Question: At the convention, we always experience a spiritual ascent, after which I feel confident that I will regularly attend lessons, disseminate, write articles, and edit texts—do everything. Of course, this is a temporary state. How can I use this feeling without getting stuck in thoughts about myself?

Should I take this responsibility upon myself first, or should I think about my friends, and ensure that they have the strength to do the same? How can I avoid disappearing until the next convention?

Answer: If you disappear until the next convention, you will just become an auditor who arrives only to attend, observe, and listen—nothing more. The most important work is the daily effort between conventions, in order for you to regret such a state’s existence.

To return to a passive state after the convention is much worse than if you had not attended at all. You came, you connected, you filled yourself, and then you left, which spilled it all out. You did not add anything to yourself or others; it is a complete loss. Beware of this state. Life may end with a more negative balance than when you began.

If there is no dissemination, then all of it is in vain! Look at what Baal HaSulam, Rabash, and all the great Kabbalists write about this.

You were chosen, not to sit and listen to the teacher’s beautiful words, but to bring the world to correction. If you are not doing that, it is better to do nothing at all. Go and rest. I am speaking seriously.

You cannot imagine what will happen to a person who has received an attraction from above in order to bring the Creator’s will into the world through them, and they do not fulfill it. It is said about this: “It would have been better for them not to have been born at all.”
