Responsibility for Progressing toward the Creator

929There must be many separate people in the world, each of whom carries an elementary piece of common egoism. We are the consequences of our previous changes. As Baal HaSulam writes, there are no new souls in our world that are just beginning their development from the most elementary states.

Each of us carries very important information, and without it, there will be no complete correction, no perfect states of the soul—the creation. Everyone should understand their responsibility for the opportunity to advance the whole creation to the Creator by their own efforts, because without him it is unattainable.

Each person is not just a small particle striving toward the Creator and advancing the collective soul by a tiny millimeter, no! In spirituality, this is a much more complex and comprehensive movement. When a person works on uniting with others, they completely become that single soul created by the Creator.

Spirituality does not divide into parts, does not dissolve, and does not multiply. It gradually reveals itself to a person as an eternal, perfect, and unified state. Everything happens only to the extent that our perceptions are corrected.

The Meaning of True Pleasure

276.02Question: What is the meaning of true pleasure in life?

Answer: The meaning of life is to attain the Creator because this is the highest pleasure we can achieve.

We are made in such a way that the light we absorb from the Creator, called His revelation, is the greatest fulfillment; there is no other.

Eternal Question

627.2Question: How can we live without coming back to the question about the meaning of life?

Answer: This question will be repeated every day and even several times a day. We cannot advance without it. Therefore, the Creator sends it to us.

But when we answer this question, we feel it differently every time: deeper, more exalted, and so on. So, we must ask ourselves what the meaning of life is and make attempts to rise.

Intention for Action

281.01Question: If we receive blessings in intention, does it mean that the specific action we perform does not matter?

Answer: If this action leads to the dissemination of Kabbalah and correction of the world, then this action is of course desirable and higher than others. We work on the intention for the action. Intention alone, without action, has no right to exist.

Question: There is the intention we create before the action. And there is the true intention that we receive as a result of our efforts in the actions. How can I understand if I am feeling the true intention or if I am deceiving myself?

Answer: Deceive yourself, it does not matter. The main thing is that you are engaged in the work.

The Reason for Creating Created Beings

712.03The Creator is everywhere. This is the common, united, single, constantly operating force of the entire universe. Everything that exists besides Him is called a creation, specially created by Him and existing in Him.

We are inside the Creator—inside this common light. Our task is to reveal Him, to unite with Him, to achieve absolutely complete dissolution, unification, similarity, and adhesion with Him.

This is the meaning or reason for creating created beings that are opposite to the Creator. Our work, our goal is to understand what the qualities of the Creator are and how we can change ourselves to come closer to Him.

This is the essence of human existence in our world in the state in which we find ourselves—in a state that is created by the upper light, working on our egoistic desire to receive, enjoy, maintain ourselves at every moment of life only for ourselves.

This desire automatically works in us, and we must realize it and understand it—whether we agree with it or not—and then rise above it in order to achieve coupling, connection, and agreement with the Creator.

In Line to the Creator

423.02Question: If we observe the desires of ordinary people, many of them are balanced by the laws of nature and are rewarded with pleasures of the material world.

This does not seem to contradict the highest law to delight His creation at their level.

Answer: When necessary, He pulls them up.

Question: What is the role of this part of creation?

Answer: They are waiting for their turn.

Question: At the level of desires, should we also be balanced, that is, be in harmony with the general governance? Or are the desires of Kabbalists balanced only by the study of Kabbalah?

Answer: Only by studying Kabbalah.

How Can We Become a Carrier of Light?

572.02Question: A Kabbalistic book becomes the carrier of the light of correction, when we work with it correctly. When each of us goes to work every day, is he a carrier of light?

Answer: If we do not have the intention, then we are not carriers.

It is necessary to have the intention to bestow, to love, and to infect others with the attitude of love for everyone.

In a Sine Wave

138Question: There is no time in the spiritual, i.e., we enjoy the present, past, and future as a a whole. Could my purpose in our world be to see it all as one whole?

Answer: It depends on the person, to what extent one feels one’s state, to what extent one can divide it into past, present, and future, and to what extent one is with one’s friends, and through them, can pass his sensations.

Question: What will help a person who seems to have lost the ability to dream and imagine the state of bestowing to the Creator?

Answer: Relax a little by reading Kabbalistic books and participate in what you can. There are ascents and descents; everything goes in a sine wave.

Connection between the Tens

938.05Question: You said that there is a lack of connection between the tens. We mostly focus on connection within the ten. What is connection between tens?

Answer: The connection between tens should be like the connection between all people: each one shall help his friend. But for one ten to help another, we need the upper force, the Creator, to whom we pray to take care of the other ten. This is what we can do, as it is said: “He who prays for his friend receives first.” Therefore, by turning to the Creator with a request to take care of a certain ten, we will feel how this works on us.

Question: How do we build this work correctly? For example, which ten should my ten take care of?

Answer: Tens that are close to you both linguistically and geographically.

Question: So should each ten take care of another ten?

Answer: No, it is not about taking care of them in a way that helps them rise. On the contrary, by helping them, you yourself ascend and become more similar to the Creator.
