Question: How can I to what extent I am in soul devotion, for example, per gram or per kilogram?

Answer: First you check this in relation to the friends and then in relation to the Creator.

Words explain very little about these states  because verifying ourselves in relation to the friends and the Creator are, in essence, such high states that we cannot control them in any way.

We can launch them through the Creator, because if I want to do this, then I ask the Creator for it, and He does it. But we ourselves cannot do it in any way.

Question: Does each person have their own measure of effort or is it the same?

Answer: Each person has their own. We cannot compare them.

Question: How can I feel the friends’ lacks if we do not speak about them directly but only abstractly, not from feelings but from the intellect?

Answer: That does not matter. What matters is what you think, dream about, and decide. You wish to act practically based on your decision.

Question: If I feel certain needs, can I say that the friends lack the same and then pray for the Creator to give it to them as well?

Answer: No, you should not measure the friends by yourself.

Question: How do we check what level of bestowal we have reached in the ten?

Answer: We must reach a level of bestowal that resembles the Creator. But that, of course, is a very high level. And before that it is tens or even hundreds of times less.

Question: Increasing the greatness of the Creator overcomes all obstacles in the ten. How can we further raise His greatness in the ten and in the entire world Kli so that we can all unite and cover everything with love?

Answer: Only if you are among people who care about it. Together, you raise His greatness in your conversations, meals, actions, and so on. And the higher the importance of the Creator in your eyes, the more you will raise yourself.

Moreover, by elevating the greatness of the Creator, you will please Him.

A person can exist within the desires of a “slave,” a “woman,” and a “child,” whether they understand them or not. After all, an infant is so little; it does not understand its own state. A person might say: “I am little.” Why? Because one sees the “big” one. But what does it mean to be “little”? One must become “big” in order to examine what it means to be “little.”

A person cannot comprehend the level they are on, one cannot surpass it, because the cause of their level and all the forces acting upon it exist on a higher level, perhaps not even the closest higher one, but a level that contains Rosh, Toch, and Sof acting in relation to their current state.

A child may be two, three, or four years old; these are all levels, but not levels from which he can know what a small child truly is.

Therefore, in any case, when we are talking about people immersed in self-love who are in fact under the control of the desire to receive, then because they are under its influence, they are not free from it.

And in order to advance them, to pull them from level to level, from state to state, until they exit the desire to receive and acquire the property of Bina, to be able to critically analyze this desire and determine their relationship to it at least to some degree independently, we must relate to them in a way that their own desire wants advancement. Otherwise, by what means would they move forward?

Thus, one must supply their desire to receive with appropriate fulfillments each time.

This is exactly what the sages, the Kabbalists who understand human nature, advise.

Question: Ultimately who is at war with the evil inclination, us or the Creator?

Answer: The Creator, and we help Him by pushing Him to do this, by supporting Him with our constant connection. This is the only way.

Question: If during the day one discovers he is not in a real war, there is no sincere prayer for inclusion in his friends, for helping them, then you need to start mentally developing this prayer.

I noticed that the evil inclination works against this thought, devalues it by saying if this is not a sincere prayer, it is better not to even start it. It seems pointless, it is not a real war. How does thinking of friends give them the strength to fight?

Answer: Here you need to take several cases like this and sort them out one against the other, then you will understand how to discern them.

Question: When we feel the strong influence of the Creator on us, is our effort to use the power of the group to come to inner peace, to hold it, or to feel in these efforts how the Creator rejoices? After all, it is written, our heart will rejoice in Him.

Answer: What will our hearts rejoice in? Only in the point where your qualities merge with those of the Creator.

Question: What kind of help do we need from our friends?

Answer: We need support. We only need an example and support in actions, which I acquire from my friends and wish to implement.

Question: What should be the correct outcome of the war with the evil inclination? Are we supposed to lose so that in the end the Creator will help us?

Answer: No, we are not supposed to lose. On the contrary, we must try to do everything in this war to win each small private battle with the Creator.

We need to imagine ourselves already entering the work for the Creator, being in connection with Him and at the same time with the impure force that hides the Creator from us and does not want us to be constantly connected with Him.

If we begin to imagine all this in such a way, then even such a neutral state will already be a good starting point for us.

Question: If a friend does not come to the morning lesson, should I relate to him with faith above reason and think that he is fighting together with us, or should I relate to him in some other way?

Answer: How can he be fighting with you if he does not attend the lessons?

A lesson is like a battlefield. When we come to one place, whether physically or virtually, we try to imagine ourselves as united with others. And it turns out that the main thing is to be in thought together with everyone.

Being virtually on the battlefield does not mean that I am sleeping and dreaming of being with my friends. It means that I see myself and them on the screen and we are all going into battle right now.

The Light that returns to the source is the only means, the only tool, by which I correct desire. All I have is desire and light, which is called “the light that returns to the source,” because that’s exactly what I demand from it.

We give this light various names: “inner,” “surrounding,” “NRNHY,” and so on. But fundamentally, I demand that it return me to the source, to goodness. That is the only way I can address it.

My appeal can be only like this. I cannot demand the light of Nefesh or the light of Ruach; this will be the result of my state. But in order to change that state, I must address the Light, invoke its action, and it is this light, the one that returns to the source, that acts upon me.

I have instructions that explain how to act, how to work in a group, to study, to disseminate. These instructions are generally called “Torah,” i.e., the teaching (Oraa), a guide for action. According to the Torah’s program, I go through all the stages of the path that it describes.

So this is a simple matter. I have an egoistic desire and light that can transform it. And I myself stand in the middle, in the middle third of Tifferet, and decide to change or not. This choice is not made in isolation but in an environment, in a group.

In the end, I depend on rather “superficial,” “mechanical” actions. I join a group and lower my head before it. I do everything the friends want, and from them I receive the desire to be corrected thanks to envy, lust, and honor. With this desire, received from the group, I appeal to the light so that it will correct me. Then it comes and does just that. And in the new state—it all starts again.

From this it is clear that I receive both the desire and the correction (the screen) from the outside, from the group and the Light. I am that single, base point called: “something from nothing.”
