However, one must be happy with whatever grip he has on Kedusa [holiness], that even one moment a day is to him a great possession (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 146, “Suffering and Joy”).

A true spiritual moment when a person feels connected with the material being studied and with the Creator is a great asset for him.

The Creator reveals unfamiliar ways to a person, gives him some incomprehensible properties, and causes a person to appear in a state of satisfaction and dissatisfaction. And how should he act in such cases?

He must always understand that it comes from the Creator, even the slightest sensation, and there is no other source. Therefore, a person in his sensations must do everything to bring himself closer to the Creator or the Creator to himself. It is our job.

The quality of a spiritual moment is expressed in the strength and size of the connection with the Creator.

Question: What does the ability to justify the actions of the Creator in relation to any creation depend on?

Answer: It depends on the attainment of the whole universe. That is, we need to feel how the Creator is truly good who does good. He desires nothing for Himself and does everything only for us.

Question: What can teach us to immediately justify the actions of the Creator and incline
us and the entire world to the side of merit?

Answer: This cannot be learned. The only thing we need to learn in spirituality is to ask the Creator to influence us with His light.

And then we will naturally begin to feel the governance of the Creator as good, and we will reveal all that exists.

Question: When I work in a group, there is always anxiety about if I am acting for the sake of bestowal. Sometimes a friend misunderstands you, and then this apprehension just does not let you rest. How can such a situation be balanced?

Answer: You must understand that this is the path of correction given to us to follow.

The path of correction is a long one. You are still in the process of correcting all your desires, intentions, and everything you have in relation to others so that you radiate goodness, are ready to help and elevate them, and bring them closer to the Creator. So don’t worry. Gradually, we will master it all. This path will not escape us.

Everything is ruled by chance. If only we knew who rules chance (Jerzy Stanislav Lec).

My Response: Actually, it is incorrect that chance is above all.

Comment: But he says: “If only we knew who rules chance.”

My Response: Chance is ruled by idea of the Creator, the path of the Creator. And what else do you need to know about this?

Question: So you need to know that there are no accidents in life?

Answer: Of course.

Question: There are no accidents in life?

Answer: None.

Comment: Everything that happens to me, all encounters, marriages, divorces, everything.

My Response: Everything, everything, absolutely everything! Everything you want is not accidental.

Question: And all these paths–where do they lead to?

Answer: To the realization that a person is under the Creator.

Question: And what does this realization give me? Here I am under the Creator. Let’s say I even felt it in my heart and with all my fibers. What does this give me?

Answer: Cling to Him and do not let go like a little child.

Question: That’s it, just like a child clings to mom!  The child wraps his arms and legs around mom and holds on like that. And what will happen if I can suddenly do this?

Answer: You can be sure that nothing will happen to you.

Question: This is my complete safety?

Answer: Yes.

Question: What is an illness in spirituality? How can we recognize and prevent it?

Answer: An illness in spirituality is not the power of all sorts of microbes and viruses, but the power of egoism over us. In this case, we are considered spiritually ill. Therefore, we need to recover and maintain such a standard of living so as not to be spiritually ill.

Question: If I feel the pain of separation from the group, the pain of disunity between us, and a reluctance to get up for the morning lesson and unite with my friends, can this be called a disease, and the group is a doctor?

Answer: Yes, it can be seen that way; you’re correct.

Question: How do you deal with such states?

Answer: You should annul yourself in relation to the group. Self-annulment, without questioning whether your friends are right or wrong, is always the correct approach. If the entire group has a unified opinion, you can join it without any further checks.

Question: The evil inclination takes away the taste for work. And if a person still does daily actions of working in the ten and in the world Kli, what happens to the evil inclination? Is it annulled?

Answer: It is changing but very slowly.

Question: How can we speed up this process?

Answer: To do this, you need to work against the evil inclination and be in the right intention.

Question: How can you correctly direct your ten to such an intention?

Answer: By setting an example.

Comment: In the article “You Stand Today-2,” Rabash writes that one cannot form a covenant alone because individuals are like reeds, but together, like in a bundle, they are strong.

My Response: Yes, one person alone cannot connect with the Creator. It is simply impossible. In the past, there were special souls that were different from ours. But now, a person must be within a group of people that aim toward the Creator.

Question: We did an exercise where our entire ten prayed for the advancement of one friend. But is it possible that this is an egoistic prayer when we pray for just one person?

Answer: Praying for the advancement of one friend is not egoism. But in principle, you should all advance together, and the Creator should move you forward. Therefore, the main thing is that you should try to connect among yourselves so that the Creator is revealed in your feelings.

Question: What is the law of equality between us by which all the goodness cloths upon us?

Answer: Each of you receives the goodness of the Creator in your own way and your own measure. Not everyone receives the same; each person feels it differently.

Question: What does it mean for the Creator to be revealed to us?

Answer: A person receives a feeling of closeness to the Creator.

Question: Before making a covenant, should we clarify the intentions of each friend so that we can build one common intention from individual ones?

Answer: Yes, we are obliged to do this.
