Question: How much love can I receive in order to pass it on to my group?

Answer: If it is true love, then there is no limit to receiving love and no limit to giving it. The whole problem is in receiving love that does not turn out to be limitless. Baal HaSulam writes that boundless love turns into hatred in us. We cannot answer it because we cannot limit it in our Kli.

Therefore, if parents endlessly love their child, then they disfigure him. After all, he does not have the opportunity to feel where the boundaries are. As a result, he begins to hate his parents. It comes from nature. He gets the desire to pierce them, to do something in spite of them, because they do not set boundaries for him with their love.

It is a well-known principle that we receive everything in our Kli in a limited form. Thus, when we give something to another, we must explain these boundaries, convey them along with our love: “I love you from here to here and no more.”

By nature, we are very limited and do not perceive infinity, which we will be able to feel only with complete correction. Therefore, if you give infinite pleasure to a small Kli, it turns into hatred. In no case should you do that.

But you can always add love to our work. Do not be afraid, you are still far from making it endless.

Question: Will states of hatred in spiritual work constantly arise, and must they always be covered with love?

Answer: The Book of Zohar says that the students of Rabbi Shimon, who wrote this book together, experienced such intense emotions toward one another that they wanted to kill each other. This refers to great Kabbalists on high spiritual levels.

Therefore, if you think that your minor negative attitudes toward others will simply transform into good ones, don’t; such hopes are futile. On the contrary, even more irreconcilable feelings toward others will arise within you, so that you will ask the Creator to change them.

He will correct them, and simultaneously awaken deeper egoistic desires in you in which you will feel even greater hatred. Then you will ask Him for even more correction, and He will continue to correct them.

This is how, step by step, hatred followed by love, hatred followed by love, you will move forward.

Thus, the greater a person becomes compared to their friend, the greater their egoism because the previous levels of egoism have already been corrected.

Comment: Sometimes I feel hatred for the teacher and it is completely unexplainable.

My Response: Hatred for the teacher is an absolutely natural state and you do not have to conceal it. I will tell you why. Who is causing all the problems in your life?

Question: It used to come to the point that it seemed to me that it would be better if I leave completely, that I would feel good. It was this way. What should I do with this feeling? How can I not leave the group?

Answer: But you haven’t left.

Question: Yes, but this may happen again. I am afraid to leave.

Answer: This is the key that you will stay. You have to be afraid; otherwise, you will go down to the level of an animal.

You see where the world is heading to. What is the use of people living, no matter how good their lives are? At the same time, we have a clear path in front of us, and the first spiritual steps are beginning to unfold. I am happy that the sensations of the spiritual path, spiritual steps, and spiritual ascent are awakening in my students.

But the most important thing for us is to control the two forces, the positive and the negative, and advance forward on two legs. It means revealing the negative force and covering it with a positive one: left-right, left-right.

Why is the left first? It is because we are created in the desire to receive pleasure, in egoism. If it did not exist, we would not have any possibility or any necessity to connect with the Creator. Therefore, it always begins with the left: “And there was evening, and there was morning, one day.”

The true joy in spiritual work is the reward of faith above reason.

Is there joy in faith above reason? Of course, there is. The greatest joy is there because in this state a person is fully included in the Creator.

We should feel that we are pleasing the Creator in the ten. This should be our demand.

Question: How important is acting out joy when you do not feel it?

Answer: You need to tune in to joy and bestowal, and you will see how quickly this will advance you.

Question: How does the Creator open a person’s eyes and heart to His greatness?

Answer: The Creator does this with the help of light, and then a person receives the corresponding sensation.

To live in the ten in the greatness of the Creator means that each of the friends and all together they think only about how to reveal His greatness and move forward under the influence of this sensation.

Question: How can we properly correct those uncorrected desires that may have been hanging between us like heavy weights for years?

Answer: The fact is that we approach increasingly heavier desires gradually. The Creator reveals to us precisely the level of desires that we are capable of correcting.

Therefore, we should not run away from them, but, on the contrary, we should constantly bring them before the Creator. And then we will feel what is wrong between us, between us and the Creator. This is our work.

When a person moves forward and wants to be in harmony with the Creator, then he sees which of his desires contradict correction and hinder him. At that point, he turns to the Creator and asks for His help.

Question: How can we fully appreciate everything you are giving us? This is the best environment one could ask for!

Answer: That is exactly why we must connect with each other and rise our unity to a global scale. I believe we will eventually find ourselves united in one shared desire with one Creator for all. This will be the state of ultimate unity.

Comment: Dear Teacher, please stay with us always!

My Response: I will, don’t worry. The bond between us is one that time cannot break.

Question: What should I bestow to my friends and the entire ten from my desire to receive?

Answer: You must approach your friends and invite them to go to the Creator together and in such a way that you have no doubts that you are on the right path. In addition, you must give each other support and the right direction of thoughts and desires.

Question: What does it mean to give yourself completely to the Creator?

Answer: It means to be constantly in the intention to act for the sake of the Creator. If a person tries to adhere to this intention, then he has no descents.

Question: How can we help each other in the ten to reveal the common deficiency (desire) through which we can come to know the Creator?

Answer: In the ten, we must be connected to one another through mutual bestowal, mutual support, and mutual connection so that whatever each of us receives is distributed among all members of the ten.

If we think this way, we will begin to feel the connection within the ten. And then anyone who receives even a little from the Creator, from their action, from their prayer, will distribute this among everyone.

Question: How can we help each individual in the ten incorporate in the common deficiency in order to bring contentment to the Creator?

Answer: When you feel the need to turn to the Creator, draw in as many desires, sensations, and connections between yourselves and your friends as possible, and turn to the Creator so that He can unite and fill you.
