Against Egoistic Thoughts

507.05Question: What kind of effort is it in our work when faith constantly protects us from the entry of strangers into holiness?

Answer: This effort is aimed at preventing egoistic thoughts from interfering with us. We must protect ourselves from egoistic attitudes toward each other.

If everyone in the ten pays attention to this, then you will succeed.

Question: So we can assume that in the end this effort will benefit us?

Answer: This will be of benefit only when you selflessly love others and do not pay attention to whether they love you.

Don’t Give Up

243.04Raising the hands is when he pulls himself without prayer from being a receiver, whether in mind or in heart, so there will be no hold to the Sitra Achra [other side] (Rabash, “The Meaning of Sins Becoming as Merits”).

After a person raises his hands, he prays to the Creator. He asks for the power of bestowal, the power of love. Nothing can be done without prayer.

We need to constantly work on ourselves, not give up, and be in action all the time to bring us closer together. And then we will see new, better states.

If the Creator Does Not Respond to the Plea

565.01Question: It is said that if the Creator does not respond to your plea, it means that it has not been fully clarified.

What questions can we ask ourselves to get to the bottom of true prayer? How do you do it?

Answer: It is very simple. I live and that’s it. And I try to do in my life what is approved by the Creator.

Question: And how do we get to the bottom of this plea?

Answer: Don’t dig around; do what you need to do as a person who wants to be closer to the Creator.

Justify the Creator

281.01Question: What does it mean if the Creator puts a friend in a state of humiliation in the physical world for a long time? Do I need to change something within myself to change this picture?

Answer: What should I change in myself? First of all, it is to justify the Creator.

Everything that the Creator sends to a person is intended only for his spiritual growth. The combination of these two parameters: the first—everything that comes from the Creator, and the second—the desire of a person to rise, gives him the opportunity to find his point, his place correctly.

Interconnection against the Evil Inclination

627.2Question: Why is it that we easily hear the arguments of the evil inclination, and then the good inclination comes and we are no longer able to hear its arguments?

Answer: Because our nature is evil, when we hear the arguments of the evil inclination, we accept them as our own.

Question: How does my inner fight with the evil inclination affect the group if I don’t work with it myself, post it, and discuss it in the group?

Answer: No matter how it happens, you still get included in your friends, and they get included in you. You’re connected anyway.

In principle, all people are connected and influence each other, but there are connections that we choose and want to develop, and there are connections that we do not choose and are ready to leave them as they are.

The Main Purpose of Spiritual Work

275However, one should know that he was given this abundance only so as to gain new strength and be able to grow stronger in the work, that he will engage in the battle of the war of the inclination. Then, each time he is given a temporary rest, meaning upper abundance (Rabash, Letter 26).

Question: What should our main actions be during the rest so we can succeed at the following stage of the war against the evil inclination?

Answer: We need to know exactly what we are stopping for, what goal we choose, how to be connected, and how to move forward.

At the same time, we have the same goal at all stages—merging with the Creator through connecting with each other. But the fact is that we need constantly to check how we are advancing.

The main thing is to get as close to your friends as possible. And when you feel like one man with one heart, then you will be able to turn to the Creator and receive any help from Him.

When Personal Problems Arise

938.03Question: If I have some kind of problem that lasts a very long time, related, say, to my health, I concentrate on myself and break away from the ten.

What should I do in this case? Do I accept it as the best from the Creator and ask for the strength to cope with it? Or ask the Creator so that my friends will not have such situations?

Answer: No, get incorporated in your friends and arrange yourself among them so that you are not visible. Melt into them, and you will see how it will affect you, your problems, and everyone.
