Questions About Joy in Spiritual Work
Question: Rabash writes those who have a point in the heart are given the opportunity to know they can enjoy spiritual things. Therefore, we look at those who enjoy material things as small children. Such a state can lead to arrogance. What should we do about it?
Answer: Nothing can be done about it. You just need to understand what I enjoy and what I strive for. Then, everything will fall into place.
Question: If joy is the illumination of the Creator and fulfillment, can we turn judgments into joy, and how can we do it?
Answer: For now it is enough to determine whether you are in a state of connection or similarity with the Creator or not. The rest will come.
Question: Through our prayers, requests, and appeals, we hold on to the Creator. We feel that we are growing in our own eyes all the time, and this gives us joy. On what point should all our attention and thoughts be concentrated?
Answer: On what I am doing for the Creator at the moment. Just because I feel good doesn’t mean anything.
Question: What is there to rejoice about on the day of judgment?
Answer: About the fact that we have tried during this year, as in prior years, maybe even more successfully, to raise ourselves to the level of the highest court. This is a very high level.
