Move Forward

254.01Question: How should we properly work with the impressions that the Creator sometimes gives in a dynamic way so that something becomes clearer to us? It seems that some fragment of His governance is revealed, but then everything is erased, and it is clear that it was just another stage, and a new degree is ahead.

Answer: So what? You need to work with what you receive and what is revealed to you.

Question: So should we trust such a state? Or should we somehow restrict it, doubt it?

Answer: No, in no case should you doubt it. Accept it from the Creator wholeheartedly and move forward to the new level.

Buy the Truth

096Question: It is said to buy the truth and not sell it. How can one internally attune themselves to properly transmit divine truth through themselves without losing it?

Answer: This happens when you understand everything you feel and receive from the Creator, and you wish to correct it to return it to Him, to respond to Him. Moreover, the response must be correct and very heartfelt, as you want to cling to the Creator with all your heart and soul.

Question: Is the truth an all-encompassing global love, and can we only feel it through the heart by letting go of everything else?

Answer: Yes, but much effort and scrutiny are necessary to reach such a state. However, once this is all attained, no further scrutiny is required.

Question: Where does the desire to buy the truth come from?

Answer: From the connection with friends when you lack the opportunity to cling to the Creator, to the states you are going through, to understand them more deeply.

Feel Free to Contact the Creator

549.02Question: If we only have the desire to receive, where does the impulse of the desire to give to the Creator and nullify come from? Due to what forces? And how can we capture and use these forces?

Answer: We have these forces in the required quantities. Don’t think about where they come from. Or you can ask the Creator or even without asking, tell Him that you want to do this and that for Him.

Comment: My desire is very selfish.

My Response: So what? It is ok. The main thing is to calmly and freely turn to Him.

Three States of a Person in Relation to the Creator

235Question: When does bestowing to the Creator come from inner resistance and when out of gratitude? What is the difference in these forms for the Creator and for a person?

Answer: The difference is very significant. Bestowing can come from internal resistance or above internal resistance, meaning, without it, or out of gratitude. These are three different states of a person in relation to the Creator.

What is preferable? It is preferable if a person feels that as if he has no connection with the Creator at all.

He needs to overcome himself in order to start feeling a connection with the Creator, and then draw closer to Him, check, think about what he can do for the Creator. And then ask the Creator to help him pull himself out of this state, lift himself up in order to turn to the Creator with a request, and thus move forward.

The Reward for Good Deeds

562.02Comment: We conducted a workshop on the topic “Why do prayers fail?” But if my prayer is for my friends to reveal the Creator, I won’t know if they have revealed Him or not.

My Response: You’ll be the first to know about it. That is what it says in Rabash’s article: “The one who prays for his friend is the first to receive.”

You should know the first twenty articles of Rabash by heart! There are also other articles.

Question: I know that. The question is something else. You said I should forcibly think about the good of the friends, imagine the most ideal state, and ask the Creator for it for my friends. If I pray for the Creator to unite all my friends constantly and return to this thought many times during the day, what is wrong with my prayer?

Answer: Who said it is wrong?

Comment: If it is not answered, it is incorrect.

My Response: That is what is wrong, you are waiting for an answer to it. So you are working for a reward.

If you repeat the same prayer all the time and clarify what else you can add or remove from it so it comes as much as possible from the depths of your heart, this is your reward.

Question: So the reward is that the Creator gives me the opportunity to ask and constantly returning to this request during the day?

Answer: That is why it is said: “Schar HaMitzvah–Mitzvah“—”The reward for good deed is a good deed.”

How Not to Remain Insensitive to the Pain of Another?

531.03Question: How can you feel another person’s suffering and at the same time see the great love and care of the Creator behind it?

How can you not be callous to another person’s pain?

Answer: If you think about it, it will gradually come.

Question: What is more important now: to see the love of the Creator or to enter the Hisaron of another person and feel his pain? What should we look at first?

Answer: You need to look at how close you are to others and try to help them in all their actions.

How Does the Creator Evaluate Us?

599.02Question: You said that the Creator is displeased with us and as a result, with you. Does the Creator also evaluate us, your students, based on the success of our children, meaning those to whom we spread the teachings and those we care for?

Answer: The Creator evaluates you based on the extent to which each of you can annul yourself to come together as one group. His evaluation is derived from this.

From Corporeal Suffering to Suffering of Love

509Question: Can a person identify his spiritual problem if the Creator sends him an illness in some specific organs? For example, if his throat, hip, arm, and so on start to hurt?

Answer: He can. What difference does it make what hurts? If the Creator simultaneously gives him the opportunity and strength to turn to Him, it does mean suffering but suffering of love.

Question: How can one move from corporeal suffering to suffering of love?

Answer: You must constantly think about this: in what way are you distant from the Creator, why do you not feel Him near you or inside you, or yourself inside Him?
