Comment: I decided that I only have Kabbalah in my life, and I don’t get distracted by other methods. But my “donkey” desires something different. For example, I want to go out and have a beer, I feel that urge. But I understand that if I go, I will not be able to get up for the morning lesson, and I will have a headache. I feel powerless in this situation because it feels like it is the Creator directing me this way.

My Response: Let us clarify: the Creator sends you to the lesson and the Creator sends you to have a beer. The Creator is everywhere, in both places. So which direction do you choose? Which Creator will you listen to?

Question: I understand that all of this is from the Creator, but can I pray for myself to follow the Creator who sends me to the lesson?

Answer: I do not think that is the best path because you will end up fooling yourself. It is better to use your ten to overcome the “beer” Creator. Then you will truly feel like you are in a fight, will connect more with the group, and will strengthen your connection with the Creator and the connection of the Creator with the group. In this way, you will really advance.

I believe that if a person finds themselves at a crossroads with two apparent paths, they should recognize that both are given by the Creator so they must decide which choice the Creator would prefer.

Question: Can I pray for myself and ask the Creator to help me choose the right path?

Answer: That is a weak prayer. It is much better to pray through the ten. A genuine prayer is always done with what is called a minyan, a group of ten people.
