There is a path that Kabbalists call the path of Torah. They did not write their books by chance. These books are meant for a person who asks about the meaning of life. If you find yourself in a state where you feel no taste in life, that feeling is worse than death.

Yet you can do nothing about it. You are completely powerless. You cannot even take your own life, because you are required to “work” eternally. And that is precisely the purpose.

Therefore, you will not be allowed to die. Work will continue on you until you desire entering eternity. You will simply have no choice; you will have to pass beyond the point of death. In this way, the Creator awakens you to search for the meaning and purpose of life.

But what should we do when we go through states of darkness, when it feels like everything is collapsing and all is lost? We are under the influence of the masses, and the masses have enormous power. They affect us and transmit their total helplessness. They have no solution; they are like animals led to slaughter.

People in the street are simply unhappy. At least we have an inner refuge to retreat into. Even those who have not yet crossed the Machsom already possess a kind of inner shelter: When I remember the Creator, I feel that I can justify my state. My condition gains purpose, I understand that it is useful, desirable, and brings me closer to correction.

At times, I even begin to feel states of darkness as advancing me forward, as necessary and desirable. That is, while in darkness, the Creator reveals Himself to me from concealment, giving me a sense of calm, allowing me to glimpse a ray of light at the end of the tunnel. In this way, the Creator directs me toward Him.

A question arises: Why is it that when we hear about terrible tragedies and see that the people are in complete confusion, no one knows what to do? This is a fundamental question: “Why does it always happen to us this way? Why do we suffer?”

The situation is intensified by pressure from the entire world, we feel as though there is nowhere to run. The whole world seems against us. Everyone experiences this, and the people collectively radiate despair, which spreads to you. As a result, you descend together with them.

But this descent is temporary. Its purpose is to teach you to renew your connection with the Creator at every moment. You must constantly re-establish contact with the Divine, because through repeated entrances and exits of the Light, your inner connection to spirituality is renewed.

Try to relate all states to the Creator, to connect everything that happens with Him, and then you will feel better.

In other words, the Creator deliberately sends you different situations so that you will need Him as the source of life, so that you will turn to Him and remember Him.
