If a person’s actions are directed toward connection with friends, he very quickly discovers the necessity for a direct connection with the Creator who must help with that connection. Every action should lead to the correction of the shattering, unity between us, and then the need for the Creator’s action; the quality of bestowal and love, is manifested in it.

Then the three components of our state are revealed: Torah, Israel, and the Creator.

The Torah is the force that creates desire (the world was created by the Torah), the force that corrects the intention of desire (the light that reforms), and the force that fills the desire (pleasure and wisdom, the purpose of creation).

“Love your neighbor as yourself” is the general rule of the Torah. “Israel” (aspiring to the Creator, the soul) is the common Kli (the connection of souls, Shechina). The Torah is the light, the correcting force. The Creator is the inner source of that force.

Together, we create the condition for unity and mutual guarantee, we prepare a place for the revelation of the Creator. Right up to, “The children of Israel cried out from the work,” when we truly need His help.

In nearly all descriptions of the Torah, we see a comparison of society and the Creator. Without society, we cannot come to the Creator. Therefore, the group is the means. It is the Shechina, the Knesset of Israel, the gathering of souls who ask not to remain in the dust (egoism). All the writings speak about this.

A person forgets the need for connection with the Creator because it is against his nature, but this connection will appear within our nature if we unite in a group. If I am not connected with the group, I am not directed and will not find the direction toward the Creator.
