World Kabbalah Convention, Connecting to Lishma, Lesson 4

Question: Why does prayer become true only when a person feels completely lost?

Answer: Because he has absolute certainty that right now he needs the Creator and that nothing can help him except Him.

We must strive to reach this state.

Question: How can we reach a state when prayer forever dwells in the heart?

Answer: To achieve this, it is necessary to be under the influence of a good group where everyone is seeking the Creator, calling upon Him, turning to Him, and based on this, advancing forward.

Question: How can one make efforts to feel the state of the Garden of Eden in the ten and join the righteous?

Answer: First and foremost, it is essential to thoroughly delve into the excerpts from the primary sources that we read. Then, try to accept them in your heart and mind, understanding that everything we read should enter us through hearing or sight. After this, we must do everything possible to immerse ourselves in what is being discussed.

In this process, we aim to reach the highest point of our unity which is called the “Garden of Eden.”

Question: As I understand it, a state close to Lishma is when a person demands nothing except connection with the Creator. So, if as a result of his actions he achieves some kind of connection with Him, why should he add anything? After all, if he adds something, he risks adding incorrectly, making a mistake, and losing his connection with the Creator.

Answer: It is not quite like that. A person has asked, prayed, pleaded for the Creator’s support, moved forward, reached a certain level, and then realized he should have turned in a completely different direction.

What to do in this case? Change the prayer. Ask the Creator to guide a person out of the confused state, and lead him along with the Creator.

World Kabbalah Convention, Connecting to Lishma, Lesson 4

Question: We can talk endlessly about how much we invested in the congress and how we prepared for it. Now the congress is coming to an end. There is only one more meal left and it is over! That is it. There is no strength to pray. This is one point.

And the other point is that you are obliged to ask for all your friends. Everyone has come and wants to reveal the Creator. And the Creator wants to reveal Himself. It is such a crisis when you have to pray, but you cannot!

What should we do now? What do we ask for?

Answer: What to ask for? I cannot tell you. You need to figure out what your greatest ultimate desire is, the desire with which you want to turn to the Creator. This is what He must fulfill.

You can turn to Him with such a genuine request that He will have not dodge. He expects such a request from you.

Question: And what is a genuine request?

Answer: It is what you truly would like to receive from the Creator.

Question: If we feel the evil inclination in ourselves and want to correct it, we can ask the Creator for help because only He has the power to change our nature. But what can we ask of the teachers, of the righteous?

Answer: The same as of the Creator.

Question: What is the difference then?

Answer: You are surrounded by your friends, you feel each other, you can rise and fall relative to each other. But if you relate to your friends only as to those who are above or below you, this is insufficient.

Question: Does this mean that I need to feel connected with my friends and from this connection turn to the righteous and teachers with the same requests as to the Creator?

Answer: No, through your connection with friends you must turn to the Creator, because the group of friends must lift you up and lead you to the Creator.

Question: In one of your books, you described the phenomenon of the Shechina. Now that we have gathered at the convention, there is a feeling that the Shechina is literally present between us, making this the holiest place. How can we all reveal it together?

Answer: You want to jump from the very first point of our path straight to its final point. That is practically impossible. But you must ask, think, and pray for it.

Question: What can help prayer become a part of me?

Answer: It depends on how much the prayer comes from the heart.

Question: What should be done to thank the Creator?

Answer: If you feel gratitude toward the Creator for what He is doing for you now, all you can do is bow before Him and surrender to Him, so that He continues working on you further.

Question: To rise, do you need to feel your own pain or the pain of others?

Answer: Your own.

Question: How should we turn to the Creator in states of descent and hopelessness?

Answer: In such states, you must stop all your internal sensations and raise them to the Creator. This will be the most correct and reliable action.

Question: Is joy and gratitude toward the Creator also correction?

Answer: Not “also,” this is the correction.

Question: How can we—those who haven’t yet reached spiritual understanding—raise the importance of this work in the ten? Since when we go home now, part of us simply feels spiritually dead.

Answer: You are still and will be for some time under the direct guidance of the Creator. So keep this in mind. Everything that happens to you is a result of external influence. Try to write down the most vivid phrases, appeals to the Creator, and make them key for yourself. After that, we will go together.

Question: It is said one should thank the Creator for the past and for what will happen to him in the future. How can we help each other hear His answer correctly and thank Him?

Answer: How do we understand the Creator’s answer correctly? I would advise you to consider that you have received the answer, even though you do not understand it. Consider that the Creator clears all paths and ways to Him before you.

You can come and address Him, draw closer to Him, and demand from Him. But in fact this will happen when you accumulate your efforts and your requests and raise all this to the Creator. Then He will answer you.

Comment: Usually after a congress we say that there is no need to cling to what we have experienced. But for some reason this time there is a strong desire to hold on to the feeling of unity.

My Response: You are beginning to feel the common Kli and receive Ohr Makif (surrounding light) from it. It starts to lift you up, protect you, and hold you within itself. That is why, as we start from this Congress and move forward, it is very important to begin to take some steps on your own in the spiritual world, in spiritual connection.

You have tens, and you have a connection among them. In each country there are 10, or 20, or even 30 tens. I am ready to visit you, and ready to give online lessons from here. So it all depends on you, on how you organize yourself.
