Daily Kabbalah Lesson – 9/13/26
Posted on September 13th, 2026
Question: What new thing can we bring in so that we can awaken anew the greatness of the Creator within us?
Answer: In every state, you will have to awaken the awareness of the same greatness of the Creator within yourself: He is the greatest. And you will have to do this by playing a game toward one another. We do not see Him, and we therefore have to play.
Do not say that you have already gone through this; you will go through it thousands of times more, and each time you will despair. And then something will happen.
What exactly? You will reach a state of despair because you are unable to reveal the greatness of the Creator. Look at how deeply you need to reach this despair: you want to reveal His greatness, because without awareness of it, you cannot live. Then He will show you His greatness, the light of AB-SAG, and will give you a screen.
For this purpose, you are now performing actions; you are artificially raising MAN from the darkness. This, essentially, is what you are engaged in.
Question: We are talking about a game in which there are no spectators. Does a friend have to participate in it in the same way as I do?
Answer: Of course, a friend must respond. When I speak about myself in relation to the group, I am naturally also speaking about each person in relation to me. There is no doubt about this. What I said to the person who asked the question applies to everyone. However, I was as if proposing that he take responsibility for encouraging everyone to participate in this game.

Involving the Group in the Play
Question: You gave an example about a teacher in an external group who seems to exist in a state of perfection and speak from the height of attainment. As a result, his group became inspired by him. If we start to behave this way, does that mean that each of us should portray ourselves as a Kabbalist who has essentially reached the end of correction? How do we do this?
Answer: That’s wonderful. You are saying that if we behave this way, then we will appear to one another as the greatest sages of the generation, as though we are at the end of correction. Then I will suddenly see what great people have gathered here. This is precisely what you should see.
Question: But how do we achieve this?
Answer: Artificially. Artificially, do you understand? You act as though you are expressing a desire to be in such a state. If this is what is required, you are ready to do it.
But what does it mean to “do it”? I can “do” something based on my feeling, my intellect, on everything I have. But I have neither feeling nor intellect; I have nothing. So how do we do it? That is why I say: let’s play. How can we oblige a person to do something? Let’s turn for a second to psychology. How can someone force me to do something? After all, a person is forced to do something against his desire, against his inner impulse.
Question: How do we advance toward this state? Because if everyone steps into their roles, then it might simply be something pleasant.
Answer: I do not know. You are that wise man who already “sees the newborn.” But I am not a wise man because in such a situation I simply do not know how to advance. They told me: “Do this.” And that is it. Perhaps I will do it, and nothing will come of it. I will become confused, disappointed, hate the group, and so on. And perhaps that will be the desired result. How should I know?
I merely humble my own intellect and do what the sages tell me. That is all. I am not going to look ahead to the next degree to see what I will become. The next degree lies above my intellect, and I do not understand what is happening there.

Play Life
Question: You said that thought plays an active role, no action. So how can I influence my friends if both they and I know that it is a lie?
Answer: That is not the case. Many people attend the lessons you conduct, and in their eyes you are a completely righteous person, a great Kabbalist who has attained great degrees, corrections, inspiration, and righteousness. This is how they perceive you. Why?
Comment: I am not trying to appear that way.
My Response: It does not matter. You do it subconsciously; otherwise, they simply would not listen to you. After all, who are you? From the outset, you have to come to them as a perfect person. What does “perfect” mean? It means being in connection with the Creator, in awareness of His greatness, and in awareness of His goal.
Question: But if I feel this on a subconscious level, then I am already conveying to them an inspiration that is not false?
Answer: You are forgetting. You are simply playing in such a way that it seems to you as though everything is really so.
And it does not matter how you play the role. We are not talking about your starting point. Whether you are actually in such a sensation or not, whether you are aware of it or not; that doesn’t matter. Play the part in relation to the group, and in response you will receive something from the friends that you will perceive as truth. Hearing about the greatness of the Creator from the group will give you the fuel to advance in the same direction. Just hearing it. Everyone speaks about the same thing: there is nothing more important than this.
Look at the influence that mass media have on us. Why shouldn’t it work for us? Try it. This is the one thing that you must develop and do yourself. And this is what we must give to the world. Am I giving the world knowledge about the light of AB-SAG? I am giving them the greatness of the Creator. In virtual lessons, I constantly speak precisely about this.
And everything else is only so that they will have the letters from which they can form words on that same subject, the subject of the greatness of the Creator. There is nothing besides this. Everything else—the stories, ascents, descents, the lights of AB-SAG, screens—speaks only about how to hold on to the awareness of the importance of the Creator. That is all. We have no other subject; simply none. Take the article “There Is None Else Besides Him” and read it again.
Question: Perhaps we should divide into small subgroups?
Answer: It does not matter whether the group is large or small. I do not need to divide our society for this. I simply have to give everyone precisely this. That is all. What difference does it make to me whether we divide or not? Through all my actions, I must show that they are caused by inspiration from the awareness of the greatness of the Creator.

The Importance Of The Creator
Question: What is satisfaction?
Answer: Satisfaction is the sensation of the Creator that a person experiences after attaining the goal. The Kli (vessel) that we acquire is a passionate longing for the Creator, the original Hisaron (deficiency) from which He created us. In other words, it is the very same need that a cow feels when it wants to feed its calf. This is the kind of Hisaron we acquire.
It is not my desire to receive in order to bestow. Rather, it is the Creator’s desire to bestow to me, a desire that I come to attain and live by. When I fill this desire, my sensation within it is called satisfaction. In fact, it is not my desire and not my sensation. I do not feel myself within it. I live within Him; I feel Him.
My “I” disappears. That is, we return to the state called Yesh (existence), while Ein (absence) disappears.
This desire is not even for the sake of bestowal; it is above that. The pleasure that governs this desire is in the Creator, as it is written: “For in Him our hearts shall rejoice.”
This is an entirely different Kli, which is fundamentally different from the Kli of creation.

In Rabash’s article “What Is the Prohibition to Teach Torah to Idol-Worshippers in the Work?” he discusses the essence of the prohibition against teaching Torah to idol worshippers. Actually, as we usually say, according to the law, there is no prohibition.
After all, we are below all the degrees of the ladder; each rung represents spiritual laws that emerged as a result of the first restriction (Tzimtzum Aleph) and descended through a chain of cause-and-effect.
All these laws essentially stem from one thing: the will to receive that exists in Malchut of the world of Ein Sof, and its decision to attain a desire to bestow like that of the one who created it. That is all there is: the law of the will to receive, which the Creator created, and the law of equivalence of form, which the created being willingly took upon itself.
These two laws are opposite to one another. The law of the will to receive is that this desire acts solely for its own benefit, for its own fulfillment. The law of equivalence of form, on the other hand, is that the will to receive must act for the purpose of fulfilling the Creator, which is called bestowal. And from the clash between these two laws arise all the other conditions, which, in essence, constitute the spiritual degrees.
Thus, a ladder came into being at its highest degree the law of equivalence of form operates, while at its lowest degree only the law of the will to receive operates. On the intermediate degrees, these two laws share their influence upon the created being.

Question: Can the desire for the Creator arise in me only during the study?
Answer: In our current state, it is only during study and through performing good deeds. This is called Torah and good deeds.
What does advancement through Torah and good deeds mean? Through the Torah, you study, and during the study you awaken the surrounding light. Good deeds are various actions that you perform, which also bring you to the surrounding light.
Love your neighbor as yourself, love for those around you, and the unity of the group—all these are actions that you perform that, at the moment, awaken the surrounding light because you are acting in order to connect with other souls for the sake of advancing toward the Creator. This is called observing the commandments.
All the means that the sages spoke about are called study and our group actions. If you ask what is more important: group actions or study, the group activity is more important because it pushes you toward study and prepares you for correct intentions. But if you simply sit and study, it may happen that the result of your work will be negative.
Everything depends on the intention, on what you are asking from the study. Your demands arise through performing the actions surrounding the study. Therefore, group work is more important than anything else.
Even if you do not study but only engage in dissemination, translations, and other work for the group, from this, correct, good desires for the Creator will come to you, and then this will be enough for you to receive an answer. Of course, it is not only this, but the preparatory work is very important.

Question: How should one work during an acute realization of one’s own evil?
Answer: When I experience the awareness of evil, there are states in which I am simply unable to move, as if I were dead, “free among the dead.” I cannot do anything. It is as though I am free from the commandments, from any action that I am incapable of performing. We do not even discuss such states when a person is at the lowest point of their descent.
Likewise, when a person ascends to a higher degree, he too can lose his head. This is clear.
But in all other states, he can more or less control himself; there is a connection between his feeling and his reason. Only in these two states does feeling prevail, and a person can lose his reason, his judgment. If, however, you can function even to some degree, if you have two forces, feeling and reason, then somehow you can still begin the work.
What am I lacking at these two points: at the peak of ascent and at the bottom of despair? When feeling is at its maximum and reason is at zero, I need to add reason. Where will I get this reason? From the group. In this way, I will enlarge my vessel and will not become confused.

Question: How is it possible to obtain the ability to “love your neighbor”?
Answer: It is impossible to acquire love for your neighbor without coming out of yourself. Desire is one thing. It can be directed either toward myself or toward that which is outside of me. And outside of me is the Creator. But in order not to deceive myself as if I want the Creator, I must, instead of the Creator, think about my environment, my friends.
If I can relate to them with love, it is a sign that I relate the same way to the Creator. After all, what is outside of a person’s body, whether it is the Creator or his friends, or something foreign that provides no immediate benefit, does not actually exist for him. “Does not exist” means that he does not think about it.
When do I begin to care about someone? When I see that in some case, state, in some connection, I depend on him. And if I do not depend on him, it would never even occur to me to care about him.
Do you really care about life in Australia? What is happening there? Who will be the prime minister there? You barely remember about it once a year. Why? Because you do not depend on it. But if we in Israel could receive, say, water only from Australia, imagine what the news would be talking about, what we would be thinking about all the time? Only about Australia: is everything all right there, and how can we settle everything with it.
That is, what does not relate to me is not in my field of vision at all. It is the same as well now with my friends: They are outside of my field of vision, and this is a sure sign, showing 100% that the Creator is in the same status for me.
I can imagine Him as “good who does good, bestowing to me,” and so on. That is all true, that is how He is in relation to me. But how I relate to Him, I can check only by how I relate to friends. This is the real test.
Baal HaSulam says that as a person grows, at first, he cares a little about the group, then about society, then about the country, and finally about the whole world. Based on this, it is possible to see how you relate to the Creator, because He is that, what is outside of you. This is a very simple, quick verification.
