of suffering can be replaced by one tiny personal movement toward spiritual development with the help of the light! Such is the difference between the degrees of the still, vegetative, animate, and human levels. Therefore, we must relate with full responsibility to the opportunities given to us.
