The more we reach out to the right goal, the more we shorten the time, as it is said: “Israel sanctifies the times,” and we come to the state we must attain. All sufferings and pleasures revolve around the fact that only with their help can a person direct oneself to the goal.

We must build such an environment, such a group, around us that, with the greatness of the goal, with the awareness of the baseness of our present state in this world, will direct us so that without preliminary sufferings we will strive to this goal even before the forces of nature act upon us and begin to press, forcing us to advance toward it.

Of course, no one can know what is happening in another since each comes from a different point of the soul. Each must pass the degrees in a different form. All 620 corrections on 620 desires, which are called 620 degrees, each of us must pass in a different form.

And here, only the person’s individual work is taken into account: how sensitive one is to his present state in relation to the goal standing before them. Only one’s inner attitude, one’s awareness of the importance gives one motivation to move and work.

That is, in every state, the person himself, or the society that he defines around himself must remind him what is the most important thing in life and accordingly oblige him and give him also the strength to advance.

And then he goes through the still, vegetative, and animate levels. Rabash gives examples: one sits at home with his family, he is still on the still level of development; another already runs around meetings, working for the benefit of society, this is the vegetative level of development; and a third already thinks not only about how to arrange the world together with the people who fill it. He must already move to a degree that is above humanity, to where decisions are made, where actions are truly carried out.

And then he already works not with his family, not with society, not with humanity, but with what is above humanity: with forces and goals that are higher than nature. Naturally, none of them can understand the other.

But, as Rabash says, in whatever state a person may be, he must always reach out to those who are better, greater, more exalted, and in any state place before him the goal of attaining them.
