Reveal All the Flavors in The Torah

509Question: At first, a person asks for taste in the Torah in order to overcome all the obstacles, and the Creator really gives it. Over time, should one come to the request to work without taste at all in order to come to pure bestowal?

Answer: Working without taste is a very high degree. But for now, this is not required of us.

On the contrary, we must try to reveal all the tastes in the Torah in order to get as close as possible to it and to the Creator who is concealed in the Torah.

Question: In the end, should any taste bring joy, even if it is some kind of bitter taste?

Answer: Yes, but the bitter taste is already a step. It is no longer a demand placed upon us. Right now, we need to feel the sweet taste of the Torah and the closeness between us. Then we will move forward and, regardless of any tastes, strive to be closer to each other.

Merit Connection with the Creator

209Question: What does entering into a connection with the Creator mean?

Answer: It means that I promise not to break our close connection, to only increase it, and to stand guard so that it does not disappear or deteriorate.

Question: Why can a person merit an eternal union with the Creator?

Answer: Much has been written about this. Because this is his root, this is his most valuable, most internal, eternal, and special power connecting him with the Creator. Through this, he influences the Creator, and the Creator influences him. So this is very important for a person.

Question: Even before entering into connection, how can we awaken the love that shines from the past and carry it into the future?

Answer: Do not stop. Constantly develop and constantly think about it.

Reject Something that Distracts from the Spiritual Work

504Question: When you put a lot of effort into studying Torah, you start getting endless material tasks to do. What attitude must one have toward something that distracts you from the study? What is the correct way to work with it?

Answer: If corporeal pleasures distract you from the inner understanding of the Torah, you must accordingly reject them.

Question: The more I reject them, the more they distract me. Should I still keep doing it?

Answer: How can it be different? It is your work to reject something that is trying to pull you into egoism. You also have to ask the Creator to give you the power to be above egoism.

Answer: Yes, it is possible.

Comment: What is the relationship between the quality of a collective prayer and the readiness of each ten? And vice versa, how does each ten depend on the collective prayer for its advancement?
