Question: When we correctly raise MAN, the response from the Creator comes to us in the form of MAD. Is it possible to understand whether our MAN was accepted or not?

Answer: Of course, this can be understood through the attitude of the Creator toward me: I am for the Creator and the Creator is for me.

Question: We act in the center of the connection of the ten. How can we discern the attitude of the Creator toward us through our prayer?

Answer: Treat Him as correctly as possible, and after that begin to read His response in the relationships between you.

Question: What changes? Is it some level of unity between us?

Answer: Everything changes. Absolutely everything.

Question: You said that everyone has their own Creator. When we unite and perceive each other’s Creator, what happens to Him? Does anything change?

Answer: The Creator combines all His images into one larger image.

Question: How does this affect our further interaction with Him?

Answer: If the unity is maintained, then you cling to Him even more, and if it is not maintained, then it is bad.

It is okay; you will gradually come to unity.

Question: Can all the desires of the Sitra Achra be forwarded to the Creator?

Answer: Of course.

Question: What is this state when I start arguing with the Creator that I do not want to do something?

Answer: This is your egoism.

Question: What is the difference between Klipa and Sitra Achra?

Answer: There is no difference.

Question: A person should calculate passions, habits, and so on. Should he also calculate what he does not even want for himself but asks the Creator for strength and does what he does not want to do?

Answer: Correct, a person should act this way by calculating what he would like to do but cannot, and ask the Creator for this. That is a very correct prayer.

Question: Working for the Creator should be done with joy. How can one distinguish joy from pleasure in spiritual work?

Answer: Try to distinguish it; this is an internal feeling of a person.

Question: If we, in the ten, receive pleasure from working for the Creator, is this Sitra Achra or not?

Answer: You need to check if you are working for the sake of pleasure or not. That is not easy.

Question: How does Kabbalah relate to the feeling of guilt that arises in me for not dedicating enough time to its study today?

Answer: You should not engage in self-reproach. It is not good. You just need to make peace with the Creator. That is, thank Him for what He gives you, for uplifting you, correcting you, and leading you forward. That is all.

More positive thoughts. Complaining to the Creator will not help you. Later, you will see that you were wrong.

Question: It is easy for us to love people who are close to us in their qualities. But how can we make ourselves love people who are not like us?

Question: What is hatred of others?

Answer: Hatred of others is dislike, a desire to move away from them, to distance oneself.

Question: How can we love our neighbor as ourselves? Do we need to see ourselves in him and love him?

Answer: You can imagine it this way, or you can imagine that your neighbor, whom you want to love, is connected with the Creator, and through him you will love the Creator.

Question: Does paying Maaser (tithing) help in advancing toward holiness?

Answer: Paying Maaser is necessary; otherwise, you will not have entry into the spiritual realm. My teacher Rabash did not allow those who were late in paying Maaser to attend classes.

Maaser is a very serious thing: a tenth of our income. It is this that helps us climb up the spiritual ladder. So take this into account.

Question: If I start paying Maaser now, do I have to pay Maaser for the years that I was in Bnei Baruch and did not pay?

Answer: You will have to do this. Maaser is the most important thing in our connection because this money represents a spiritual tithe. Very often people ask me if it is possible to pay more. No, you must pay exactly ten percent, as it says in the Torah: a tenth and no more.

Question: Do I need to know if my friends in the ten are paying Maaser, or should I be sure by faith above reason that they are?

Answer: Everyone in the ten should know this because you are advancing both personally and in the ten. Therefore, your advancement depends on the general payment of Maaser.

Question: When fulfilling another person, how can I avoid overfilling them so as not to harm them or provoke hatred in return?

Answer: We do not actually fulfill someone else, but rather connect with them. They are fulfilled through us.

Question: How can I avoid provoking hatred in return?

Answer: If your intentions and actions are correct, he cannot hate you for this. He cannot.
