Question: It is said that we should strive for a state of rest, but what about the Kabbalistic postulate: “If not me, then who?” How can you be at peace if the Creator expects you to act?

Answer: At the same time you can be at peace because you consider this state to be the most stable, the most correct.

Question: Does the degree of rest depend on our choice?

Answer: Yes, it does.

Question: Can I determine my state by the influence of the power of rest on me?

Answer: No, not yet. You have to enter and exit the state of rest into the opposite several times while trying not only to achieve peace, but also actual spiritual actions, and then you will begin to feel your place in the system of forces.

Question: It is said that a complete righteous person is one who has corrected their past. What does that mean?

Answer: To correct the past means that you no longer reveal current or especially past transgressions because all of them are transformed into entirely just and proper actions. Such a person is called a complete righteous (Tzadik Gamur).

Question: But is it possible to correct the past?

Answer: Of course. Past transgressions are covered by present correction, so we should not worry about them. They will be corrected along the way.

In principle, the past, present, and future exist only in relation to our perceptions. In reality, none of these truly exist.

Question: When you stand before the Creator in trembling, like during an exam, and you’ve passed this exam, you experience a state of powerlessness because you’ve done everything you could. What is this state?

Answer: It is indeed a state of powerlessness because you have given everything according to all your feelings.

Question: The Creator knows what is in every person’s heart. So why do we still need to give an answer to the Creator? Is this like a reverse connection to the Creator?

Answer: Of course, you need to work on the connection with Him.

Question: If a person feels a longing for the Creator, what should they do with this longing?

Answer: Pray, pour it out to the Creator.

Question: How can we develop a deeper emotional closeness with each other?

Answer: Think about it more.

Question: What should we fight for every day, every minute, every moment? What is the spiritual battle in which the Creator must always prevail?

Answer: We must fight for all our actions, not only physical but also mental, to have a purposeful meaning; otherwise, we won’t move forward. We need to reach the point where our actions come only from the good inclination.

Question: How can the quality of suffering point to the action the Creator expects from us?

Answer: It is pretty simple. The Creator always awaits only one action—unification with others and a request for Him to fill everyone. That is all.

Question: Sometimes there is a lack of a specific connection with some part of the Kli, which we cannot always determine. Perhaps it is possible to understand precisely where this connection is missing from suffering.

Answer: Keep stubbornly moving forward, and you will see that the Creator exposes this connection and is waiting for you.

Question: You said we need to build connections based on our achievements, not on what we lack. So should we not pay much attention to what we lack in our connections?

Answer: You should be mindful of it, but not in a way that stops you.

Question: If we are still not in Lo Lishma (receiving for our own sake), then where are we?

Answer: You are still in egoism. A sign that you have entered Lo Lishma is the ability to position yourself in a way that you can overcome your egoistic intentions.

The transition from Lo Lishma to Lishma happens gradually. At each spiritual degree, specific desires that are defined by that degree are revealed.

Question: Can a person, through a special awakening from above, immediately reach Lishma without going through Lo Lishma?

Answer: No, in no way. We attain Lishma only after we go through the state of Lo Lishma.

Question: We want to give all power to the Creator. How should we relate to the fact that some people try to seize power over others? What should the reaction in our hearts be in relation to the Creator?

Answer: Everyone works for themselves. Therefore, if my friend chooses something for himself in spirituality, I do not interfere.

Question: We see that there is a very fierce struggle for power. What should we do: nullify ourselves or pray for everything to change? It seems that we do not obey the Creator.

Answer: We must go through what Rabash writes about in our desires. And then we will develop the right attitude toward our actions.

Question: If a person constantly falls ill after participating in physical congresses,  is there any connection between his physical body and spiritual advancement?

Answer: Yes, this may be because he enters a particular environment where all sorts of forces influence him, which he is not yet able to tolerate without going beyond the boundaries of health.

Thus, some people complain that after the congresses they feel like they are out of the ordinary framework of life. Not because something bad happens to them, but precisely because they receive the impact of the reward for seeking closeness with other friends.

Therefore, they experience severe deviations in different directions, which do not harm them. On the contrary, it makes them healthier.

After all, we learn from Kabbalah that every recovery is associated with an even greater sensitivity to illness.
