But in the future,  when he engages Lishma, he will build for himself so that he himself will benefit from his work.

We should also interpret “this world.” When one engages in Torah and Mitzvot for his own sake, when the aim is to receive, he cannot benefit from the building he is building.

An hour of Torah and an hour of prayer is similar to a brick over a brick. By this, a large building is made, according to the value of one’s work in Torah and Mitzvot (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 285, “A Person Builds a Building”).

If we want to draw closer to the Creator, we must unite among ourselves. Therefore, this rapprochement and mutual incorporation in the ten forms a certain area between us, i.e., the very house we enter.

Then, we discover that according to what we have built, the Creator is revealed. This is how it works: we build a place, and the Creator fills it.

It is said that I will build and live in this home and not another. “I” refers to the one who desires to create a house from bricks, where each brick is a desire that I combine with other desires and create a common structure.

Properly placing spiritual bricks from lesson to lesson means that all the friends think about how to draw closer to the Creator and take part in this process. The common spiritual brick of the ten in the construction of the Temple is mutual help and joint prayer.

Question: Is each home a separate structure or part of our common Temple?

Answer: If you wish, you can build the Temple together; if not, then it is built only by the one who performs the correct actions.
