We Are Looking for Happiness in the Wrong Place
Question: You say: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” But I do not hear you, for example. How do I come to the conclusion that these are exactly the gates that I must enter?
Answer: You will bump your nose against these gates and understand that there cannot be any other gates! And besides these gates there is nothing, just emptiness.
Question: Is this what is written by the great Kabbalists, that you walk along the wall and there are no gates? And suddenly at some point, when you are already walking exhausted, you suddenly see—gates. And it turns out they were always there.
Answer: Yes.
Question: And I did not see them?
Answer: No.
Question: And what did I need to see them? They were always there, they were!
Answer: You lack disappointment.
Question: So I must be disappointed in everything?
Answer: Absolutely. In everything! So that only one thing remains: Dvekut (spiritual adhesion) and brotherhood! We do not know what that is. We keep using substitutes and surrogates. But then we will feel it.
Question: Can you at least give a hint? It is clear that if we do not feel, then we might not be able to hear you. But what do you mean by “brotherhood”?
Answer: Brotherhood is when we all find ourselves in one desire, one intention, in complete fusion, in the connection of everyone with everyone. And we return again to the system that is called “Adam,” like a single person in one body, in one heart. This is the correct future.
This must stand before us! This is how this future must stand before me as an obvious, achievable, necessary state.
Question: You just painted what we must come to after all our wanderings and disappointments?
Answer: Precisely why they are needed—to arrive at this state.
