Day and night can be defined by sunrise due to the Earth’s rotation. But what is the day of the Creator and the night of the Creator? How do I check where the day and the night are? Of course, this has nothing to do with astronomy or the physical world because forces of the inanimate level operate in it.

The day and night of the Creator refer to the states one goes through. The more one advances and identifies oneself with the Creator, the closer a person gets to Him, and accordingly feels what day is and what night is for the Creator. A person feels the changes of states accompanying this process. There are no changes in the Creator; it is the person who decides whether it is the night or day of the Creator.

There is no day without night and no night without day. The Torah, of course, talks about days and nights in the spiritual sense, about the day and night of the Creator. We need to delve into these concepts and begin to live according to spiritual days and nights and realize the whole process of our development and the endless evolution of the eternal spiritual nature.

In our spiritual work, a person must come to the point where darkness shines as light and evening and morning become one day.

During the day of the Creator, all prayers are answered because at that time I am close to the Creator and in direct connection with Him: I am to Him, and He is to me. This is called the day of the Creator. Then the Creator accepts my prayers, and I understand what the Creator is addressing me with. In fact, we are always in connection with the Creator, but I do not understand it, nor do I realize that I am in contact with Him.

Waiting for the day of the Creator means striving for faith above reason, for the qualities of bestowal. Faith must become so strong that we can clearly see the Creator’s benevolent governance of the world.

Question: What are the actions in the ten that we perceive as reward and punishment?

Answer: To get closer to each other despite mutual alienation is our reward. And vice versa: to not get closer to each other is our punishment.

A reward is getting closer to the Creator, understanding the Creator, and feeling that He is among us.

Question: What does it mean to reveal the Creator’s attitude toward oneself? How can I influence this?

Answer: You must bring yourself to a state in which it becomes clear to you what the Creator wants from you, and you desire to realize His attitude toward you.

Question: How should one correctly relate to concealment?

Answer: A person must strive for a state in which he is as close as possible to the Creator.

Question: If a person does not find contact with the Creator, does this mean that he is not connected with his friends?

Answer: No, a person must constantly examine himself and clarify why it seems to him that he is not sufficiently connected with the friends and with the Creator.

Question: How can one reduce oneself to the complete “point in the heart”?

Answer: The point in the heart is the single desire that I have toward the Creator. If I reduce myself to such a desire, beyond which I have nothing else, then I am in the point in the heart.

Question: What does it mean that we reveal the Creator through a friend?

Answer: It means that through my attitude toward my friend I discover the measure of my own desire to attain the Creator.

Question: And who is this friend that I am constantly searching for?

Answer: It is the Creator Himself.

One must strive to attain the Creator as one’s great friend, the one before whom you can open yourself entirely, in what is called “face to face.”

Do not hide anything from Him. Simply desire that every concealment be lifted and revealed.

Question: If we do not sense the Creator, how can we receive His qualities and become similar to Him?

Answer: A person senses nothing outside of himself, outside of his body, whether it is the Creator, a friend, or the group. Therefore, we must first work on our bestowal to the other, to love the other as ourselves. And if I can attain bestowal to the other, then I will be able to bestow to the Creator as well.

If I agree to work only for the Creator but not for the other, this is a sign that I am not ready to work for the Creator either. After all, I am still not making an independent calculation “outside my own interest.” I remain within myself and receive results of the work, the reward.

That is, all the work is only in relation to the group, within which we create the place for the revelation of the Creator.

We do not receive any light; we are filled with our own bestowal! I “generate” this quality from within myself with the help of the force that comes to me and gives me the ability to be in bestowal, and in this I feel the force of the Creator clothing in me. This serves as my fulfillment.

I will never reveal anything “outside of myself,” even though it is said that we “go out of ourselves” and connect with others. This is all my imagination, my perception, as if I am going out of myself.

It is said that Malchut of the world of Atzilut is called “the image of the Creator.”

And it is also said that I must bring joy to the Creator through all the states that I receive from Him. But what does it mean to receive states from Him; after all, they depend on the desire awakened in me: more or less, depending on my overcoming my egoistic desire and correcting it. How is this related to the Creator, who does not change?

And what can I even give Him? There is no one to bestow to, no one to receive my work.

In the end we reveal that we correct only our own qualities and never leave them. And the very quality of bestowal is a pure quality; I cannot work for any kind of “benefit” of it. I can only value it as a special, exalted quality according to my attitude of awe toward the light and toward the other, which inspires the sense of the greatness of bestowal and love in me.
