Question: A congress is a gift from the Creator. Today, we still have time to spend the whole day in one precise, well-thought-out prayer that the Creator can accept, and to receive an answer. After all, you said we would receive what we ask for.

We would like you to formulate a thought-through request that can enter every friend’s heart so that we would hold onto it. Not the thoughts and requests of everyone separately, but one big request from our one unified heart.

Answer: We must understand that the most important thing among us is what we see at all congresses, especially today, that we do not have a single intention, desire, or appeal to the Creator. There is no desire to feel everyone in my heart or for others to feel me.

What should we do to make it happen? How can we do it? You should think about this, hold gatherings of friends, and connect: “How should we understand our friends so they would be inside our connection?”
I think you can create such a request. You must try to do this.

Question: How can we learn to ask the Creator without prescribing what actions He should take to fill our Hisaron (spiritual lack)?

Answer: Try to constantly ask for a deeper, more internal desire, one that is closer to the goal, and you will see that eventually the Creator will respond. There isn’t a long path ahead of you; there is only one request between you and the Creator.

The main thing is to ask. Like a small child who is always demanding, always asking their parents: “I want this, I want this, I want this!” And they give it to him. So, ask.

Question: What did Baal HaSulam mean when he said, “Better death than such a life”? From a material point of view, this refers to a person who has lost the taste for life and wants to end it. But what does this feeling mean spiritually?

Answer: “Better death than such a life” means the desire to be in constant connection with the Creator. For a person, the most important thing is connection with the Creator. Any other state feels worse than death.

Question: Something constantly prevents a person and the ten from remaining in prayer. Then you start to search and ask yourself: “Why didn’t you ask?” But is it possible not to search for what’s disturbing me and instead learn to take pleasure and delight in the prayer itself?

Answer: To do that you must ask and turn to the Creator. Only in this way will He respond to you.

Question: How can we find that point and eradicate what keeps us from being in prayer?

Answer: I think your folly is that you do not want to close your eyes to everything except unity and from the point of unity turn to the Creator. He always responds to such a desire.

Question: Each of us has many different qualities, states, and desires, and it seems impossible to come to a common prayer. Should we focus on what we want to ask the Creator for together, or on Whom we are addressing and before Whom we stand?

Answer: It’s the same thing. You all stand together before the Creator. And if you gather all your wishes, prayers, and requests, He will surely hear them.

You can find your connection with the Creator and your connection with the entire world group, and these will essentially be one and the same connection. It will be one unified Kli in which you discover yourselves, your unity, and your bond with the Creator.

Question: Is prayer the result of the efforts we invest?

Answer: Yes, it is. But we cannot judge it directly. Yet if we truly feel how we unite with one another and sense the heart of the Creator, that will be the result of our efforts.

Question: What should a true prayer be like in order to receive a response from the Creator?

Answer: A prayer for connection with the Creator, for adhesion with Him, for Him to truly be your Creator.

I believe that we must feel our interconnection. Then our collective prayer will help each one sense that they are within the heart of the Creator.

Question: What is the difference between the prayer of many and the prayer for the many?

Answer: I think there isn’t much of a difference. Of course, they can be perceived somewhat differently, but in essence, if it is a prayer of many, it is already the correct prayer because it rises to the Creator from all hearts together.

What can such a prayer be about? For the many. That is, in this prayer, many ask that their hopes and desires unite and ascend to the Creator, and that the Creator would respond to them and act in such a way as is needed for them so that they may become as close as possible to one another and to the Creator.

Thus, the prayer of the many already contains within it the prayer for the many.

Question: What kind of prayer should it be if I need to give my heart to the ten, but it feels like a stone?

Answer: Then your prayer should be such that it dissolves the stony heart, turns it into a living one, and the Creator fills it.

Question: It is said, “Better death than such a life,” referring to a person driven to despair by his suffering. But the sources speak of spiritual suffering, not material. How can we transform material suffering in the heart into spiritual suffering?

Answer: If we understand what life and suffering mean, then it is not difficult to imagine what spiritual life and spiritual suffering are. That is within our power.

Question: Can a prayer exist without a request, as pure gratitude?

Answer: Yes, a prayer may consist only of gratitude.

Question: Is prayer a person’s private address to the Creator or is it an address from the unity of the ten?

Answer: It is your collective appeal to the Creator, one for which you seek a shared response.

Question: How can we reach the state from which a true and complete prayer arises? What must it contain and, perhaps, what must be absent from it?

Answer: We can reach such a state only when there is emptiness within us that we long to fill with the sensation of the Creator. Only then. Moreover, what we are now studying and trying to express in words, that itself is a prayer directed straight to the Creator.

Do not stray from it! Stay with it constantly! Feel how it fills you, and then you will sense how to truly reach this state.

Question: Many tens, especially new groups, are trying to understand what the right prayer should be. What would you advise them?

Answer: We need to open our hearts to one another, fill the hearts of others through us, and unite them. Then we will receive one unified heart with one unified intention, and the Creator will surely feel it. He will turn to us and fill us with His light.

Question: So they should be seeking this common heart, this shared Hissaron, day by day?

Answer: Of course. I would even say every second, every moment.

We must feel that we are connected in one unified heart, which the Creator raises higher and higher.
