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.

Question: Rabash and Baal HaSulam constantly write in their articles that only the Creator can help us. Each of us spends years trying to persuade, plead, or pressure the Creator in every possible way until we reach a state of disappointment in our own strength and come to a true plea from the depths of the heart. But that is a personal effort.

And now we all want to reach the state of “one unified heart.” What is the depth of this heart from which a true common prayer is born?

Answer: The unified heart is a unified desire that each of you, each one of you in particular, connects with the hearts of the others. You raise this collective desire to the Creator so that He would take it and begin to work with it.

I believe we are moving correctly and are close to this. Perhaps in this congress we will already feel the connection of the Creator with us.

Question: So we may feel it or we may not?

Answer: No, we must feel Him. We are practically already in Him, and we must feel Him in such a way that through our greater or smaller desires, through our connections with one another, we begin to interact with Him, that is, manage our connection with Him.

Question: When a person receives a true, stable connection with the Creator, can he mistake it for something else?

Answer: In general, no.

Question: Why is the plan of creation arranged in such a way that bestowal gives rise to resistance?

Answer: In order for us to reach the correct direction in our desire and intention, we need both the forces that move us forward and the forces that push us away from advancement.

Therefore, we must clearly understand the state we should be in now: in a continuous request to the Creator to unite among ourselves and with Him.

Question: How do we clarify our common desire in order to turn to the Creator in the right way?

Answer: By talking with one another. When you read excerpts from articles of Baal HaSulam and discuss them, common desires arise in you with which you turn to the Creator and ask for advancement.

Question: How is a true prayer connected with love for one’s friends?

Answer: A true prayer can exist only through the aspiration to connect with one’s friends. There is no other way.

So let us define this state in which we are completely united with one another and with the Creator.
When we build this state within us and direct it toward the Creator, we will feel how much closer it brings us to Him. At that point, we can pause and examine whether we have truly come closer to Him or not.

If we have drawn nearer in some measure, what do we do next? Once again, we raise our desire to the Creator in yearning to be together with Him. In this way, we constantly move forward in relation to the Creator, drawing ever nearer to Him.

Question: How does the study of primary sources tune our inner instruments and form a prayer from the depth of the heart?

Answer: The fact is that within the primary sources, just as within your heart, the Creator is present.

If you attune yourself to the primary sources and to the voice of your heart, you practically connect with the Creator. You simply need to ask Him for it. And you must ask so that from within your own feelings, you can form this connection with Him.

Everything is open before you. Ask.

Question: It feels like we lack the words for prayer. Does prayer express itself through words or through feelings?

Answer: The prayer is revealed in the process of searching for those feelings within me that can connect with the Creator and how I turn to Him.

Those states, those requests are the very desires I want to uncover in order to attain the Creator.

Question: So this happens only within me?

Answer: Yes, only within you.

Question: How can I feel that not only my life but also the lives of my friends depend on my prayer?

Answer: You simply need to deepen your thoughts about how connected you must be with all your friends, at least during the congress. Then you will begin to sense, to some extent, the force of connection you wish to attain.

Question: During prayer, you reach a certain point that is very difficult to overcome. What should you do to feel that you are in contact with the Creator?

Answer: The easiest way to attain contact with the Creator is through connection with your friends. In other words, it is enough to be included in your ten, and then from within the ten, direct your combined strength toward the Creator so that He will draw you all to Himself.

You will feel how He literally pulls you in and does not let you go.

Question: What is the perfection of our prayer?

Answer: It lies in the certainty that if we reach the right kind of prayer, the Creator will surely answer it. In this way, we attain the goal. We will understand this through the states we go through as each one leads us closer to adhesion with the Creator.

Question: How is this different from our current states?

Answer: The point is that we still have no true connection with the Creator. Feeling that some force governs us does not mean we are connected with it.

We call out to it, we feel that we lack it, that without it we are completely abandoned, but if we persistently strike at one point, we will certainly achieve adhesion with the Creator.

Once upon a time, people desiring to attain spirituality had to subject their bodies to restrictions and suffering in order to break their egoistic desire and acquire a new, bestowing nature. This was the way in the times of the patriarchs and the sages of the Mishnah.

But then came the era of the Talmud, and its sages, the Kabbalists of that time, through their spiritual work, changed the condition of transforming our nature from receiving to bestowing.

Each period contributed its corrected part to the common system of souls. As a result, the system became partially corrected, and all the others within it, the still uncorrected souls, can receive help from the corrected part. We no longer need to torment and limit our body, nor are we capable of it with our enormous egoism.

But the sages of the Talmud made our path easier, and that portion of egoistic desire, which otherwise would have to be broken through tormenting the body with a harsh life, we can now correct through the reforming light.

The patriarchs and the sages of the Mishnah corrected themselves with two actions: the suffering of the body and drawing the light of the Torah. But the sages of the Talmud corrected the system so that instead of bodily suffering, we can correct it with the same light of the Torah.

For our time this is very important, for who today could renounce all the achievements of modern civilization? The Kabbalists of the Talmud corrected themselves, their inclusion in the common system, and its corrected part became great.

Though I may be born uncorrected and wicked, I find myself within a system that includes many corrected parts which sustain it, and if I wish to be corrected, I have somewhere to turn for help and with whom to join!

Now it is only up to me!
