At every step of the spiritual path, the main role is played by the intention to achieve the desire of the Creator.

It is possible to build the right intention through the fact that we connect with our friends, slowly begin to think about others, and thus come to a state where our thoughts and actions are focused on taking care of them. We ask the Creator to help us in this, and we thus achieve the quality of bestowal.

Question: If we are in the ten together scrutinizing the intention, should we not come to some kind of scrutiny of who has the right intention and who does not?

Answer: No, everyone scrutinizes their own intention.

Question: I can demand mutual guarantee from myself, but how can I bring all my friends to it?

Answer: By being an example.

Question: If I honestly conduct an internal analysis, I find within myself the area of distancing from some people in the ten. Outwardly, this is not manifested in any way, but do I need to work and dig inside myself in order to reveal this?

Answer: It is said about this: “if the Creator does not build a house,” that is, a Kli, none of our attempts will help. Ask the Creator. Only this will help.

Question: How is a blessing felt in a prayer?

Answer: A person feels that any response from the Creator is practically a blessing.

Question: How does my prayer help correct others?

Answer: The most desired prayer for the Creator is when we pray and ask for others and not for ourselves. It is by asking for the other that we correct, as they say, all their transgressions and they begin to feel better and easier.

This is how the whole world is corrected. Therefore, we must pray for others.

Question: In what regard should the upper force have mercy on us?

Answer: In regard to the fact that you are callous, that you want everything for yourself, and that in no case do you ask for others. We ask the Creator to have mercy on us egoists, and to teach us to ask for others.

Question: What does it mean to ask for the unnecessary in my prayer?

Answer: This means that it is unnecessary for me personally. I have to ask for everyone, for the whole world.

Question: When a person finds himself in a difficult situation, often hopeless, he turns to the Creator. Today, many people in our country turn to the Creator. Some have already lowered their hands in helplessness, some in anger, some in a plea, prayer, and demand, meaning, the Creator turned the nation to Him today.

Our hearing is sharpened today. What do you think we should hear? What does the Creator want to tell us?

Answer: That we should unite. This is the most important thing. If we unite, then we will defeat our internal enemy and external enemy, and in general then we will win.

Comment: You separate internal and external enemy; please explain this.

My Response: The most important thing is our egoism. We must defeat it, and then we will defeat the external enemy.

Question: So, one depends on the other?

Answer: Yes.

Question: And yet, what is the Creator telling us now?

Answer: He only tells us about connection. Nothing else! He will act in accordance with our connection.

Question: What are these attributes: mercy, truth, justice, and peace? Are these special forms of desire in a person, as in the carrier of these attributes? Where did this come from?

Answer: This came from human nature, which gradually developed these attributes in itself. They are manifested in us in this way.

Question: But we study the development of desires in the wisdom of Kabbalah, and here some attributes appear in a person. How does this relate to the nature of the person and to his development?

Answer: This is directly related to our nature. Based on it, all four attributes develop in us and oppose each other.

Question: We are all different in the ten. Some demand to be pressured since they realize this is the way for them to advance. Others, on the contrary, say there is no coercion in spirituality. How can we properly apply this pressure in the ten? What is the correct formula?

Answer: Do not be afraid of pressure; you just need to behave correctly in the ten, as clearly as possible,  and then all problems will be solved by the Creator Himself and not by us. We only need to properly relate to the states we are in.

After all, everything that happens is done by the Creator, and we must ask Him to correct the imbalance between us, which determines all the negative events in our lives.

Question: The Creator has let me feel that if I have the correct envy for my teacher I can use his example and hold onto connection with my ten and through it with the Creator. How can I properly help my friends envy you in order to strengthen our mutual guarantee?

Answer: I think you should only envy my consistency in aspiring to the goal.

I was about 30 years old when I began to study with Rabash and since then I have not turned in any other direction. I have gone through many various states: descents, ascents, being further and closer, but every day I have prayed to not get further from my goal in any way. This is the main thing.

Question: Rabash often writes in his articles that while a person works for his own benefit, the body does not really resist.

We say that we are Israel; the Creator chose us with tweezers and brought us to the group. The realization that we are the chosen ones gives us a very powerful energy. How can I reveal that I am not working for my body?

Answer: Stick to your friends and do everything for their benefit. That is all.

The chosen ones are those who want to rise above their nature and become like the Creator. The chosen ones are those who strive for the quality of bestowal.
