Question: When a person sees that they are capable of handling a situation on their own, without outside help, does it mean they have not examined that situation deeply enough?

Answer: If a person thinks that they can cope with a situation by themselves, it means they have not examined it deeply enough. In other words, they have not penetrated to its deeper level.

Take, for example, the situation in our country. We all witness that we are under the threat of destruction. People have become desperate; they do not see a way out of the current situation, and no one has a miracle solution to this problem. People do not know how to go on living. Some are thinking of leaving the country, yet they do not even know where they could go. We can feel how desperate people have become as they consider moving to a more peaceful place.

But if we examine this situation more deeply, we will see a completely different picture. We must understand that, as a nation without spiritual aspiration, we have no right to this land. We are not connected to it and do not belong to it. Our place is in exile, outside the Land of Israel.

We were brought here for spiritual elevation so that we would acquire the spiritual qualities of the root of this land—Eretz Israel (“Eretz” means desire, and “Israel” comes from Yashar-El, meaning straight to the Creator). Thus, Eretz Israel means the desire directed toward the Creator.

If we are unable to acquire these spiritual qualities, then our place is not here. This land simply casts us off and rejects us like a foreign body.

Who has created this situation for us and why? Perhaps we should look for another comfortable place to live? Maybe Uganda, Madagascar, or, if nothing else, Birobidzhan. But the Creator says: “No! Your place is here, on this land, but only on the condition that you become Israel—one who aspires to the Creator. Otherwise, very difficult states will be awaiting you, even worse than those experienced by the nations of the world.”

Galgalta ve Eynaim (the bestowing Kelim) must fulfill their role with respect to all of AHP (the receiving Kelim). We are not carrying out the role entrusted to us, and therefore, AHP dominates us. But if, in examining this situation, we penetrate a little deeper, we will see the true causes—what is really happening and what can be done.

We will see that there is simply nowhere to run. There is only one absolute solution: spiritual elevation. This is the difference between a superficial understanding of reality and the understanding of its underlying causes. And this situation will not change until we look into the level from which the true cause becomes visible. Only then will the situation begin to change for the better.
