Question: Do we, in our current state, influence the balance of the scale toward good?
Answer: Every moment of our existence we are in the realization of only one thing—mutual guarantee (Arvut). Whether we want it or not, we and the whole world are advancing toward the realization of its importance either through suffering or through the path of Torah.
There is nothing else toward which humanity is being led other than mutual guarantee. We must see that it is a necessity, that mutual unity leads from “Love your neighbor” to “Love the Lord your God.” This is the process that all souls must undergo.
Therefore, everything that happens to all the souls and to each individual every second of their lives is essentially a movement toward the fulfillment of this law.
No matter how confused we and all of humanity may feel—not knowing where we are, what we are doing, and what we are occupied with—it is all just clarification so that we ultimately come to the final conclusion: it depends on each person which way the scale will tip.
In other words, everything depends on the degree of responsibility each individual takes for fulfilling the law of mutual guarantee.
And even now, when you are not yet corrected, to the extent that you are in some form approaching the understanding of this law that we are obligated to fulfill, you affect the entire world through your inclusion in all souls. In this way, the law becomes more revealed in them, and you help others reach its fulfillment.
However, there are people who, due to the state of their point in the heart, are incapable of striving for adhesion with the Creator and cannot fulfill the law of mutual guarantee on their own. But since all other souls are included within them, they will receive some illumination and, as a result, will fulfill this law.
They will say: “If everyone else is doing it, then of course we must too.” But internally, they will not feel it because the penetration of other souls into them is really minimal.
