Implementing unity to the extent desired by the Creator means achieving unity without any limitations.

And in order to feel what He wants from us, we must ask Him, bother Him, and request from Him. And then we will understand the connection with Him and will develop in this connection.

Question: Since we are constantly striving to unite and our external actions always seem the same, how can we check our intention to bestow?

Answer: Look not at the actions, but at the intention. That is all you need to check: for what, for whom, in the name of what?

A sign of a correct intention is that it is directed toward the Creator.

Question: Light and Darkness met. “What do people find in you?”—exclaimed Darkness in surprise. “Neither beauty nor mystery—you just hurt one’s eyes!”

Light did not answer. It just politely stepped aside and silently illuminated the road because Darkness was heading toward an abyss without even seeing it.

Today everyone has the feeling that we are approaching an abyss and there is no one to light the way. What can light the way?

Answer: Mutual assistance and compassion. Only that.

Question: So if we manage to approach each other, we will be able to see that we are approaching the abyss?

Answer: Yes.

Question: In this parable, Light did not say anything to Darkness, it simply stepped aside and illuminated the path. It illuminated the path anyway. Why does light shines on everyone: criminals, haters, simply everyone!

Answer: This is its property, to shine on everyone.

Question: It seems to say: “Move away, you are interfering with me.” And Light moved aside and continued to shine. This is some kind of annulment. That is, someone sees this light, and someone does not. How can one see it? How can one feel that it is light?

Answer: This is the light of bestowal, the light of compassion, the light of rapprochement. This is the meaning of light.

Question: That is, light as such, as something extraneous, does not exist?

Answer: No, these are not photons that illuminate our retina.

Question: And not the light that is spoken about in spiritual practices, but namely the rapprochement between us?

Answer: Yes, it provides the condition where light spreads from itself and further on in all directions. And if this connection does not exist, then light cannot unite and conduct itself through all the matter.

Question: Suppose, people connect, do they begin to shine for everyone?

Answer: Yes.

Question: Or is this abyss visible only to them now?

Answer: No, this cannot happen. It shines for all.

Comment: That is, connection of even a handful of people brings light for everyone.

My Response: Yes. Initially they should realize what they connect for if they get connected. There must be an intention in advance to achieve light for everyone.

Question: Why should people connect?

Answer: To shine for everyone.

Question: What is a higher request to the Creator?

Answer: A higher request to the Creator means that I include in my request all the higher desires of the group or, perhaps, of the entire world Kli.

Question: What happens is that you cannot formulate anything, and it feels like you are mooing like a cow, but cannot say anything. Is this also a form of prayer?

Answer: Yes, this is also a form of prayer. Do not worry. The Creator also responds to the mooing of a cow.

Our sages said: Open for me one cleft in repentance, as the tip of a needle, and I will open for you gates for wagons and carts to enter. (Writings of Rabash, Letter No. 48).

That means that the Creator expands our vessel, i.e., expands our desires and gives us additional ones. These are the actions of the Creator, and we should only ask Him for them.

A desire the size of the tip of a needle is a small initial desire with which a person can turn to the Creator. That is sufficient. The Creator does everything else.

Question: We realize the greatness of the Creator. How can one evoke love for Him?

Answer: This is a gift from the Creator. But we still need to invest more to show the Creator how much we desire a connection with Him. So we just need to keep going.

You must talk about this and ask that all your work will be spiritual, that is, for His sake. Desiring this, turn to Him so that He will help you rise above egoism so that you can think and ask for spiritual insight only for the sake of His contentment.

Question: What is the purpose of working on the intention during the lesson?

Answer: You want to reveal the Creator, cling to Him through your ten, and ask Him, along with the ten, to help you rise above your egoism, above your Egypt. This is your current job.

Question: How do the questions and answers of the world Kli help us in spiritual advancement?

Answer: They connect you more with each other and with the Creator.

Question: When you feel that you are completely in the pit of your ego and cannot pray for your friends, then should you ask the Creator to give you such an opportunity?

Answer: Yes, at least you have the opportunity to annul yourself in front of the ten and cling to it. And then you will sail with them wherever they go.

Question: How can we help lead our friends to prayer and request, especially those who cannot do it?

Answer: Try your best to involve them in your common intention so all of you will connect.

In the matter of the lower Hey in the Eynaim [eyes], it means that a Masach [screen] and a cover was placed over the eyes. Eyes mean seeing and Providence, when one sees hidden Providence (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 123).

Eyes and vision symbolize the spiritual level, the light of Hochma. The concealment placed over the eyes signifies the concealment of the light of Hochma by the screen.

The upper governance is concealed from us only to the extent that we cannot receive it for the sake of the Creator. By attaining the governance, we feel the Creator but only to the extent that we can performs acts of bestowing to Him.

When one dies, one does not take with him silver, gold, or jewels, but only Torah and good deeds. (Baal HaSulam, “The Freedom”).

Question: As a rule, it is unpleasant for a person to think about the day of his death. But this point gives the importance of choosing an environment and contributing to the group. How can you keep in focus the point that at the hour of death, nothing will help you but only the Torah and good deeds?

Answer: By death we do not mean the hour of death, but a new birth. That is how we need to understand death itself. Therefore, naturally, the Torah and good deeds are what accompany you and are what you enter a new life with.
