Question: It is written: “Everyone judges according to his corruption.” On one hand, a Kabbalist sees that the world is full of bad conditions and wars. On the other hand, he understands that it is he who has done all of this and associates himself with it. How can these two states be combined? How is it possible?

Answer: When a person looks at the world, he sees himself, his own reflection. He understands that all of this is within him. But he cannot correct anything on his own, so he is given a group (a ten). He has nothing to blame himself for. He accepts everything as a given.

A person can blame the Creator. He himself has nothing to do with it. It is his corrupted soul, which is given to him so that he could correct it.

The more he corrects himself, the sharper his vision becomes, and he sees the world as even more corrupted because even the smallest flaw appears to him as something very big. At the same time, he has no claims against the Creator except one—to receive the light of correction from Him. And he is grateful to the Creator for this because by absorbing his negative and already corrected positive qualities of the world within himself, he begins to attain the greatness of the Creator and become like Him.

Question: Does this mean that a Kabbalist has no claims against anyone but himself?

Answer: Not against himself either because everything is done by the Creator. The Creator is the root of all states, of everything that exists, and therefore, all appeals must be to Him. The only thing to clarify is how one should appeal to Him. Why did the Creator give us precisely such bad qualities? Why did He help connect them with Himself? What should we do with them?

Question: If people had no claims against each other but only against the Creator or themselves, would the world look different?

Answer: You would not correct the world by not having claims. If no one had them, everyone would just be animals. On the animal level, one devours another but without claims. People should have claims against each other, and at the same time understand that their root is the Creator. He deliberately broke our souls so that we would try to unite them and fail, not succeed, and then ask Him to correct them and to become His partners in the correction of the soul.

Then we would clearly understand what He wanted from the very beginning, why He created one soul, broke it into parts, and after that, He is turning to us so that we would take up its correction and ask Him to help us.

And with each small movement toward the correction of the common single soul we ask Him for help, become His partners, and thus we attain His level. The final state of humanity is to become equal to the Creator.
