Ultimately, Israel and the nations of the world will work together. After all, if we speak of the shattered Kli (vessel), whose particles must awaken and be corrected and in which each particle contains all the others, then from an inner, spiritual perspective, Israel and the nations of the world are intermingled with one another. In spirituality, all these labors are interconnected.

I believe this will also be the case in the corporeal world. I see it based on facts. Before I even awaken toward correction, the outer world already pushes me toward it. Antisemites, all kinds of haters, shout at me and the whole world demands something from me, so I see that they are already beginning to participate.

Even before I begin to desire correction, they are already demanding it, unconsciously of course, but still demanding it. And consciously as well; after all, they claim that Israel is the most corrupted part of the world, that it is Israel who causes all the world’s troubles. What do they demand? Either destruction or correction!

This appeal is quite direct. We do not agree with it: “Why are you treating us this way? What do you want from us? We just want to be like you!” But what does it mean to be “like you”? None of the nations of the world want to see us like them, and they are right. Look at what is happening; it is all so clear, so obvious.

My teacher Rabash never missed the news for precisely this reason. From the news, it becomes evident and clear what is happening in the world. It is as if a prophet is speaking from the radio, reporting the news, and these are facts, not speculations or theories. You turn on the radio and you see what is happening. Ever since the beginning of the return to the Land of Israel, everything has become more and more apparent.

Question: Are the efforts to adhere to the Creator a personal task or one that must be done in the ten?

Answer: The point is that the entire essence of personal work lies in integrating into the ten, although this might take a whole lifetime or even more than one.

Look at how long humanity has wandered before finally beginning to understand that there is no other choice but to work on unity. Otherwise, we are out of alignment with the nature of Earth itself, and it will erase us from its surface. How much time, suffering, and effort were needed for this realization!

All the work done before joining a group is merely preparation for the real work. Once I begin to integrate into it, it is as if a progress bar starts crawling forward, showing the percentage of the program being downloaded. To the extent that I incorporate myself into the group, I make room for the thought of creation to enter and fill me.

The more I empty the place from myself and engage myself in the ten, the more the thought of creation can fill my connection with the group. This is called a corrected Kli (vessel). In this form, I become filled, and reach similarity and adhesion with the Creator. This adhesion continuously deepens and strengthens.

The work toward adhesion with the Creator is only possible in a group of ten. In earlier times, that is, in previous stages of humanity’s development, this was not the case, and there were other ways to achieve adhesion with the Creator. But in our time, this is the only path.

Our message to the people of Israel must be that a person should be a “kingdom of priests” and a “holy nation” in relation to himself and in relation to a group of people, whether small or large, all the way to the rest of the nations and the world.

The same applies to the group in relation to the world, and the entire nation in relation to the world. It does not matter. Every part of creation, of the will to receive, that feels it is capable of this, in accordance with the awareness of the importance of this action, takes part in the correction both in relation to itself and in relation to the whole of reality, that is, to the rest of creation, to all other souls so that all may reach the degree of adhesion with the Creator.

Question: Can we go out with this message to the people?

Answer: This is our duty. It is no coincidence that Baal HaSulam finished the series of articles “Matan Torah (The Giving of the Torah)” and “The Arvut (Mutual Guarantee)” by stating that this is our task. This must be our banner.

Question: But isn’t this talking about the final state?

Answer: That is true. Although the phrase “You shall be unto Me a kingdom of priests” doesn’t yet refer to the end, but rather to the correction of Bina in a person, that is, the intention not for one’s own sake, the state of Hafetz Hesed (one who desires nothing for himself).

In general, we are speaking about two very great corrections, which mean attaining two degrees in the revelation of the face of the Creator (Gilui Panim) beyond the Machsom: bestowal for the sake of bestowal and reception for the sake of bestowal. The first degree is called governance by reward and punishment and the second eternal love. They stand opposite the “kingdom of priests” and “holy nation.”

However, since these are very high levels and are still far from us, it turns out that even at the smallest level, you cannot move from your place unless you take into account where you ultimately want to arrive. Even the smallest effort, according to how much you understand in your current state, must already be directed toward the final degree.

Baal HaSulam writes about the kibbutzim and Soviet Russia. Why did they not succeed? Even though their work was, in essence, based on the principle of “Love your neighbor as yourself,” and they were willing to carry it out, they could not do it. On the contrary, they only revealed the Klipa in it, because their work was not aimed at the final goal, and they did not see it as preparation for adhesion with the Creator. But that should have been the starting condition, because “the end of the act is in the initial thought.”

Such is the requirement for every appeal, every condition, and every action of a person because otherwise it is not an act that integrates into the process and becomes part of the spiritual path.

At first the aspiration to attain the Creator seems to be some abstract idea to us because we do not yet feel that He can clothe Himself into matter and give real fulfillment. Then we see that this idea can fulfill us more than anything else and we are ready to dedicate our entire life to it and devote our heart and soul to it.

This happens within a person gradually, and then one really changes the Kelim, changes the fulfillment, and works with a different goal, with a different fulfillment. It means that when “women,” “children,” and “slaves” grow up this secret is gradually revealed to them until they acquire much wisdom, and then they accept this idea. This is the process in which a person is in his group and knows how to behave with his body and with his group.

He knows and does not know, meaning there are various processes going on in this place. We are talking about significant changes in relation to Malchut, in relation to the desire to receive.

A person goes through part of the path without disconnecting oneself from Malchut. At some portion of the path, he already knows that he has Malchut in him and from time to time he more or less critically analyses it from the side of Bina, from the side of the point he acquires that grows until the person really begins to rule over Malchut from the point of view of advancement, from the side of the goal, from the side of Bina.

In the beginning he does not use Malchut, that is called “and you will be unto Me a kingdom of priests.” After that he uses it in the correct form and it is called “and a holy nation.” This is the entire process.

Question: Are the desire to want to bestow and the desire to bestow two different Kelim, or is it the same Kli? Can the Creator also be revealed in the desire to want to bestow?

Answer: Yes, all of this will become clearer, more defined, known, and attainable for us.

Question: Outside of our circle, how can we influence what is happening with us now, in Israel? Is there any possibility?

Answer: I do not particularly see what can be corrected in those circles of the Kelim that are not yet engaged.

I think this requires further work on our part. Then we will feel precisely what we are missing.

Question: What can we ask of a Jew living today in the land of Israel or elsewhere in the world so that he may become aligned with Galgalta veEynaim (GE)? What does it mean to be like GE?

Answer: Baal HaSulam writes about this. We received the land of Israel and indeed returned here, and yet, it cannot be said that we truly received it since we were forced to come here under the pressure of the events that the Creator sent us.

And now we must make use of our free choice. In the material sense, it does not exist. In the spiritual, however, the only free choice is to agree with the development, to take it upon ourselves as it is said: first to become “a kingdom of priests” and then “a holy nation.”

If we do this while still here in the land of Israel, then we will fulfill what is incumbent upon us. But if not, there will come such troubles that we cannot even imagine.

We must understand that we went through four exiles, which were necessary. We returned from the last exile not by our own strength. In other words, we were given the conditions for finding out how the correction must take place after the shattering.

Question: It is said that one must turn to the Creator from the depth of the heart. What is this depth, and how can we reach exactly this request?

Answer: We must call upon the Creator for a variety of connections with Him, so that our attitude toward Him is always in the same direction, that is, aimed only toward Him, but different in the qualities we would like to receive from Him.

If we do this, then gradually something similar to the Creator will form within us, and in this Kli, which is called the soul, we will feel the Creator as the one who fills our soul.

Question: Should we feel that we bring contentment to the Creator by our actions?

Answer: Yes, we should. To a certain extent, we must still feel the bestowal from the Creator, the way He responds to our attitude toward Him.

Question: What should I say to a simple person who does not study and probably will not study Kabbalah?

Answer: There is no need to study Kabbalah! The wisdom of Kabbalah is not for studying it. Studying is not its realization. Realization in our world occurs through awareness of the separation and correction and not through any kind of physical action.

Physical action is the dissemination to the people of Israel and the nations of the world of the idea of what the purpose of creation is and the process of achieving it. Once a person hears it and to some extent agrees with it, a person, as they say, carries it out.

There is no realization in our world. How would you implement it? With hands, feet? Even the work in the Temple, the sacrifice of animals for the Temple service are external symbols of internal agreement. All the work is internal.

You sow this knowledge in yourself and in the nations of the world, in everyone without any distinction, and everyone feels that this is indeed so and, apparently, the entire world is in a bad state precisely because we do not follow this general law. This is how you correct everything.

After all, the correction does not lie in extracting a few more tons of oil or coal, or building a few more factories, or in doing something else. Correction is not accomplished by physical actions. An action is achieving the correct intention. That is all. All the actions of this world are useless, and we see how destructive they are.

The intention for the sake of bestowal was shattered; the intention that should have been in the head of the Partzuf of the world of Nikudim or Adam. At that time, in the head (Rosh), there was an intention to receive for the sake of bestowal, but it was not realized in the body (Guf). It is precisely this intention that must now be realized. Intention!

Therefore, to the question “What should we do in this world?,” I answer: we should not perform any physical actions other than dissemination, other than study. This is what is called the “kingdom of the priests”: the priests (Kohanim) have no inheritance, they do not have to do anything. They should only teach, pass the method.

And what about the other nations? They work with the desire to receive; that is considered their work. The actions are only in connection, dissemination, explanation. And that is all.

Why is it customary to visit the grave of Rabbi Shimon (RASHBI), the author of The Book of Zohar, as if there is some special energy there? Such a place serves as a “point of connection” with RASHBI, who was the greatest kabbalist.

If a person seeks to establish a connection with him, places like this give him a greater chance. Those who truly desire to connect with RASHBI’s soul and make the necessary effort can achieve this.

Connection is possible from any location, not just at the gravesite, but the opportunity is greater there according to the spiritual law of “root and branch.” When a Kabbalist is freed from his biological body, which added egoism to him, he becomes even holier, even closer to the Creator. That is why people come to the grave. This applies to all Kabbalists, but RASHBI is beyond comparison; he is far above the rest.

Connection with the soul of a Kabbalist can also be established through studying his writings, and what will work more strongly depends on the root of a person’s soul. But of course if one never studies the Kabbalist’s works and only visits his grave, no true connection will be made. A connection to the original source is necessary.

If a Kabbalist is no longer in a physical body, a person can go to his grave and ask to draw closer to him. The same request can be made while studying Kabbalistic texts. How powerful the result will be depends on a person’s spiritual root and on the intention behind his desire to connect with the Kabbalist.

The root of a soul is determined by the Creator, but it is up to the person how sincerely he prays and strives to reach the point of connection. Only prayer can help persuade the Creator to actualize the root of a person’s soul. One should ask for the opportunity to connect with the spiritual root of RASHBI.

There are many Kabbalists, but RASHBI is a unique soul, intimately connected with the Creator and related to all souls. If you pray and form a special spiritual Kli (vessel) within yourself, you may receive illumination from his unique spiritual root.

Much depends on the root of a person’s soul, his connection with the Kabbalist, with his writings, with the place of his holy burial, but how can one know the root of his own soul? Ask the Creator for understanding, and perhaps you will receive an answer and reveal the root of your soul.
