Question: We fulfill what the Creator sends us. How can we do it correctly?

Answer: Ask Him. Ultimately, you have the opportunity to talk to Him, turn to Him, ask Him and not turn away, but insist that He explain everything to you.

But even if you do not ask, but just do, He will correct you. From this, you will learn how to respond correctly to His actions next time.

You need to work more among you; digest, and grind everything that you feel from the Creator.

If you cannot figure out your desires and intentions, ask Him about it. And it will turn out that on one hand you will come closer to Him, and on the other hand you will attract His attention.

Question: How can the ten move forward? Which force is better for it to use: pulling or repelling? After all, it happens that in daily routine actions, the ten moves at a normal speed and not with acceleration.

Answer: You should seek the pulling force more and then it will become easier to get out of the state of descent and indifference. You will strive to belong to the pulling force and the movement forward.

Where should you look for this power? In the Creator. Only in the Creator!

When you talk to each other about the Creator, you should feel that there is a force in the ten that pulls you forward. Ultimately it will truly manifest itself in you.

Question: Can we say that we initiate the pulling force with the help of prayer, and the force of repulsion is initiated by the Creator when we do not turn to Him?

Answer: In both cases we must seek the Creator and direct ourselves to Him.

Question: What is the difference between concealment and descent, or is it the same thing?

Answer: There is no connection between concealment and descent. Concealment is the action of the Creator when He moves away from us, while descent happens as a result of the concealment one finds oneself in after the Creator distances Himself.

Therefore, we must immediately begin to ask the Creator to bring us closer to Him and thus allow us to rise from concealment.

Question: Before Yom Kippur, we were studying very seriously, putting in great effort, and as a gift from the Creator, I was shown the difference between His demands of me, of all of us, and what I can offer Him today. What should I do with this?

Answer: You received a great revelation, a certain height of attainment. It is not that you reached it yourself; rather, you were shown how distant you are from the Creator.

Now you must continue working using all your strength, abilities, and actions to draw closer to Him, shed the shell of worthlessness, and with closed eyes run to Him, race toward Him.

Question: What is the difference between knowing there is none else besides Him and feeling it?

Answer: It is the difference between the mind and the heart.

Comment: But still I reveal this through thoughts.

My Response: No, you reveal it through feelings. If you can act against your own feelings, you will begin to sense whether you are doing it yourself or not.

Question: What is the difference between believing and feeling?

Answer: Faith and feelings are different things. I can feel, even if I do not believe or believe without feeling.

Question: How can feelings, faith, and reason be combined?

Answer: This is only possible if you unite hearts.

The quality of Isaac, who is “left,” there is also the quality of “right,” which is Hesed, and from there it receives life (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 316, “Adam HaRishon – 2”).

Question: When I perform an act of connection with the friends, I awaken the light upon myself and truly feel warmth and ease.

But then, suddenly, some disturbance arises, and I have to raise a prayer to return to the state of connection. Does the quality of “Isaac” come from this disturbance or my intensified yearning toward the Creator? What is this quality?

Answer: We need all the qualities because in the common Partzuf, when it reaches complete correction, all these qualities are fully expressed, and none are redundant.

Question: So is it like a push from inner desires that have not yet been revealed but they strengthen my yearning for spirituality?

Answer: Yes that is correct.

The Sukkah is made of four walls and a thatch. We should understand the meaning of walls and the thatch, which is waste of barns and vineyard. It is known that there are four sides, and above and below. These are called HGT and Malchut, and Netzach above and Hod below. (Rabash, Assorted Notes 892, “An Article for Sukkot”).

The thatch (roof or covering) of the Sukkah symbolizes the screen, which is the most essential part of the Sukkah. The four walls represent the conditions necessary for us to have a screen over us, meaning we must follow the rules for building a Sukkah.

Building a Sukkah means constructing the soul under new conditions. When we build it and complete the construction, we receive a corrected soul, which we essentially built by ourselves according to spiritual laws but with the forces received from above.

Question: Should each person build their own Sukkah, or should we do it together? What do you recommend?

Answer: You do not have to build a physical Sukkah, instead imagine that you are ready to stay in this state for an entire week, doing everything necessary because it is your inner state.

I think by next year, we will be ready to build a spiritual Sukkah between us, and then we will feel that we are inside it.

Question: You recently said that spiritual work requires order. What order are we talking about?

Answer: This refers to the order of our work to draw closer to the Creator when we are constantly looking for more and more prayers, requests, desires, and intentions.

Thus, we wish to get closer to the Creator with the help of all the means available to us.

Question: When we make extra efforts in our work, we accept the light and associate it with the merits of our forefathers, is there a need to bring spiritual intention into everyday physical actions thereby translating them into spiritual actions?

Answer: Certainly. All we talk about all the time is that we need to focus on actions that we can connect and direct to the Creator.

Question: And does the righteous always realize that evil does not have greater power than good and that he can overcome it with prayer?

Answer: If he is already righteous, then yes.
