The Creator has no image, no form, I can love. His form is his law, the law of giving pleasure. The way this form of giving clothes itself is what I need to love, and what I need to identify myself with. This is called loving the Creator. How can I do this?

They say that you can come to love the Creator by executing various Segulot, using miraculous powers. What is a Segula? It involves exerting effort without a direct connection to the final outcome; the result is love for the quality of bestowal.

These actions will result in something that can be accomplished only by the upper force. That is, if you carry them out, they gradually grow into a great force in both quantity and quality. Then, in accordance with this law, the desire to give is born in you, and you begin to love this state. This is love for the Creator.

Question: When a mother wolf goes hunting, caretakers watch over her pups and play with them. The attitude toward the pups in the pack is the most tender. Any adult is always ready to share food with them, play with them, and teach them the rules of hunting or hierarchy. This is exactly why the wolf pack is so united and effective.

Is this a process of upbringing? It is where the entire society comes to care not only for their own children? How can I detach myself from my own child? Here it is said that I care for someone else’s child, that the whole pack cares for him. In what case is this possible?

Answer: It is when you understand that all of you are one common whole. These are Kabbalistic principles.

Question: Absolutely! That without this I will perish, right?

Answer: Yes.

Question: A neighbor’s child is just as important to me as my own child?

Answer: Yes.

Question: This looks very unrealistic for a person. But it must be this way, right?

Answer: It must be this way, of course!

Question: What does it mean to connect with a friend?

Answer: To unite with a friend means that I want to come to adhesion with the Creator. But unfortunately, I cannot attain this without connecting with you. And you must also come to the same realization that if you do not connect with me, you will never attain the Creator.

The Creator, adhesion with Him and attaining similarity of qualities with Him is our goal, both yours and mine. No one will attain it without connecting with another, but only through another—yes.

Union means that the Kli (vessel) for attaining the Creator is located within your friend. A Kli is the impression, the yearning, the exaltation of the goal, the greatness of the Creator.

When you feel that you are praising the Creator, that you are exalting Him, then know that it is not you, but your friend who brought this into you. But you can receive inspiration only in exchange for your own contribution into him. If you carry this out, then through this a Kli will be created, in which you will strive toward the Creator.

And until you connect with a friend and absorb the greatness of the Creator from him and know that it is the Creator who has given you the yearning for Himself. It is He who has expressed His desire toward you, and not you toward Him.

My work with a friend is to receive awakening, upliftment, a sense of the importance of the goal, the greatness of the Creator, and praise of the Creator from him. To the extent that he can give this to me, I exalt the connection with Him. This means that I exalt the connection in the group, and then one thing triggers another.

But everything that I check, analyze, and evaluate in a friend, my entire attitude toward him, must be only in accordance with his attitude toward the Creator. No matter how differently it may seem to me, it is so.

I must not climb into his soul, nor force him to speak about his relationship with the Creator. But the external form in which he expresses his yearning for the Creator gives me the understanding that he passionately desires the Creator.

I am obligated to be under the influence of the friends, to increase my desires through the connection with them, and to be in interaction with them, which operates in two directions: from me to them and the opposite.

If you see that they are here and truly ready for this, it is called that the Creator brought them to you, and in accordance with this you must relate to them in a special way. You have no choice, but He has a choice, and He chose precisely them. From this point begin to develop your attitude toward the entire group.

The relations among friends in a group are external, but they should become internal.

To the extent that these relationships take on the form of bestowal, to that extent they will transform into a spiritual vessel in which the Creator will be present.

In the article “Concerning the Reward of the Receivers,” Rabash writes that there are prohibited things; permitted things that cannot be received for the sake of bestowal but are necessary; and also, things received through the fulfillment of commandments that cannot be received for the sake of bestowal.

In addition, there are permitted things and things received through commandments that can be received for the sake of bestowal. According to the level of performance, a person receives a reward.

And what is this reward? Reward means performing the action in the most optimal way, through which a person attains equivalence of form. Why, then, do they not say that equivalence of form is the goal, but rather say that the goal is reception for the sake of bestowal? Because the result does not depend on us. The result comes from the law of the Creator, whereas the action depends on us.

This is similar to how Rabash explains the question of love: How can one force oneself to love the Creator, or to “love your neighbor as yourself,” when we cannot interfere in this? How can I force my heart to love someone?

In our world, this can be achieved through effort—when I invest myself in someone, give to them, care for them. This is clearly seen in the example of people who take a child to raise, and the child becomes completely their own, because they invest in him.

Before they invested in him, they felt no love for him at all—neither natural, instinctive love, nor love above nature. But after they invested a part of themselves in him, he becomes very important to them, because it is that part of themselves in him that they love, and from this love for the child is born.

So, it is with us as well: When we are in the desire to receive and transfer it to someone else, a connection is created between us. And in spirituality, when we want to love someone who is completely foreign to us, for the sake of bestowal (not for the sake of receiving, for then we are speaking of an animal feeling), this is a different law, as it is said: “Love the Lord your God.”

Our correction in relation to bestowal should be directed not toward our neighbor, but toward correcting our connection with the Creator. That is then it will become truly good for your neighbor, because in fact, what exists in the world comes from the Creator.

But if you want to change the state of this world, you must change what comes to them from the Creator. And that can be done only if you bestow to Him. And to the extent that you bestow better, He will not have to affect the world in a worse way.

You can come to this through society, when you bestow to your friends, and they bestow to you, you create a group, and just as at the end of correction on the spiritual level you unite in souls, so you try to unite here, in the spiritual task, that is, actually rise to that level.

By this you evoke the surrounding light into our world and thereby oblige the Creator to give more light to this world.
