Question: How can we reach the state from which a true and complete prayer arises? What must it contain and, perhaps, what must be absent from it?

Answer: We can reach such a state only when there is emptiness within us that we long to fill with the sensation of the Creator. Only then. Moreover, what we are now studying and trying to express in words, that itself is a prayer directed straight to the Creator.

Do not stray from it! Stay with it constantly! Feel how it fills you, and then you will sense how to truly reach this state.

Question: Many tens, especially new groups, are trying to understand what the right prayer should be. What would you advise them?

Answer: We need to open our hearts to one another, fill the hearts of others through us, and unite them. Then we will receive one unified heart with one unified intention, and the Creator will surely feel it. He will turn to us and fill us with His light.

Question: So they should be seeking this common heart, this shared Hissaron, day by day?

Answer: Of course. I would even say every second, every moment.

We must feel that we are connected in one unified heart, which the Creator raises higher and higher.

Question: Rabash and Baal HaSulam constantly write in their articles that only the Creator can help us. Each of us spends years trying to persuade, plead, or pressure the Creator in every possible way until we reach a state of disappointment in our own strength and come to a true plea from the depths of the heart. But that is a personal effort.

And now we all want to reach the state of “one unified heart.” What is the depth of this heart from which a true common prayer is born?

Answer: The unified heart is a unified desire that each of you, each one of you in particular, connects with the hearts of the others. You raise this collective desire to the Creator so that He would take it and begin to work with it.

I believe we are moving correctly and are close to this. Perhaps in this congress we will already feel the connection of the Creator with us.

Question: So we may feel it or we may not?

Answer: No, we must feel Him. We are practically already in Him, and we must feel Him in such a way that through our greater or smaller desires, through our connections with one another, we begin to interact with Him, that is, manage our connection with Him.

Question: When a person receives a true, stable connection with the Creator, can he mistake it for something else?

Answer: In general, no.

Question: Why is the plan of creation arranged in such a way that bestowal gives rise to resistance?

Answer: In order for us to reach the correct direction in our desire and intention, we need both the forces that move us forward and the forces that push us away from advancement.

Therefore, we must clearly understand the state we should be in now: in a continuous request to the Creator to unite among ourselves and with Him.

Question: How do we clarify our common desire in order to turn to the Creator in the right way?

Answer: By talking with one another. When you read excerpts from articles of Baal HaSulam and discuss them, common desires arise in you with which you turn to the Creator and ask for advancement.

Question: How is a true prayer connected with love for one’s friends?

Answer: A true prayer can exist only through the aspiration to connect with one’s friends. There is no other way.

So let us define this state in which we are completely united with one another and with the Creator.
When we build this state within us and direct it toward the Creator, we will feel how much closer it brings us to Him. At that point, we can pause and examine whether we have truly come closer to Him or not.

If we have drawn nearer in some measure, what do we do next? Once again, we raise our desire to the Creator in yearning to be together with Him. In this way, we constantly move forward in relation to the Creator, drawing ever nearer to Him.

Question: A person is faced with a choice of what to choose? If you were facing a choice, what would you identify as the most important thing and then follow through with this decision?

Answer: How I can detach from myself and only then make the correct choice. Only then will my choice be correct.

Question: So that my “I” would not command me?

Answer: Of course.

Question: How can it be done? It is a difficult question.

Answer: Detach yourself

Question: Meaning, I should not listen to my inner voice too much?

Answer: No, you cannot rely on anything here.

Question: What about examples? Let’s say other people tell me: “Look, I went there. I am already a scientist and I have a PhD. I am already a Nobel Prize winner. You should take this path.” And another person says: “I am already a businessman.” There are a multitude of various noises around me. Should I not listen to these people around me? You see, it is not an easy question, but it is there.

Answer: Then it is better not to choose anything. You rely on God’s will, as we say. You are not doing anything; you are just sitting, and that is all. As it is said: “Sit and do nothing, better.” What is next, God will give.

Question: Can I rely on Him?

Answer: You have to work; you have to do everything that is required. However, such important, crucial decisions are always difficult for a person.

I used to get questions from people about choosing a profession, college, or other things. I usually did not give advice. A person should figure out for himself where his soul or hand is pulling him.

Question: Still, I would like to follow your experience and ask about you personally. What do you choose when you have a choice? How do you make decisions?

Answer: I always decide for the maximum benefit of society because I know for sure that this is what the Creator wants.

I do not know whether I made a mistake or not. In general, we do not know whether we make mistakes or not.

Question: In general, we probably do make mistakes?

Answer: It does not matter. You do not know what would be in the other scenario. And so I imagine where would be the maximum benefit for the Creator. What would the Creator want me to do? And in general, that is for the benefit of society, for the people.

Comment: Perhaps there is something in this. When I make a decision according to what is best for me, then I will for sure make a mistake. However, if I am for society, then that is probably the answer.

Answer: You see, you have decided.

Question: How does the study of primary sources tune our inner instruments and form a prayer from the depth of the heart?

Answer: The fact is that within the primary sources, just as within your heart, the Creator is present.

If you attune yourself to the primary sources and to the voice of your heart, you practically connect with the Creator. You simply need to ask Him for it. And you must ask so that from within your own feelings, you can form this connection with Him.

Everything is open before you. Ask.
