How Can We Feed Hungry Children?

laitman_600_04Question: What can Kabbalists do to feed hungry children who die every five seconds somewhere on the planet?

Answer: Kabbalists cannot do anything, just like everyone else. The Creator gives all of us such states so that on their basis we will be able to attain the right relationship with each other—”love thy friend as thyself”—otherwise we will not be able to change the world. This means that we have to gradually advance toward that.

The wisdom of Kabbalah tells us how to do it. If we tell other people about it and show them the method we are developing in Kabbalistic tens, we can be certain that the world will reach the revelation of the right state in a good way.

Kabbalah And Family Relations

Laitman_725.jpgQuestion: They say that Kabbalists could bring the Godly presence between a husband and a wife. How can the wisdom of Kabbalah help in building relations in the family today and resolving conflicts?

Answer: Kabbalah gives advice as to how to treat each other properly, which refers to all of mankind, including a husband and a wife. If a couple properly interact with each other, they will be able to reveal the Creator between them.

A Betrothed Girl

laitman_571_08Torah, Deuteronomy 22:25: But if a man finds the betrothed girl in the field, and the man overpowers her and lies with her, then only the man who lay with her shall die.

A betrothed girl is someone else’s desire that did not belong to a person at all and was not under his Masach (screen). And if he used this desire, it was necessarily in an egoistic way. “The betrothed girl” means a desire that has a common Masach (screen) with some other Masach, and therefore the use of this desire will be most probably egoistic. By being in contact with such a desire, a person “kills” himself—his Masach, tuned for bestowal, turns into reception and breaks.

“Field” is the absence of any external circumstances that could stop a person. In this case, the woman can not resist by herself.

Torah, Deuteronomy 22:26 – 22:27: Whereas to the girl, you shall do nothing the girl did not commit a sin deserving of death, for just as a man rises up against his fellow and murders him, so is this case. Because he found her in the field. The betrothed girl had cried out, but there was no one to save her.

On the girl herself (the desire), there is no sin, but corrections should be performed, because it fell under the use of an entirely different Masach, which broke under the circumstances.

Clarifying For Myself

laitman_623Question: Do any criteria exist in the wisdom of Kabbalah according to which it is possible to differentiate between Kabbalistic feelings and cognitive distortions that everyone is exposed to?

Answer: These feelings cannot be conveyed to others. You simply feel that it is talking about exactly what you wanted to hear, unlike all kinds of other philosophizing, theories, or sciences where you want to know, understand, and discover.

When you study for the sake of your soul, you feel it. You need to clarify for yourself and clearly understand that you are learning about your life. If you don’t have a feeling like this, you must search.

Practical Work In The Wisdom Of Kabbalah

Laitman_137Question: You have already taken a particular path. In looking back, would you want to change the method for spiritual ascent to make it simpler or the opposite?

Answer: I am taught how to act and I cannot do otherwise. I would very much want to hasten the process, but this is impossible.

Question: Could it be that the wisdom of Kabbalah lacks practical work?

Answer: In our groups, there is constant practical work during lessons and throughout the day.

Question: If beginner students study only once a week, what must they do during the rest of the time?

Answer: We have an enormous amount of material in every language. Every day we present lessons that are recorded and stored in our website’s archive. There is my blog and recordings of my conversations and lectures. New students should go through as much material as they can. Even if they meet once a week, this is enough. During all their free time, they have the opportunity to read our materials, listen to the morning lesson, and participate in our events and conventions.

All of this is very important. Then the upper Light will begin to influence them and they will feel that they are changing. That is how they begin to understand more, feel the material more, and participate with us in the discovery of the Creator.

Zohar, Commentary On The Torah

Laitman_157Comment: The Book of Zohar was the first book written after the Torah. The Torah is 3,100 years old and The Book of Zohar is 2,000 years old.

Response: The Book of Zohar is a commentary on the Torah that includes hundreds of volumes! Today only a few of them remain.

Question: Will further commentaries on The Book of Zohar be written to simplify it?

Answer: I don’t think there is any need for it. First and foremost, we need to learn and understand the wisdom of Kabbalah, and to do this, we must prepare instructions and practically implement the methodology in groups.

We see what is happening in the world. Kabbalists write that we are in a situation where the time has already come to begin the final correction; therefore, The Book of Zohar has been revealed.

Advance As The Soul Suggests

laitman_919Question: How can a person understand that he has begun the path of his spiritual development?

Answer: Instinctively. At the time, I went through many hands and found various teachers. But none of them satisfied me. I encountered Kabbalists, but either they were small or very specific.

Even though there were also great Kabbalists among them, they didn’t teach in a style I was ready to grasp. It continued this way until I found my teacher.

Therefore, it is up to a person to search. If you don’t like me, then it could be that there are others. I would advise checking to see if someone is wrong. And then you will understand whether you should return to studying with me or continue with someone else. This is because the most important thing is to advance in a manner that your soul tells you to.

laitman_281_02Question: How can I know that I am fulfilling the desire of another if I cannot know what is going on inside everyone because I am only guessing through my senses.

Answer: It is through your example and asking for it.

Question: If the task of the Creator is to bring the creature to resemble Him, why does He constantly give energy and desire to egoism so it will enjoy itself?

Answer: It is to create a field of operation for each one where He can later be discovered.
