Question: I managed to implement the rule “If I am not for myself, who is for me,” because I feel that no one else will do it for me.

But to fulfill “There is none else besides Him,” I make efforts and act with the strength the Creator gives me. Yet after the work is done, I cannot agree that there were no efforts of my own and that everything was done by the Creator.

What should I do with these feelings? Forget them? Dismiss them? Turn away? Because I cannot reconcile the two rules. And if I could, I cannot imagine what the result would be.

Answer: Yes, you are right. Everyone faces this dilemma, and each person must try to resolve it for themselves.

Question: Is a person able to hold on to intention during the action?

Answer: What a person is capable of or not, we should not say that now. Once it becomes clear who we are, only then can we pass such a verdict.

Question: We carry out actions both in the material and the spiritual. We perform them. Then comes the realization: “Everything the Creator does is for the best,” meaning “There is none else besides Him.”

We enter this state, it settles within us as if some kind of chip is implanted in us.

Does this state get transmitted in some way to all of humanity? Is that our way of giving to the world? We want to be the Creator’s helpers in the salvation of all humanity.

Answer: That is bestowal and it is transmitted.
