When all of us, “as one man with one heart,” move toward the goal, and the group has truly prepared itself for such a state, this immediately leads to the receiving of the Torah. Naturally, before this there must be recognition of evil. Although recognition of evil will continue afterward as well, from that point the spiritual degrees begin.

A program called the desire to receive is embedded within us. What can we do? We can only accelerate its action. The program is already present; that is, egoism itself is already a program. We only need to set its frequency, like in a computer.

This is all that we must do in our work. We need additional speed, through which we move from the path of suffering to the path of Torah. It is precisely this speed that we attain. And the larger the group, the better. As it is said: “In the multitude of the people is the King’s glory.”

As a rule, egoism works within us according to the system of values of “for one’s own benefit and for reward.” I myself do not change my program. But if I see that spiritual pleasures are more important than material ones, then I understand that I need spirituality, though this may take more time.

Suppose I am sitting in front of a computer, and I must type something. My problem is simply to press the keys. Therefore, either I must initially wish to acquire some force that will help me press the keys, or I will be pushed from behind by blows—just as, for example, my mother used to shout at me when I was a child and I did not want to do something, and then I would begin doing it with increasing speed.

That is, I cannot escape this path. I will still have to press those keys. It is simply that if a person is foolish, they go by the path of suffering. But I will never be able to press a key without recognizing that it is important, that it is good. Even if no one compelled me toward such an action, I myself would eventually come to feel that it is necessary.
