Question: Should communication in a group be based on the right line?
Answer: In a group, we must constantly try to connect with the right line. It is a state where everyone awakens awareness of the greatness of the Creator, the importance of the goal, and the special nature and uniqueness of the group.
After everyone makes an effort, the gap between us and the surrounding light is revealed. If we really invest our strength correctly, we begin to feel the need for the Creator, and then, once He becomes revealed, we feel great joy.
Then everyone realizes how great it is to let another person feel how great the goal is, and they want to hear the same thing from their friend to realize how far they are from the goal. These two opposing points should always be before our eyes: how small I am and how great the Creator is.
But this feeling must be creative and constructive to turn it into a useful action. Only positive things should be revealed in the group.

Question: How can we understand that everything that depends on us is only the awareness of the state given to us, while everything else is determined from above? How can we make this understanding come faster?
Answer: As Rabash writes, we must sanctify the times: “Israel sanctifies the times.” This happens through striving to attain a higher-quality effort during the study.
Question: But we are doing this, are we not?
Answer: I do not know whether we are. This is something not so easy for a person to measure. Does your soul truly ache and respond to every word so that you are seeking salvation? Is this what you demand from every word in your study? Do you search in each word for its true spiritual meaning in order to connect through it to the source of life, and to feel that if you remain disconnected from this source even for a moment, you are as if dead?
Coming to such an awareness of necessity is precisely our work, our collective ascent. I hope that during Passover we will indeed reach such a common state.
If we unite during the holiday and think on a common level about what we can do in order to make the best use of the special surrounding lights of Passover, then we will be able to gain a great deal for our advancement.

Question: How should I relate to what is happening in this difficult time for our people?
Answer: What can I tell you? I will give an example from the life of Rabash. About a year after I came to him, the Lebanon war “Peace for Galilee” began. I saw how he listened to the news from the front, how he worried and grieved over the victims of the war. He suffered greatly and felt profound empathy.
But there are those who are completely devoid of feeling. We see many people like that. Sometimes people come to me to ask advice about what business they should start. And then another person comes in and asks when it is better to leave the country, in one month or two.
It is simply unbelievable how some people absolutely do not feel what is happening around them. But there are also those who feel the danger so subtly and acutely that fear drives them mad. This is hard to explain. This is individual providence.
Everything depends on a person’s reaction to the blows, on how capable he is of becoming wiser from the sufferings he experiences. We must seek their source, because by this we reduce the amount of suffering. After all, sending a blow is not the problem; the problem is how a person reacts to it, how he begins to grow wiser and seek the source of the blows, the Creator.
A blow comes only in order to awaken us to seek the Maker. If, after a small hint from above, I set out to search for the Creator, then there is no need at all for a heavy and painful blow.
The Creator wants that for every moment I spend disconnected from spirituality I should feel as though I have lost my life, as if I were dead. This is what is known as a great state. If even for a fraction of a second I stop thinking about Him, seeking Him, feeling Him, and yearning for Him, it is like the end of the world for me.
If I feel and act this way, then I do not need terrible blows. All I need is a small reminder of the Creator. Now I receive 100 kg of blows, and only one gram of them reminds me that the blow was sent to me by the Creator and that I should seek connection with the upper. Later, having become wiser, 1 gram of a blow will be enough for me, and I will add the remaining 99.999 kg myself through the sher horror that I could forget about the Maker or sever my connection with Him.
I have a point in the heart, which is a desire for the Creator that the Creator Himself gave me. And to this point I must add desire from myself, build a desire for spirituality from my own striving toward the Creator.

We Won’t Follow The Path Of Suffering Forever
Upon Whom Do The Blows Of The Creator Land?
The Point From Which The Creator Approaches Us
The difficulty of our work lies in the fact that as we advance toward entering spirituality, or exiting this world, “Egypt” (this world is called “Egypt,” and the spiritual is “the Land of Israel”), we encounter a major problem: This entire process does not unfold according to our reason and this greatly weakens us.
Right now, many people are sitting here, and each of them once “burned” with a desire for the goal, but over time, they have calmed down. They settled into their place, fell asleep, and weakened. Why does this happen?
According to reason and feeling, a person does not receive what they expect. One wants to advance in such a way that there will be clear results within the desire to receive. A person is built so that moving forward means understanding more, gaining experience and strength, acquiring wisdom, and being better prepared for each new stage.
But here it seems the opposite happens. The more a person advances (yet does not see their progress), the weaker they become, the less they understand, and the more they fear what may happen to them. They have already experienced unpleasant states, and therefore are afraid, they don’t know what awaits them ahead, and they give up in advance.
The main thing here is to rely on reason. When we read the story of the exodus from Egypt, it seems beautiful to us. But when it happens within us, “and the children of Israel cried out from the work,” each time it becomes harder with fewer visible results, and a person raises their hands. They are tired and exhausted. What should be done?
Therefore, one who does not constantly work on building a system of support for themselves cannot advance. For example, how do miners work? They go underground, drill tunnels, and install supports. These are not simple tasks. To move forward even one more meter, one must install another support, and another, not just dig and move on.
So it is with us, if a person advances and wants everything they have done not to collapse upon them with such weight that they cannot rise, justify it in their heart or mind, or turn to the Creator, then they must maintain themselves in a certain state.
If there are disturbances against reason, they turn to feeling. If there are disturbances against feeling, they go according to reason. And if there are disturbances in both, what then? Then one immerses oneself in reading, in the articles; and if that does not help, the friends obligate them, and this is already a more advanced state.
Therefore, in order to advance, one must constantly sustain oneself by building a system of support so that there is truly a guarantee, a confidence that one will not fall. This is not just something that keeps a person on the path, these guarantees are built within the soul through work and study. One constructs them as if proving to oneself, to the parts of one’s soul, preparing its entire structure. This is very important work.
This is necessary not only in order to be able to advance and not fall, this structure remains forever.

A Conscious Movement Towards The Creator
There is a path that Kabbalists call the path of Torah. They did not write their books by chance. These books are meant for a person who asks about the meaning of life. If you find yourself in a state where you feel no taste in life, that feeling is worse than death.
Yet you can do nothing about it. You are completely powerless. You cannot even take your own life, because you are required to “work” eternally. And that is precisely the purpose.
Therefore, you will not be allowed to die. Work will continue on you until you desire entering eternity. You will simply have no choice; you will have to pass beyond the point of death. In this way, the Creator awakens you to search for the meaning and purpose of life.
But what should we do when we go through states of darkness, when it feels like everything is collapsing and all is lost? We are under the influence of the masses, and the masses have enormous power. They affect us and transmit their total helplessness. They have no solution; they are like animals led to slaughter.
People in the street are simply unhappy. At least we have an inner refuge to retreat into. Even those who have not yet crossed the Machsom already possess a kind of inner shelter: When I remember the Creator, I feel that I can justify my state. My condition gains purpose, I understand that it is useful, desirable, and brings me closer to correction.
At times, I even begin to feel states of darkness as advancing me forward, as necessary and desirable. That is, while in darkness, the Creator reveals Himself to me from concealment, giving me a sense of calm, allowing me to glimpse a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. In this way, the Creator directs me toward Him.
A question arises: Why is it that when we hear about terrible tragedies and see that the people are in complete confusion, no one knows what to do? This is a fundamental question: “Why does it always happen to us this way? Why do we suffer?”
The situation is intensified by pressure from the entire world, we feel as though there is nowhere to run. The whole world seems against us. Everyone experiences this, and the people collectively radiate despair, which spreads to you. As a result, you descend together with them.
But this descent is temporary. Its purpose is to teach you to renew your connection with the Creator at every moment. You must constantly re-establish contact with the Divine, because through repeated entrances and exits of the Light, your inner connection to spirituality is renewed.
Try to relate all states to the Creator, to connect everything that happens with Him, and then you will feel better.
In other words, the Creator deliberately sends you different situations so that you will need Him as the source of life, so that you will turn to Him and remember Him.

When Does The Point In The Heart Open?
Does Every Person Have A Point In The Heart?
The light is the feeling of the divine, the Creator. The Creator and the light are synonymous terms. That is, my perception of the Creator is what is called light.
When the Creator filled me, as though a mother was holding me by the hands, this was the feeling of direct light, the light of Hochma, of knowledge.
But when I myself take a step forward toward the Creator, I fill the Kli with my own light, my own efforts, the light of Hassadim. This is no longer the light of Hochma. In other words, I come to the same feeling of the light, but through my own effort. And after that, I have both the light of Hassadim and the light of Hochma.
If I am already in spirituality, I even feel how the “mother” rejoices that I have connected with her. The very union with the mother takes on a completely different meaning for me. Now I have returned to her after feeling longing for her, I felt bad being far from her. I made tremendous efforts for this.
A person who takes an independent step becomes as if filled with life. This can be seen even in a child: how he rejoices as he falls into his mother’s embrace. In a state of darkness, we are filled with the light of faith.
