Question: What is action in spirituality?

Answer: Action in spirituality is the revelation of a new desire in which you now want to be in connection with the Creator. Here you can give any example you wish.

Question: Let’s say I bring coffee to a friend, that is, I fill his desire. How can I add an intention for the sake of the Creator to this?

Answer: You give your intention to your friend along with the coffee. You pass it on to him in matter, in what you do for him, and that is it. By taking this coffee, he can also have the intention that he is doing this in order to preserve and increase the connection between you. Then this is realized in this way.

Question: Who is the ox that we make work for the Creator?

Answer: It is our heart that wants to work only for itself and only looks for gain for itself in every movement.

Question: Is the land that it cultivates also a heart, but an egoistic one?

Answer: Yes.

Question: How can we direct our heart to work in bestowal? That is, what in our work will be this yoke?

Answer: Put yourself in the place of the person about whom it is said that he wants to raise all the questions he has to the Creator and receive some kind of answer. This is his desire. Now, the only question is: does he receive the answer to his desire or not? If he does not, what should he do?

First, it is said: “As an ox to the burden and as a donkey to the load.” This means that he should treat his spiritual work in this way. If he reaches such a state of “as an ox to the burden and a donkey to the load” on the part of a person, this will be the correct attitude. Then the Creator will certainly give him strength for the sake of bestowal. And so he will continue.

Question: If we come to such a state where the body does not feel taste in spiritual work at all, although yesterday it seemed you were in total bestowal, is there any point in arousing fear in yourself?

Answer: No, you can try it and you will see how impossible it is to hold on to it, because real fear comes from above.

Question: But if I do fall into this state, what is the right way to fight it?

Answer: Pray. I cannot tell you anything else.

Question: Which sources are the most useful to read in this state?

Answer: Whatever we are studying. This primarily erases the feeling of fear.

Question: An ox works under coercion, under the pressure of its owner. That is, the owner is effectively present in its life. How can we make the ten into such a factor that obligates us to move forward?

Answer: There are a few actions we can take for that. First, observe how the friends give each other strength, how they inspire one another, how they hold themselves on the path. In this way, we gradually share the bit of enthusiasm we each have with one another and keep moving forward.

Question: Can we make the ten, which is a visible factor in the work, also become an extension of the Creator, so that the Creator would be revealed in it like that owner?

Answer: No, the Creator does not do that and will not do that. Because then it would turn out that we are working for the Creator because we feel Him.

Question: But is the point not to work for the sake of the Creator?

Answer: The point is to work for the sake of the Creator because we want to give Him contentment.

Question: Can an ox reach a state where it works not out of coercion but because it wants to please the owner?

Answer: For that, several conditions must be fulfilled. The work must not be done under pressure from the Creator. A person must correctly build their desire toward the Creator, meaning to give contentment to the Creator, and they must be free in this. They must decide that their goal is to bring contentment to the Creator.

Question: What do the Kabbalists mean when they say: “Everything must begin and end with the Creator“?

Answer: It is said that everything must begin and end with the Creator because the Creator is the cause of everything that happens in me; since I include this entire universe, I feel it, it is imprinted in me.

Through everything that I feel—inanimate, vegetative, and animate nature and people—the Creator speaks to me and helps me tune myself so that through these sensations I can come to Him and sense Him.

If I act in this way, I begin to understand the language of the Creator, how He speaks to me through all the influences on me, through my inner qualities, and how I treat myself. It is precisely He who initially evokes all my sensations and realizations in me.

He makes me understand that He does this so that I would want to discover Him in everything, as the root cause of myself, my sensations, and thoughts, and then try to figure out from what I received from Him in my heart and mind how I can find Him through this picture. By sensing the entire picture, I perceive it as His dialogue with me.

This is how the Creator communicates with me, without hiding behind this picture, and I must evolve in order to be able to feel Him. After all, when you are talking to a small child who still does not know how to speak, he is kicking his arms and legs, looking at you, and not knowing how to understand you. But gradually, through such efforts, he begins to understand you more and more.

The same thing happens with us. Like a small child, we must “kick” with all our qualities and capabilities and try to understand through this picture that is constantly imprinted in us what He wants to tell us by this; we must penetrate through it with a penetrating vision and see the Creator.

Everything that happens around us resembles a mother who bends over a child and speaks to him, and he does not know how to react to it. This is exactly how we should feel in relation to the world, and then we will gradually enter into contact with the Creator.

Question: We keep praying, but we see that every day we become more and more separated. Why does it work that way?

Answer: Because you need to clarify very precisely that you have nothing else but the need to unite. When you truly feel that, your future state will appear before you: connection with everyone without any conditions. That is what you need to achieve.

If you do not see a strong aspiration for spirituality in your friends, if you are not impressed by the environment, not inspired to bestow, then it means that you yourself are not investing in it. Start investing yourself in your friends, and you will see how they begin to influence you in return.

It is a very simple formula! I connect with the group, and together we reach a state where we begin to influence each other.

Our circle then becomes a spiritual vessel (Kli), where all our desires for spirituality unite, all the points in the heart, and above them, an anti-egoistic screen forms: our mutual bestowal.

Now, when we are all influencing one another, we must examine whether we are doing this for the sake of bestowal to the Creator. If yes, then we have a screen and reflected light. And immediately, the upper force is revealed to us in accordance with the similarity of our qualities.

I → Group → Soul—that is the entire formula!

Question: Why can our work contradict the teacher and the Creator? How can we act in harmony with the Creator and not be in opposition?

Answer: Once we are corrected and begin performing proper actions, we will then see how it is possible to be in harmony with the Creator and not contradict Him.

Until then we will always feel that we want to draw closer to the Creator, to be like Him, yet we experience various contradictions. These contradictions actually point us in the direction of proper closeness with the Creator.
