Question: What do we call a prayer for the friend, for society?

Answer: A prayer for the friend is defined as all my thoughts and desires directed toward what is outside of me. It does not matter to me what is outside of me—the Creator, or all of humanity.

Only in truly advanced states, those preceding the crossing of the Machsom (the barrier) and the formation of a proper prayer, do we begin to feel that the Creator and the surrounding world are one and the same. This is because we are unable to feel anything outside our vessels (Kelim).

So how can I nevertheless step outside of my own vessel (Kli) in my sensations and see who I am and who the Creator is? That which is sensed in the Kelim of the whole world and that which is revealed there to me therein, is essentially the manifestation of the Creator relative to me.

The Creator is revealed within the Kelim. If I reveal Him within my own Kli, this is called “this world.” But if I reveal Him in the Kelim of all the other souls, this is called the future world, the spiritual world, or the Creator.
