Question: Must MAN (raising a deficiency, a prayer, a request) be complete, perfect?

Answer: MAN is always perfect. I raise the Reshimo even though I do not know what I am raising. Moreover, according to my development, no greater participation is required of me than what I am capable of. If I feel a lack, I cry out, and that is sufficient.

On a higher level, in addition to the feeling of lack, I need to know to whom I should turn with this Hisaron (deficiency). One level higher still, I need to know why I am doing this. And higher still, know what this will give me and even higher, what this will give the one who bestows to me.

The connection is expressed through a cry! And there is nothing else here. From our side, the connection is only in the cry. And from His side, it is expressed in thousands of ways that we do not know because they are mostly concealed but could be partially revealed.

But even in what is revealed, there is still much more that is hidden, even at the stage of the final correction. After all, this final correction is only relative to our Kli and not to the system that was created by the Creator. We can speak only in relation to the creation.

Question: There is confusion between what is called love and our sensations. You said that you relate to your students with love, but this is not always what we feel.

Answer: When you have children, I am sure you will love them, but I am also sure that sometimes they will receive punishment from you. Tell me, how is that possible?

You always relate to a person with love, but your momentary attitude toward them is determined by what they do compared to what they should do. Then, despite loving them, you may strike them as if you hate them.

Do you really hate them? You hate their external form that does not correspond to the level they should be at. You hate their lack of correction, not them. In order to pull them out of it, you punish them precisely to the extent necessary for them to free themselves from that deficiency.

The punishment lies in revealing suffering in them, which shows them that they must extract this deficiency themselves. The suffering they feel becomes their salvation, their fuel, a precise indication of what they must now uproot from within them.

If you do not do this correctly, they will not understand why you punish them or what you want from them. Then they begin to hate you. But if the punishment is directed precisely against the evil within them and they understand that through this punishment they can free themselves from it, uproot it, cut it off, and discard it, they will be grateful to you. But this is the ideal case.

This is how we come to understand the Creator’s attitude toward us. He causes us harm, creates negative qualities within us, and then punishes us, but in a targeted way, so that we rid ourselves of those negative qualities.

You may ask: what is the benefit of this? The Creator appears harsh, He punishes, points to where the evil is, and this punishment ultimately frees us from it. And who am I in all this? The one who is present, with whom all these events occur? Why do I need this?

It is so that I change my attitude toward this process. In this way, I study the actions of the Creator, who created the evil and now assigns punishment against it. That is, He shows me His attitude toward evil and thereby brings me to the side of good. Thus, I acquire His mind.

Can I learn this without punishment? Only if I try to look at this entire process happening within me in the same way that He does.

Question: How can one learn to feel the point of contact with the Creator and use it for good while being in a group?

Answer: To use the point of contact with the Creator for evil means that I begin to enjoy it for myself. The moment I start taking pleasure in it, I am immediately allowed to feel: “How wonderful this is; it is worth engaging in spirituality. Now I am better than everyone else in the world. I feel good and comfortable with everyone, the sensations are amazing!” And then, I become empty.

What should I do instead when I discover this point? I need to build all kinds of systems around me in advance that will help me rise in the future. But right now, I should channel all my excitement and inspiration into progress.

Question: When I’m inspired, I pass that energy on to the group, but when I have nothing to give, can that harm it?

Answer: When you have something to give, you give it to the group. Also, when you are full of inspiration, it is a good time to study more. Then you will better understand what you are learning, connect more deeply with the books, notice things you did not see before, and develop a kind of connection with spirituality.

But when you fall again, failing to hold onto the connection at the point of contact with the Creator, right at the peak of your choice, and unable to use it for the sake of giving, you will see that the group is indeed capable of supporting you in a state of emptiness caused by misusing the excitement and inspiration that came to you. It can happen both ways. However, from every state we must draw a lesson.

The group should always provide me with the strength on the path toward the goals I have chosen to achieve.

I have to be constantly told: “Listen, we are going to tell you something now! There are people among us who have already achieved this, and you know, it is so wonderful, so marvelous!” And then, believe me, everyone will run there, and we will all achieve this together.

I have the opportunity to measure the extent to which my goal corresponds to the Creator. At every level, there are states where you feel that you are more connected with Him. In addition, if I cannot become aware of myself in relation to the goal, then I can become aware of my growing egoism within me or some other negative states. This is also a preparation, part of our path.

If I do not pay attention to my feelings, whether I feel good or bad, but I examine them as some kind of outside observer, then I can say whether I am actually advancing or not, no matter whether these things are negative or positive.

The problem is that the spiritual path is a path of feelings, and feelings shut off the mind. A person can only say that he feels bad, and that is all. But this is not a test, not a measurement, not research. No matter how smart he is, if you take away two hundred grams of pleasure from him now, he, despite all his wisdom, will not be able to do anything. So the problem is not in measuring how much our goal corresponds to the Creator, but in being able to accomplish it.

The only thing that exists in creation is the upper force, called “One, Unique, Eternal.” It created something that would be able to feel it.

This “something” is called a vessel, Kli, a soul, or a creation; it senses only what surrounds and fills it, namely, the very upper force that created it.

This sensation begins to appear in the Kli as the most simple, very faint feeling, the slightest impression of the upper force. It is a natural reaction inherent to the nature of the Kli and requires no effort on the part of the Kli to arise. This faint natural impression is termed this world.

The upper force has a specific program regarding the Kli it created; the Kli is destined to perceive the upper force up to a certain degree called infinity. The Kli was created with an inherent readiness for precisely this measure of perception, and the upper one guides its development it so that it may ultimately perceive Him in His full, infinite measure.

The Kli gradually develops an increasing degree of sensitivity to the upper force. Its development takes place in stages; these stages are called worlds. In total, there are five stages of development.

Initially, the Kli is in a completely unconscious state relative to the upper force, much like an embryo in its mother’s womb. We designate this specific sensation as this world, which in the broader scheme is the lowest degree of the world of Assiya.

Subsequently, the Kli can develop heightened sensitivity and thereby perceive the upper force as the worlds of Assiya, Yetzira, Beria, Atzilut, the world of Adam Kadmon, and finally, as Infinity. We refer to the impressions experienced by the Kli by the names of the lights NRNHY (Nefesh, Ruach, Neshama, Haya, and Yechida). The Kli can feel only its own properties and how, through those properties, it attains the upper force. This is all that it is capable of feeling.

Question: Is it necessary for wars to develop in accordance with the still, vegetative, animate, and speaking levels?

Answer: The inner wars, in accordance with the degrees, become more and more extensive until we come to the war against Amalek. This is the greatest, final war, which destroys the entire Sitra Achra, all the impure forces, the stony heart (Lev haEven).

On each degree, it depends on how the will to receive is revealed in opposition to the will to bestow. And each time their opposition appears before a person’s eyes more and more.

The difference between them is such that, as it is said, the Creator judges the righteous to a hair’s breadth. If earlier you did not feel that you were in a war, in disagreements even over some global things, then clarifications later take place on a very subtle level.

If someone looks from the side, he will think: “What is wrong with you, really?” He does not understand at all what is happening. But you relate to it in such a way that you simply cannot bear it even for a single moment. Sensitivity grows, the level, the depth of analysis. And this continues until all difference between your opinion and the opinion of the Creator disappears.

It is written in The Zohar, Noah (Item 2): “Come and see: ‘All of Israel have a portion in the world to come.’ (Rabash, “All of Israel Have a Portion in the Next World“).

Rabash explains what “all of Israel” means. Who is Israel? Israel is someone who has entered into a covenant with the Creator or aspires to this state. “Entering into a covenant” means that a person has achieved similarity of form with the Creator, that is, adhesion with Him.

Thus, the name “Israel” is given according to one’s desire for the Creator, even by the goal alone despite not yet having achieved it. This is the spiritual definition.

Of course, apart from the spiritual realm, we also live in the material world. But here, in accordance with the law of root and branch, there is another, material, definition of the concept of Israel. According to this definition, it is a person born to a Jewish mother.

However, when Kabbalists speak of Israel, they mean the inner part of a person, where he can truly make the only free choice he has—to adhere to the Creator based on his desire, by making an effort.
