Question: The king had a faithful friend. They spent all their time together, and no matter what happened, the friend would always say: “This is good.”
Once they went hunting. The king’s gun exploded and blew off his finger. The friend said: “This is good!” The king got angry and sent him to prison for many years. Some time passed, and while the king was traveling far from home, his caravan was attacked by cannibals. The cannibals ate everyone except the king.
They had a superstition to never to eat people with physical defects. When the king returned home, the first thing he did was run to the prison and ask for forgiveness from his friend. And the friend exclaimed: “But it is good that you put me in prison!” “Why?” “Otherwise, I would have been with you on that journey.” In other words, the cannibals would have eaten him too.
Question: Is it possible to say that everything, absolutely everything, that happens is good?
Answer: That is absolutely right! In our world, this is true in all cases.
Comment: In our world, it is almost impossible, and you say that this is true in all cases.
My Response: Correct. Everything happens for the best.
Question: Tell me, how can one learn this? It is a question everyone has. How can one learn this in our world where everything seems to speak to the contrary that everything leads to the worst: wars, suffering, death of loved ones?
Answer: If we accept everything as coming from the Creator, then we must say that everything is for the best, and everything is moving toward correction. And in reality, the world is not getting worse; it is getting better.
Comment: So there is only one gate here that needs to be opened. If we believe that everything comes from the Creator, if we understand that, we know that everything comes from the Creator. We just need to feel it or reveal it, and then everything will be fine.
My Response: Yes.
Question: Can this be achieved through mechanical repetition? Can it be done with exercises? How can one realize that there is none else beside Him, that everything is from Him?
Answer: There is simply one force that governs everything and wants us to rise to its level.
Question: You know, there are theories that the Creator has abandoned the world, left us as we are, that He is not good, and so on. There are all sorts of versions like that. Why should I come to the version that everything is good and that it all comes from Him?
Answer: Because that is what Kabbalists say. I accept their opinion without any doubt. And then I gradually discover that it is really true.
Question: So you are saying that we need to grasp onto this opinion and hold onto the Kabbalists no matter what? Is this also called faith above reason?
Answer: Yes.
Question: So even if I feel bad, I hold onto the belief that it is all for the best.
Why all of this is hidden from us? Why can’t we at some point be given a little hint, like a little child being given support, and the Creator will open up for a moment? Just open up.
Answer: No! That would be a completely lost game!
Question: Even if just a tiny bit were revealed?
Answer: There would be no grip because everything would be known and the whole game would be lost.
Comment: That is, suddenly these insane pleasures would be revealed…
My Response: Not just pleasures—the truth would be revealed.
Question: And you would understand that this is the truth?
Answer: Yes, and after that, there are no doubts, and there is no need to live, and there are no justifications for anything. And again, you need to invent: good—evil, crime—punishment, and so on.
Question: So doubts are necessary, experiences are necessary, ups and downs, everything is necessary?
Answer: Absolutely!
Question: Is evil necessary, good, truth, falsehood, is all of this necessary?
Answer: And in between all of that, man lives in turmoil.
Comment: It is beautiful, but it is not easy.
My Response: This is life. There is no bad in the world at all. And the way it is designed, it is beautiful!
