Question: What is the awe from the fact that the Creator is great and rules over everything?

Answer: It is awe before the power that includes all worlds and controls everything. Moreover, its control does not depend on time, place, or movement. It passes through distances and obstacles. This is the power of the Creator.

Question: Until I reveal the Creator, I am in awe of my teacher and friends. Is this the same thing?

Answer: In general, yes. If you have such a connection with your friends, then you will have a connection with me and then with the Creator.

Question: When I need to connect with someone and I do not like that person, is it possible to see that the Creator is benevolent to me in this situation, even in an abstract sense?

Answer: I do not know what it means that the Creator is good to me. To the extent that I realize that the entire program works solely for me, for my benefit, I start to reveal that everything in the world exists only to help me correctly express myself within the overall creation.

I begin to discover that I am the only being capable of acting independently within all of creation, that there is no one else in the world except me and the Creator. Then, I realize what I truly need to do.

At this point, it is necessary to nullify my egoism to rise to the level of the Creator as a partner and constantly remain in this state. As it is written: “And his heart was lifted up in the ways of the Lord.”

We must feel that we are chosen, special, and capable of bringing the world to correction and a new state. The Creator has chosen us and we must be worthy of this choice and not beg Him to grant us some egoistic indulgences.

We must act in accordance with the mission He has entrusted to us, and under no circumstances should we lower our heads. On the contrary, we should elevate ourselves even higher so that the mission given to us truly fills and inspires us.

Question: How does prayer help build a screen if we do not ask for it directly or we do not explicitly say in the prayer: “We ask to build a screen”?

Answer: You are asking for it because you are praying for someone else. By doing this, you build the screen.

Asking for someone else is the most reliable way to change yourself and your position regarding the entire Kli.

Before one is answered for this prayer of the poor, how can it be said that He will answer him the prayer of Moses, which is the Torah (Rabash, Assorted Notes, 436, “Three Prayers”).

Question: What does it mean that the Creator answers the prayer of the poor?

Answer: The poor means someone who has nothing. Therefore, the prayer of the poor is a specific prayer coming from a person who feels deprived. And if his prayer is based on this, then the Creator answers him due to his huge deficiency (Hissaron).

Question: How should the Creator answer the prayer of the poor?

Answer: You will see how He does it gradually, in different ways.

Question: Is it possible to find examples of such a prayer somewhere?

Answer: There are books called Siddur. You can find many different prayers in them. So take these prayer books, read them, and you will see how the Creator answers you.

Hence, when teaching morals, we see the importance of Torah and Mitzvot [commandments], meaning which level of pleasure one can have, as well as which punishment he might suffer (Rabash, Assorted Notes, “Hear, My Son, Your Father’s Ethics – 1“).

Question: How do we reveal these measures of pleasure on our path?

Answer: Gradually, we begin to feel that there are immense fulfillments in the spiritual realm for both the mind and the heart. Moreover, the pleasure you experience practically fills the entire world. Some feel it more, some less, but through you, the world is filled as well.

Question: In the group of ten, I can clearly sense from which of my actions the Creator derives pleasure. And what about the nations of the world? How should I engage with them in a way that brings pleasure to the Creator?

Answer: Reveal the purpose of creation to the nations of the world and help them move toward this goal in some way.

Question: What is better to strive for from the point of egoistic fear: real fear or a state of trust in the Creator?

Answer: Both are necessary. You need to reveal all the vessels (Kelim) within you, examine what is felt in them, and then return to the Creator with this.

Question: The Creator has no desire to receive, so He has no fear. Can we reach such a state to become like Him?

Answer: You want to become similar to the Creator, so you work toward this. Eventually, all your egoistic fears disappear because they are replaced by adhesion with the Creator, connection with Him.

That is how we should feel our progress.

Question: In our ten, we are trying to grasp the state of fear. How can we present this together to the Creator?

Answer: You should discuss among yourselves and come to a specific conclusion about what exactly you want to request from the Creator. Then connect and express your desire to Him. That is possible.

Question: I have a fear of my desires that I do not even know and certainly do not control. Should I be afraid of this?

Answer: Be concerned about what is in your heart now, about your current qualities.

Question: If the Creator shows us the suffering of ordinary people and we are directly related to it, is there any work of ours here, correction as tens?

Answer: Of course there is. Empathizing with someone’s suffering allows us to take away a piece of that suffering and make it easier for them.

Question: What should we do in this case? Gather for common prayer? What should our actions be?

Answer: You just have to ask for the best for everyone. That’s all.

Question: You teach us that ultimately everything depends on the correct request to the Creator. How can we ask correctly from the heart of the ten?

Answer: Try to imagine the pain the Creator feels when we are distant from Him and how much pleasure we can bring Him if we ask to draw closer to Him and to be included in Him. That is very important.

Question: If I see flaws in others, it is as if I am looking at myself in a mirror. Is the right action to immediately turn to the Creator to correct myself? How can I make this action automatic, or would making it automatic be a detriment?

Answer: It depends on what you ask for. If you ask for the correction of this quality in yourself, naturally, you should expect yourself to change in some way. If you are asking for friends, you should see how much they are changing. But in any case, there will be changes.

Question: If the transgression I see is mine, do I need to say automatically, “This is me? Do I need to be corrected?”

Answer: Yes.

Question: Does this mean that any request is about correcting yourself?

Answer: This is how it is. Do not worry. The main thing is to ask.

Question: And if I ask for correction of a friend without seeing specific flaws in him, does it mean I do not have them either?

Answer: This also happens.

Question: So you do not always need to instantly attribute any flaw to yourself, right?

Answer: No, but when I ask for the correction of some flaw, I can ask for myself at the same time.
