Question: How should one act practically when bad thoughts come, and how does one elevate them to holiness? What are these actions within the ten?

Answer: Everything depends on how connected you are with the ten, how much they lift you up, or whether you bring them down.

It is a similar calculation to school assignments, where you are given several conditions and need to find something common between them.

Question: So if I take the right actions toward my friends, can I essentially prepare myself for this state and go through it quickly?

Answer: Relatively quickly.

Question: You said that a person can bring the ten down. Does that mean that when he acts mechanically without opening his heart, he is essentially not fulfilling his task? Is that what it means to “bring the ten down”?

Answer: Yes.
