Question: When the Creator reveals the feeling of the quality of bestowal to us, the answer is that to preserve it, we need to ask only for connection or that He gives us the strength to pray for our neighbor. This is unclear. Why should we ask for anything other than this?

Answer: It is like asking for strength. Strength for what? This question remains open. Therefore, it is necessary to find out the ultimate goal.

Question: But we will never know it. We say that our goal is connection. Can we take this as the ultimate goal?

Answer: No, this is not an end, but a means. The goal is to attain the Creator—connection with Him.

Question: We have a strong desire in the ten to get out of Egypt, and prayer flows all day; we have the intention to give, the desire to unite, and the desire to merge all together. What else is needed to get out?

Answer: There is not enough connection between you. It is like you are standing in a square with thousands of people shouting, shouting to the Creator.

If you had joined forces at the same time, He would have immediately heard you and answered. You are still not connected. Therefore, alone, He cannot hear everyone.

Question: To unite, do we need to get out of egoism first?

Answer: Sure, one who is still in egoism cannot connect with anyone. And to get out of the quagmire of egoism, you need to lean on each other and grab hold of the Creator together.

Strive for contact with the Creator by addressing Him from the depths of your heart.

Question: What does it mean that person who studies Torah and Mitzvot for the sake of reward has an evil inclination that is concealed?

Answer: He does not feel that he is in a state of egoism, and his ego is constantly developing. At the same time, he does not move forward at all, not only positively, but also negatively.

Question: How can we turn evil into good in a correct way? How should we work with egoism?

Answer: If evil tells you that you are disconnected from the Creator, and you ask the Creator for strength and knowledge to correct it and to be closer to the Creator, then you will succeed in working with evil.

Question: Who reveals one’s evil inclination to a person?

Answer: The Creator does everything. The question is whether it is by the person’s request or contrary to it. Therefore, ask the Creator to reveal the evil inclination and give you the strength to correct it.

Comment: Rabash writes that after a gathering of friends they should have a feeling of perfection. What if I do not have that feeling? I cannot control my feelings.

My Response: This means you did not complete the work, you asked incorrectly, made the wrong effort.

Question: So this is an indication of my feelings?

Answer: It happens that this is very difficult to implement. Getting close to friends can be very difficult  for a person when he is in certain states.

But in general, if he makes an effort, and especially not alone but in a group, and if the whole group makes an effort to gather together in its center, in one core, as if hugging tightly, which does not mean that they really should hug, they just need to strive to ensure that everyone’s heart is connected with others, then a person begins to understand how this works.

Question: How can I go with the Creator to Pharaoh if it is revealed to me that I hate Him?

Answer: Find a common language with Him.

Question: The Creator controls us by adding or decreasing evil so that we have a choice. Why does this work turn into pain?

Answer: Our work does not turn into any kind of pain. You have to understand that this is the formation of our Kli. It is the only way to rise into eternity; there is no other option.

Question: You said to focus on one negative action and correct it through prayer. How do we work in such a way as to correct one thought and then move on to another? What should we ask the Creator for?

Answer: Consult with your friends. What you accept together, the Creator will never push you away but will draw you closer to Himself.

Question: Ultimately, what outweighs the world on the scale of merit: prayer or action?

Answer: Prayer is also an action.

Question: How can we, like Nachshon, jump into the sea so there is no shadow of doubt?

Answer: When a person looks within himself, he does not see the strength that would help him to do this.

Maybe this will come in due time, but right now, he does not find the strength to say: “All who go toward the Creator, follow me,” and to take such an action.

We need to grow this strength in each of us and in our connection in order to do this. Then, we can feel it. Let us hope that we will be worthy of Nachshon’s power.

We must act so that each one awakens others to unite. In this way, we will overcome our egos and come to unity. This is what is called crossing the Red Sea.

Question: How can a person discover that he desires the force of bestowal if he was born with the desire to receive, and sees only that around him?

Where is an example of a permanent desire to bestow so that humanity could notice and appreciate it?

Answer: Of course we see that the whole world is in egoism, in the desire to receive rather than to bestow. But alongside this, we also see how egoism is constantly progressing in the world, and with it, so do pain, sorrow, and death.

In other words, egoistic desires manifest themselves as a source of all sorts of problems. Therefore people may not see a way out of them, but they understand that egoism alone is their enemy. Gradually, humanity is coming to realize that there is nothing to replace egoism, and therefore it sees no way out.

However, at the very least, it understands that our nature itself leads us to such unpleasant states.

Question: What is the difference between Haman, whom we must kill because we cannot correct him, and the property Lev HaEven (the stony heart), which we also cannot correct, but should not kill?

Answer: We must rise above this and above that, and ask the Creator to correct these properties in us. To kill means to stop using the desire to receive for your own sake.

Question: What does it mean that Israel does not suffer through Haman, but will come to their own correction through free choice?

Answer: The light that Israel can receive comes to them not through Haman, but directly from the Creator. They pass this light through themselves and through the great desire to receive, and then this light fulfills its purpose.
