Question: How does the feeling of exile arise in a person?

Answer: As a person desires to exit egoism, to distance from it, the feeling of being in exile is born within him.

It turns out that one is in egoism and hates it at the same time.

Question: Pharaoh rules over us through egoistic pleasures, and it seems that we cannot enter holiness until we rid ourselves of them. Is that correct?

Answer: No, do not think about it. We just should not be slaves to pleasures. This is something to think about.

Question: If I am aware of my egoism and lowliness and want to connect with my friends, is this enough to get out of Egypt?

Answer: No, you must feel that you are in Egypt, in egoism, and cannot break free from it.

Question: What should you do when you find yourself in selfish pleasure and realize you have no aversion to it?

Answer: You need to keep working. You already have an awareness of being in egoism, but have no aversion to it yet. Recognition of evil is when you feel you are in it, but you still agree to it.

Question: When the sons of Israel felt a great emptiness, they cried out to the Creator. This cry came out of them automatically. What was their freedom of choice?

Answer: They had freedom of choice before when they were in Egypt. Now, the Creator has gathered them and pulled them to Him. Therefore, they are under the full power of the Creator.

We must understand that we do not yet feel like we are in the desert. We do not feel that we have nothing to eat. Therefore, we cannot cry out to the Creator asking where the food we ate in Egypt is. We do not yet feel Egypt.

Question: What is the difference between Israel and the nations of the world? Is it that the people of the world in this situation would not turn to the Creator?

Answer: No, the nations of the world are those who do not feel related to the Creator at all.

Question: How can the entire world group come out of exile correctly?

Answer: According to your desire, to the extent that you unite with your friends and together want to eliminate the force of evil, the Pharaoh, who always draws you back to Egypt, to your egoism, to the desire to receive, to that extent you can gradually, over some time, reach a state where the force of the Pharaoh disappears.

Question: Does staying in exile necessarily have to be a prolonged process? Can we make it fast or even instantaneous?

Answer: One cannot predict how quickly or slowly the exit from the egoistic state will be. It depends on your reaction.

Everything that happens to us is done by the Creator. You must react and work together on your response to the Creator.

Question: How can spouses come to the feeling that they constitute a single entity?

Answer: This task is given to them for their entire lives. They must achieve such unity between themselves that appears as perfection; i.e., they should realize that they are a single whole that cannot be divided. Then, in this unity, they will reveal the Creator.

Comment: There are situations where the sense of unity seems to appear, but then it disappears. It does not come once and for all; there must be constant returns to it because a man and a woman are two opposite substances.

My Response: Yes by their nature they are opposites of each other. These are two completely different egoists who have not received the right upbringing or intention to come together.

But they somehow find each other and decide that they can be together as one entity. Internally, in their thoughts, feelings, and intentions, they must strive toward each other.

Question: Where should we focus our efforts to avoid wasting energy on trivial matters? What should we increase our efforts in?

Answer: You should strengthen your actions in uniting with your friends so that everyone is in the same desire, the same intention, and all increasingly strive toward the one Creator.

Effort is the work of coming closer together toward a common center directed at the Creator.

Pay attention to feeling that your friends in the group are very close to you, as if you constantly want to embrace them, and gradually you will begin to feel each other without words.

Question: How do we work with the property of laziness when the heart is lazy to form a correct, sincere prayer?

Answer: It is not easy. I think that for this it is necessary to unite the whole ten and unite together so that there is no place for laziness between you.

It is necessary to fight against indifference and laziness with all your might because at these moments you miss the opportunity to rise spiritually.

Question: Rabash begins the article “Love of friends – 1” with rhetorical questions: “What are you seeking?” Is this the question I should start my day with?

Answer: Perhaps you have been thinking about this question for a long time, for many, many days, so you do not have to specifically start the day with this question.

Basically, the article says that a person who is wondering about the path of life should ask himself: “Where am I going? What is my goal?” And so on.

Question: As a result of this work, should I develop the need for friends so that apart from my brothers I do not need anything else?

Answer: It is very difficult. But in the end, you should get one answer to all your questions about spirituality: unite with the ten, give your best to your friends, and reach the goal together with them.

Question: Is it right to begin treating friends in the ten with the same trepidation with which we ask you questions?

Answer: No, you should strive to understand and treat each other with an open heart. You do not need to hide anything from your friends or avoid them. Be as close to them in your heart as possible.

Strive to help each other in the ten to strengthen the connection between you so that a common feeling is revealed in it in which you will feel the Creator.

Question: Can trepidation be called an intermediate state between joy and fear?

Answer: There is no such state as “in between.” It only seems that way to you. In any state, you should come to the point where it fills you, and you will know what it is.

Question: How can all of Bnei Baruch, all the groups, attach themselves to the significance of the Creator that you possess?

Answer: You should not strive for that. You should strive to establish a connection between yourselves and feel the Creator within this connection.

Question: Where will you be in this process?

Answer: I will be somewhere nearby. I say this very seriously. I do not want you to feel obligated or dependent on me. Your development should be free.

Question: Can we, by awakening the significance of the Creator between us, use you as an example so the importance of the Creator you possess merges with ours?

Answer: I am ready for that. You can use me however you like.
