Preferred Option

250Question: Let’s say you come to the lesson and only read the text with everyone, or you come to the lesson, read the text, and pray for your friends, or you come to a lesson and see that you have no strength, and you ask the Creator to give you the strength to pray for your friends and to be in the intention. Do these options attract the light of the Torah differently?

Answer: Certainly, the preferred option is the one that most awakens the prayer to the Creator. It depends on what you want from the reforming light that returns to the source.

Ideal is the desire to awaken all the friends, the ten, the group, and to rise together with them to the Creator and provide Him with a common Kli so He can fill it up to the final correction.

Fear and Love Must Be Balanced

945Question: Fear and love together are perfection. And if there is less fear than love, what is this condition in the ten?

Answer: Fear and love must be balanced to support each other and exist together.

Question: If these qualities grow as we move forward, we will become like a high-voltage transmission line.

How can one bear this tension since it will increase?

Answer: The voltage will increase, but you will tolerate it. Connect love and fear with your friends and see how it will come into balance.

Ascent of Malchut into Bina

934The garden of Eden means the ascent of Malchut into Bina where she receives Hochma, as Eden means Hochma. And then Malchut, called “garden,” receives Hochma in the form of “Eden,” and this is “the garden of Eden” (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 84, “What Is “He Drove the Man Out of the Garden of Eden so He Would Not Take from the Tree of Life”?”)

Malchut is the lowest degree. Raising Malchut into Bina means correcting Malchut when it rises to the level of Bina with the help of prayer (MAN), receives light, and corrects itself so that it can use its desire for the sake of bestowal.

Question: Is the lowest degree our connection in the ten or my personal work?

Answer: This is the initial work of any person, it is one’s connection with the ten. If a person does not have connection with the ten, one does not go anywhere.

As a result of connection, you gain strength and confidence that you are acting correctly, and then go down and raise MAN.

With this MAN, prayer, you turn to the Creator, and He lifts and corrects you. And you, based on your corrected state, begin to correct all ten Sefirot in the place from which you ascended.

Our Work Is to Beseech the Creator

534Question: It is said that when a person gets used to the path of the Torah, he should regret the smallness of his attainment. How do we train the body for this and not stray from the spiritual path?

Answer: Through imagination, a person must imagine this.

Does he already feel that he contains the whole world within himself? Of course not. And therefore he continues to pursue the light, to pursue the Creator. He tries to ask, and implores the Creator not to abandon him, to draw him closer.

We must regret that there was some understanding and it disappeared. And so on and on until we reach a greater desire.

Question: What if some friends lose this regret? How does a group of ten not deviate and continue this work?

Answer: You must pray for the Creator to attract them.

This can happen to anyone. When you see that friends are cooling down, you must ask the Creator to worry about them. Our work is to turn to the Creator.

How Is the Tree of Life Formed?

938.02Question: How is the Tree of Life formed from the Kelim (Vessels) of the friends that I feel?

Answer: When you try to come closer to your friends and connect to their roots so that you can bestow to each other together, then the real Tree of Life is formed from which you feed, receive vital juices for fruits, and move forward in this way.

To do this, you must connect with your friends.

Questions about Spiritual Work—83

557Question: How do we increase our desire (Hisaron)?

Answer: You can increase Hisaron (desire) only by connecting with your friends because then they show you to what extent Hisaron (desire) can be even greater.

Question: Will we ever come to the point where the property of faith will no longer be necessary for us?

Answer: No, on the contrary, you will have a greater and greater need for faith, even at the final correction. It is a spiritual force that makes us similar to the Creator.

Question: In the corporeal world, we get old and physical strength diminishes. What will compensate for our strength in spirituality?

Answer: New strength that you will receive.

Question: How can we fulfill you?

Answer: Only by the fact that you will be connected with each other and will fulfill the Creator.

Criteria for Evaluating Friends

528.01Question: If I see that my friends have deviated from efforts to attract light and have forgotten about the goal, in what case do I work with this assessment and in what case do I look for a way to remind, give importance, and continue the search for how to attract more light? Are there any criteria?

Answer: There are criteria, but they are still unknown to us. We cannot pinpoint them.

We must always think about how to approach our friends and through them approach the Creator. That is all.
