Question: When I, as a cogwheel, join a working mechanism, if the mechanism starts to malfunction, will it grind down this cogwheel or will it give it a chance to correct itself and fit into the mechanism?

Answer: The machine accepts the cogwheels, ensures they take its place, and gradually allows it to see the part of the machine’s overall work that it needs to perform.

Question: Is it not replaced as defective?

Answer: No, there is no one to replace it with.

Question: What is true self-sacrifice to the Creator, which is our ultimate goal?

Answer: True self-sacrifice is when we desire to squeeze all egoism out of ourselves, all intentions for self-benefit, even the smallest ones, whatever they may be, and remain solely directed toward our friends and through them to the Creator.

When we reach this point, we will indeed see that spiritual gates open before us.

Question: What actions allow me to pass goodness to my friends?

Answer: By showing an example of how to unite in order to be ready to receive upper forces from the Creator.

Question: I am very impressed by the women’s questions. That has never happened before. In the past, all conventions were overwhelmingly dominated by men’s questions, but today it is the opposite. What is going on? Is there some general shift happening?

Answer: I am very glad that such changes are occurring. It is written that Israel was delivered from Egypt thanks to the righteous women.

That is exactly what is happening. We see that at this convention, women are outpacing men. They are quicker and clear-headed, which I am very pleased about. So we should push them forward. We will follow their lead.

Question: All the work on connection takes place in the ten. We gather at conventions from many countries. What can we pass to one another?

Answer: We infect and inspire each other with our desires.

Show everyone else how you are striving toward spirituality. You need nothing else. The wisdom of Kabbalah itself is not very complicated, but it is difficult to put into practice.

Understanding the basic principles is quite simple, but not through words, but rather through feelings.

Question: Before us lies an immense field of love and bestowal. I can distinguish different qualities within it. There is the segment of my ten, my group, and the vast world group. What should I focus on, not to lose myself, but to bring benefit?

Answer: We must all feel like one ten, one group, and in that state, connect with the Creator. It is not that difficult. Each of us has inner potential for this.

Let us act together. Everyone should feel themselves in this demand, in connection with others, and constantly remain in one inner point.

Question: It is said that a student can use the attainment of the greatness of the Creator reached by his teacher, which turns bestowal into reception and becomes his fuel. How does this happen?

Answer: There are such examples in our world. If we begin to feel greater strength in achieving something, we can thus draw closer to that goal and master it.

Question: You, Rabash, and Baal HaSulam want to pass light to us. There are many of us here, and this gives us great strength. What condition can we meet now to open ourselves at least a little for receiving the light?

Answer: For this you must be interconnected with one another, study together what the Kabbalists talk about, try to implement it in your connections with one another, and together appeal to the Creator. Thus, you receive strength from Him.

To become similar in form to your teacher means that just as the teacher is now in some kind of connection with the Creator, the student can receive from him the forms of attitude toward all creations and apply himself accordingly.

Question: It is difficult to measure our inner efforts of devotion to the teacher. Are there any external criteria for when I can say that I am committed to him?

Answer: You need to follow all his instructions in the group and your studies. Do your best, and that is it. In this way you will receive strength from him.

There is a special power in the adhesion of friends. Since the views and thoughts pass from one to the other through the adhesion between them, each is incorporated with the powers of the other, and by that, each one has the power of the whole society.

Therefore, although each person is an individual, he has the power of the whole society (Rabash, “The Need for Love of Friends”).

The power of all is our common power with which we all come closer together and with the Creator.

If we unite with our friends, feel their desires, their path, their goal, and want to move forward with them, then in the end this happens to us.

Question: When friends ask questions, I try to feel their hearts. I do not feel it yet, but I really want to. We all try to feel each other’s hearts and keep going. What is next?

Answer: Continue until we unite, until we perceive in our feelings, desires, and intentions that we want an internal connection between ourselves and the friends. Only the Creator can give such a connection. And He gives it to us.

But we do not just wait for it to happen. We ask the Creator; we persistently demand it from Him.

Question: Can I do this at the same time: to try to unite, and—for each internal in-and-out—to demand the connection of our hearts?

Answer: Yes.

Each and every individual in society is like a wheel that is linked to several other wheels placed in a machine (Baal HaSulam, “Peace in the World”).

Question: When the Creator brings us into a group, we have a certain role to start functioning like a cogwheel in a machine. But sometimes it takes years before I begin to understand that I depend on my friends.

We are just beginning to study the mechanism, but are not yet working like a machine. Could it be that some cogwheels work faster in their internal development than others?

Answer: That is not our concern, but the Creator’s. He sets the entire machine in motion and ensures the correct combination between all its parts, as there are millions of them, and each one performs its unique role, different from the others. Therefore only a force outside of us can do this.

Question: Until we start functioning as one mechanism, how can we help each friend find his or her place so they becomes part of the mechanism?

Answer: In the machine’s operation, there is a state where all its parts work together and move the mechanism as a whole. And there is a state where these parts start up individually, depending on how much they understand the launching of the machine and its operation.

Therefore we need to study this system, stay connected with each other, and eventually we will begin to understand and sense its proper functioning and our place in it.

A person in their development in this world reaches a point where they must know why they were created. When they start asking, “What was I created for, and what is the purpose of my life?” they gradually come closer to entering the system of our world, reveals it, and thus begin to understand their role.

Question: We must become faithful helpers of the Creator. Is the calculation done with each individual or only with the ten?

Answer: The calculation is done both with each individual and with the ten.

To bring the ten closer to this work, we must talk about it, discuss it, and constantly stay focused on it. This is not too difficult because we are all interconnected and have no other choice.

We truly exist within a single system. If this system is correctly activated, with our proper participation, everyone will benefit, and we will reach the goal of creation more quickly without wandering into unnecessary decisions and actions.

We must engage in a common goal, and in order to achieve it, we will connect with each other in various unities. In this way, we will more quickly restore our part, our block, our portion of the common soul.

Comment: We all have different qualities. According to what do we rise above them?

Answer: While in the group, I want to unite with my friends, to be like them, accepted by them. We do certain exercises together, and through this, we come to understand each other more.

Even if I do not hear them, as a result of going through certain states together, each one becomes similar to the other and resembles the other.
