Question: How can I unite with an external Kli, one that lies outside of me? What do we experience when we do this?

Answer: We are not able to connect with the Creator because of His concealment. Even if His presence were not concealed from us, we still would not be able to do this because the nature of our will to receive will not allow us to perform actions with an intention for the sake of bestowal.

However, I have the possibility to unite with my friends. We do not even understand how skillfully this world is arranged and adapted precisely for work in society. The structure of our world is such that from the root we are led to this work.

I have the inclinations called envy, lust, and the pursuit of honor. Through these inherent traits I come to a true clarification of desire and intention. That is, the will to receive has three forces: envy, lust, and thirst for honor. With the help of these forces, relationships arise between a person and those around him; he begins to unite with those outside of him, to receive from them.

These same channels allow a person to determine where he himself and his friends are relative to his ego. I strive for the spiritual, and that is precisely why I should place myself into a society of like‑minded people, to remain in close proximity to other people.

This realization penetrates our consciousness very slowly. Years can pass before a person begins to understand that the solution to the problem lies in this, that this is where the stumbling block is. For years I heard and read about the importance of the group, and despite this, I perceived the work in society as something secondary. I simply could not do anything about it. Now I understand that in fact this really is important, that it is precisely the group that is the key to the spiritual.

I can write a thousand times: “The key to the spiritual is the friend; the key to the spiritual is the friend.” It will not help. It simply will not help. Only after many events and states pass will the feeling of the importance of the group begin to manifest not only in the mind, but also in the heart.
