Action Aimed at Correcting the World

219.01Question: Rabash said that one can only correct oneself and that it takes much practice to gain control over one’s egoism. Why would we correct others if they will automatically correct themselves when we do?

Answer: Our correction depends on the connection between us. Therefore, dissemination is a very important action.

We do not take any obstacles into account but only wish to disseminate Kabbalah as a teaching about the correction of humanity and its elevation to the highest level—the level of the Creator.

The Fight for Unity

938.05Question: What will help us reach unity in mind and heart so that the Creator will elevate us to the next degree?

Answer: Fighting for unity in mind and feelings means that we must in any circumstance think only about unity because only based on that can we influence the Creator, our state, and move toward the upper purpose.

The Light of Faith

294.1The one who seeks the truth is the one who needs the light of faith. (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 41, “What Is Greatness and Smallness in Faith?”).

Faith is a condition when I act as if I am in front of the Creator in absolute attainment, connection, love, and mutual understanding with Him.

Then, I am in complete faith.

Question: Can the light of faith be felt as something I can share?

Answer: The light of faith is a feeling of connection with the Creator. Of course, it is always lacking, so we must constantly ask for it.

The Path of Truth

235Question: What is the path of truth?

Answer: The path of truth is when we constantly turn to the Creator with a request to cure us of egoism. A person who seeks the truth is called a righteous person.

Question: And what is it to see with all your heart?

Answer: It means to feel.

Delve into the Sources

530Question: What can we do to delve deeper into the sources and reveal them more internally?

Answer: You have a group where you should reproduce what you read in desires until they are ready for spiritual use.

Reproducing means reading and desiring to feel how gradually you immerse in all these conditions, and you begin to see how you change by them. Then you will form a more serious attitude toward your desires.

Questions about Spiritual Work—119

559Question: Egyptians are desires and thoughts that lead me away from spiritual work. What does it mean to kill an Egyptian?

Answer: To kill the negative intention within oneself.

Question: How can we soften our path since it is challenging?

Answer: Through love for our friends. By increasing love among yourselves in the group, you can do whatever you want with your path and spiritual development.

Question: Every day I complain to the Creator. Why do people fight, why do earthquakes and floods occur? How can we help the planet Earth avoid these sufferings?

Answer: Change yourself so that you relate to all earthlings as good human beings and explain to everyone that love is the highest quality we can receive from the Creator, and it will correct everything.

Question: I feel indifferent to what is happening in the world. Should I emotionally engage in what is happening? What is the right attitude?

Answer: Indifference arises when you cut yourself off from the group, from the masses, and interest in getting closer arises from the fact that you are getting closer to your friends and want to create some common desire together.

Between Good and Evil

591Question: How do you keep a balance between good and evil?

Answer: We cannot maintain such a balance. We do not need this at all since these calculations are inherently egoistic. We must try to surrender fully to the Creator.

Live in a state where you feel completely open to the Creator. Gradually, these feelings will settle in you and take their place.

Where Does History Lead Us?

944Question: The exodus from Egypt is the last material frontier of the egoistic world. Beyond it there is a conditional line, where after crossing it, a person begins to feel love and bestowal of the Creator.

What is this transformation that we are undergoing?

Answer: This is the last correction, which is called the final correction (Gmar Tikkun).

It occurred when a group of Kabbalists led by Moses exited Egypt, united with the Creator, received the Torah on Mount Sinai, and thus attained their final correction.

In other words, all this has already happened. Today, we, under no circumstances, need to go to Mount Sinai and climb it. The only thing we have to do is to be internally and spiritually ready for unity in the movement from heart to heart.

Then, we will feel the state called one nation in one heart. That is where history leads us. Everything that happens in the world is only necessary for us to complete it. We live in the happiest time.

“And the Children of Israel Sighed from the Work”

931.01Question: It is written, “And the children of Israel sighed from the work, and they cried out, and their cry rose up to God.” Where does this cry come from?

Answer: It comes from a sense of helplessness that people want to unite to succeed and receive fulfillment from the Creator through their efforts, but they see they are unable.

From this, their cry arises, like a drowning person who can do nothing in the sea except cry out for help.

Love in Two Ways

527.03Question: It is written that a person can discover love in a good way or with harsh judgments. How is this related to the feeling that I stand before the King and can reveal this love in two ways?

Answer: This is an emotion; therefore, I cannot convey it to you. Either you desire to increase good within yourself and thus come closer to the Creator, or you demand something to come closer to the Creator.

That is what we do in life. You can ask, cry, and thus draw closer, or make a demand.

In principle, a person should reach such love for the Creator with which the Creator loves him. But this is practically an unattainable degree. That is the end of all corrections.
