Question: Rabash writes that a person changes several times to a state where he sees that he is not able to give more force and wants to escape from spiritual work. Why do I have to go through the state of wanting to escape many times?

Answer: It is because our egoism is layered. While a person convinces himself that he must change, many actions take place over him for a long time.

Question: How does one withstand and not run away? Is this due to the strengthening of the ten or oneself?

Answer: Oneself and mostly the ten.

Question: It is easy to feel shame in our world. Why is it so hard to feel it about the Creator?

Answer: The fact is that we do not feel the Creator and do not imagine Him, and that is why it is difficult for us to feel what He feels, what He has from us, and what we receive from Him. For us, this is all a closed account. Therefore, our state is called concealment.

Question: You can still feel shame about the group because we get a lot from it. But is it difficult to imagine that the Creator is behind the group?

Answer: When you begin to come closer to the group, then you will start to feel the Creator behind it. To feel Him, one must strive with all one’s soul to connect with the group.

Question: What does the author call a blessing at the beginning and at the end, and how does this relate to the structure of the prayer?

Answer: We bless the Creator for gradually revealing all our mistakes and shortcomings and then thank Him for correcting these mistakes. That is how we go through all our desires and all the corrections.

We thank the Creator for the shortcomings He initially created in us and for the steps we take to correct these shortcomings. And so we move forward.

When we bless the Creator, we raise Him above ourselves more and more and thus can call upon ourselves even greater light.

One must know in one’s heart that the Creator chases him just as much as he chases the Creator. One must never forget that, even during the greatest longing. When remembering that the Creator misses and chases him to cling to him as intensely as one wishes for it himself, he then always goes from strength to strength, with yearning and longing, in a never-ending Zivug [coupling], the complete perfection of the soul, until he is rewarded with repentance from love (Baal HaSulam, Letter No. 19).

Question: It is so poetically written here that he then always goes from strength to strength, with yearning and longing, in a never-ending Zivug. How can one reach such a high state?

Answer: If a person constantly directs himself toward greater connection with the Creator, by striving to feel it, he gradually begins to sense it. Continuous merging (Zivug) is when you constantly desire to be connected with the Creator and direct your sensations toward knowing Him. And thus, you move toward Him.

Question: Do true Kabbalists direct all their sensations, everything that happens to them throughout the day, toward the Creator and connect with Him through this?

Answer: Certainly. Is there anyone else besides the Creator? He is the root of everything, and a person directs himself toward Him.

Question: How do they not lose this focus on the Creator?

Answer: Through their own effort and personal prayer.

Question: Why, when a friend has some trouble, does resistance arise in the ten to work with his Hisaron (lack)?

Answer: Because this is not your own need, but supposedly someone else’s. The Creator deliberately burdens your hearts so that you overcome this.

Question: Does the Creator, by this, want to show that the friend himself, in prayer to Him, will feel the strength to rise and unite all friends?

Answer: No, the friend himself cannot do anything. He can only raise a prayer to the Creator and ask Him.

Question: What kind of work should take place in the ten when the Creator pushes it away and then calls it to Himself?

Answer: In the ten, we must work, trying constantly to come closer to each other and then to the Creator.

There are no other possibilities here except to create a common field of unity around us from which we turn to the Creator, convince Him to help us, and bring us closer to Himself.

Question: Will dissemination work allow us to receive the light of the Creator without feeling shame?

Answer: Yes, of course. After all, at that time you attract additional desires to yourself, place them under a common screen, and ask for them to be filled with light so that the Creator corrects them and raises them to His level. What more could there be? Therefore, it turns out that the most important thing is the work in the group.

Question: How can we stay only in thoughts about the Creator or at least quickly return to them?

Answer: It is with the help of a group. It is difficult to do this alone. It is necessary to study, read, and listen all the time. But it is much easier to do this with the help of a group.

When you are surrounded by the thoughts and statements of your friends, when you hear them all the time, you will be able to constantly remain in thoughts about the purpose of creation, about coming closer to the Creator.

Question: Once you said that we are created out of heavy and lazy material, I feel it more and more. Is it right to ask my friends to pressure me, or is it better to ask the Creator to correct it?

Answer: Each of you is becoming increasingly egoistic every day and therefore needs pressure and help so that your friends can pull you with them. That is deliberately done by the Creator so that you feel the need to connect with each other and thus move forward.

If you constantly talk about it, then it will be much easier for you to raise MAN for each other from the heart.

You should get a gradual feeling of approaching the Creator. Through this, you will see what will happen next.

Question: What is the force of the Creator and the strength of His hand?

Answer: This is what the Creator must do to pull us out of egoism and raise us a little closer to Himself.

This is the work of the Creator. And we must always be focused on each other and the Creator so that we do not miss the slightest opportunity to turn to Him for help.

If we do not turn to the Creator, we lose contact with Him. He constantly wakes us up, but if we don’t respond, then the connection disappears. This continues until the next opportunity presents itself, when the Creator will be able to turn to us again and awaken us to a connection with Him.
