Comment: Rabash writes that in faith, one must follow the path of “penny by penny accumulates to a large sum.”

My Response: Of all the actions a person supposedly performs in life, there is only one that he actually makes, and it remains forever. All others are temporary. A person commits them, enjoys them, or suffers from them, and that is it.

There is only one action: to correct my Kli, my desire to receive. It accumulates from moment to moment or from cycle to cycle, and everything I have done stays in my “bank account” to my credit and for my benefit. Each time I add another penny to my account depending on the number of corrections made.

And what are my corrections that we already know? This is an increase in the force of bestowal with the help of the group and study; that is, it is the realization of free choice. If I perform an action in accordance with my free choice (when I do it, and not the Creator), it is credited to my account.

My free action can only be one thing, to make the group stronger every time so that it influences me and strengthens the power of my desire, so that with an even greater desire to give, I turn to the Creator and demand an even greater force of giving from Him.

Thus, another number appears in my account balance. So I turn to the group again, change it again, and again it raises me and inspires me to advance and bestow. Once again, I turn to the Creator. I ask Him for the force of bestowal, and my account balance grows once more, etc.

There is nothing else because this is my only free action. Everything else is not done by me but by the Creator. But this is done by me, and therefore it is credited to my account. Each time, only this remains as a result of our lives. Only this account remains. Therefore, Rabash writes that after a person departs, only the Torah and the good deeds he has done during his life remain with him.
