Question: I see all my friends in the ten as righteous because the Creator stands behind them, and the importance of the Creator is above all for me. Is it correct to view my friends in this way?

Answer: No, it is not necessary for all your friends to appear as righteous in your eyes just because the Creator stands behind them. The Creator is behind each of us, and how He wishes to manifest Himself relative to each of us is His private governance. Therefore you should look at the individual state of each friend.

Question: Yes, but I can justify them with faith above reason. That is my work, is it not?

Answer: That is your work. But you cannot see your friends as absolute righteous in every state they go through. I understand that you want to see them that way because they are governed and filled by the Creator. Nevertheless, you must regard them as acting desires in our world.

Question: Still, I must justify them and make them righteous in my eyes, right?

Answer: And if you are mistaken?

Comment: But justifying them is my annulment; I annul myself before them.

My Response: You are annulling yourself, but what about them?

Comment: Outside of me, there is only the Creator.

My Response: Exactly, as it is said about Noah, that he was righteous in his generations.
