Question: How does the connection of disturbances occur?

Answer: Disturbances are carried out under the influence of the Creator. He deliberately evokes them within us because they compel us to connect with one another and to clarify why we have such qualities, where they come from, what the purpose of creation is, and how we can draw our friends into the ten.

This is the Creator’s work and our response to these questions. He manifests them within us.

Question: Could you explain how the place where we raise a prayer is connected to the strength of that prayer? Yesterday, a part of our group went to Radun, and we prayed at the grave of a righteous person. Everyone felt the power of that prayer.

Answer: That is exactly how it should be. First of all, it is a special place. And second, it is because you genuinely wanted it. At that moment, you felt that your desires were aligning. They did not contradict each other, but rather complemented one another.

If you continue to act this way with regard to all your desires, then you will form such a unified desire that it will surely have an impact on the Creator.

Question: Is our only choice intention?

Answer: Of course, an intention is called action.

Question: The intention can be either for the sake of receiving or for the sake of giving. But when it is for the sake of receiving, you receive blows. So how can we choose a direction?

Answer: Our choice is not to go in the right direction, but to strengthen ourselves and go in the right direction not with the help of blows, but due to importance.

Sooner or later, you will go in that direction. You are making progress today too, but each time it is because of blows. There is another possibility, to advance with the help of increasing importance.

What is the purpose of creation? To delight the creations. What should the creation do? Achieve the purpose of creation. That is, for the Creator, the goal is to please His creations, and you must come to the same point. When will you get to this point? When your attitude is the same: “to delight His creations.” It is very simple!

Question: Can you tell us what the meaning of life is?

Answer: The meaning of life is to change one’s nature from receiving to bestowing, from hatred to love, from rejection to rapprochement with others. And then, through these qualities, you will feel a completely different kind of existence. It will be an opposite world.

You will find fulfillment in fulfilling others. And there will be no disappointment in that.

Comment: It would be great if a person could just—snap! — and it happened.

My Response: We will get there.

Question: I look at people. Today, anyone can post a video and talk about themselves or others. People write a lot on the internet. There are personal blogs, Facebook, TikTok, YouTube, whatever you want. And in general, we all know what is happening in the world today. What kind of time are we living in now?

Answer: Our entire existence emphasizes our meaninglessness. This meaninglessness is so complete that there is absolutely nothing. That is why there is apathy.

Question: Is this the time for understanding or figuring out why I live? Has that time come now?

Answer: Yes, it is the time to realize that there is no meaning in our life. And where is it?

Question: Where is it?

Answer: It is nowhere.

Question: At the same time, everything I see is joyless, empty. So what should I do? Where is this meaning of life? Where is that something to make me come alive again?

Answer: The meaning of life lies in the fact that there is nature, vast, immense nature, and there is a thought that governs this nature, sets it in motion, and creates it.

It is this thought, this design, this great intention of nature that we must reveal. And then we will get to know the meaning of life.

Life is everything. What does “everything” mean? It is inanimate, vegetative, animate, and human nature. All of it has a certain meaning that lies above all of it. Meaning is what binds, organizes, and moves all of this. So we must rise above our life.

Question: Are you calling on a person to become a scientist?

Answer: Not a scientist, no. We must simply open our eyes.

Question: And understand the intention behind everything?

Answer: Yes, why nature created all of this.

Question: And what is that intention?

Answer: That is exactly what nature is pushing us toward. That is what we must reveal.

The intention is to rise above our world because this world is actually the worst of all worlds. And that is not a poetic expression. To rise above it means to discover this intention, this force, this thought, this design.

And when we attain this thought, we begin to perceive everything beyond time, beyond space, beyond everything. Then a person begins to feel himself on the level of the Creator.

Question: So what is this thought?

Answer: It is harmony. Absolute harmony among all parts of creation. It is something that we lack. And that is why by acting on us in this way, nature is driving us toward attaining that harmony.

This is what we must reveal. We cannot escape from it. We will not be able to just destroy ourselves completely or forget it. We will have to reveal and attain this harmony.

Fulfillment that comes to a person from the Creator is incomparable. If a person turns away from it, then naturally, the Creator expresses His jealousy.

Question: So the Creator is telling us: “You have no idea how much I have prepared for you, and you are wasting your love.” Is He implying that there is no earthly love?

Answer: It is given to us only so that we reach heavenly love.

Question: And to turn us toward Him, He gives us all kinds of suffering, pain, and so on?

Answer: He does not give them. He simply shows us His love, which we reject. And we experience this rejected love as suffering. That is all.

Question: So what comes from Him is only love?

Answer: Yes, and if you reject it, you yourself turn it into suffering.

Question: What should we do? What is He calling us to? After all, we do not see Him, we do not know Him, and we do not feel Him.

Answer: That does not matter. You are given the opportunity to direct yourself properly toward Him.

Question: And this, essentially, is one’s main task, the main purpose of life?

Answer: There is nothing else in nature at all.

Question: A person must turn toward the Creator and love Him?

Answer: Yes.

Question: But do we first need to go through earthly feelings or not?

Answer: They should help us reach connection between us and organize that connection as much as possible in the qualities of bestowal and love.

Question: Is that exactly the desire of the upper force?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Will He stop being jealous then?

Answer: There is no jealousy, these are completely different levels.

Question: Yes, but we cannot express it differently. Human language calls it jealousy. Is it actually a level of love?

Answer: It is the level of absolute love.

Those people agreed to unite into a single group that engages in love of friends is that each of them feels that they have one desire that can unite all their views, so as to receive the strength of love of others. There is a famous maxim by our sages, “As their faces differ, their views differ” (RABASH, “Make for Yourself a Rav and Buy Yourself a Friend – 2“).

Question: In the first part of this passage, it is written that at first their faces do not look like each other, and then they work on loving their friend. Does friends’ love of others also differ from person to person?

Answer: Yes, it is different. The fact is, our relations with each other also differ. I treat one person one way, another differently, and another in a new way. All this is in order to be connected with friends and merge together into one common desire.

Question: Does each friend have their own feeling about the common desire, or is it something general?

Answer: At first, this is everyone’s personal desire, and then it gradually connects with other desires, becomes more general, until all desires turn into one.

Question: Is the connection with the Creator that we can hold on to the result of our prayer for a Hissaron (deficiency)? Or does it happen even before the prayer? Where exactly is the connection with the Creator?

Answer: We can hold on to it even before the prayer. If we do not let our Hissaron fall, meaning, we do not let it be forgotten, and we stay constantly connected to it, then we will be able to reach it and realize it.

Question: It is said that our Hissaron depends on how much we feel the loss caused by the absence of the desire to bestow. But if we have never had that desire, how can we feel such a loss?

Answer: If you want to feel the Hissaron, to work on it, to restore the desire to bestow, then you will begin to feel that loss. You will awaken within yourself a desire to bestow and will want to realize it.
