Question: If there are friends in the ten who are not ready to be in mutual guarantee, then is there perhaps the need to divide the ten?

Answer: This is an extreme case. What can you expect from a person who is just beginning to study? Like at school, in the first years the child does not understand where he is at all.

A person repeats, learns, and connects with friends, but only when he really begins to enter into the system of mutual guarantee, is it considered the beginning of his spiritual work. There is no need to count either by years or by some degrees, you just need to continue.

Question: How can I understand at every moment of my life that I carry the “suitcase” of the Creator, meaning that I work for Him and not for myself?

Answer: The suitcase represents actions of bestowing to the Creator. If they are easy, then the suitcase is the right one and the action is correct. But if it is hard, it means that you got confused somewhere.

Comment: It happens that at the beginning everything goes easily, and then a person wants to take more for himself, and takes the wrong suitcase.

My Response: It means that there is an incorrect connection between friends in the group. Here it is necessary to assess how easy it is to carry the suitcase. The connection imparts lightness to the suitcase.

Question: My suitcase is my ten?

Answer: No, these are your personal desires that you must correct, fill, and come with them to the end of creation. Everything in our life is tied up in relation to this suitcase that you must deliver to its destination.

Question: What determines the constant height of the spiritual level?

Answer: The height of the step is not constant. It is we who climb the steps, and the height of the step itself depends on which egoistic desire we can rise above and overcome, so it does not affect us.

Question: Baal HaSulam writes that prayer arises only when strength runs out. Should we not accompany every action we take with prayer?

Answer: When a person has absolutely no strength to turn to the Creator, and there seems to be no opportunity for him to act, then his prayer is truly complete because he turns to the Creator from his own emptiness. In this way he goes forward. The Creator helps him.

But this does not negate the fact that you should try to add prayer to every action.

You need to figure out what you really want. Admit to yourself what kind of help from the Creator you need, and only ask for it, approach it from all sides.

Question: What does it mean to approach it from different sides?

Answer: Each of you has your own desires, your own understanding. This is how we must approach the Creator.

Question: You said we should check if our prayers are directed at the Creator. What is this check when we compose the prayer of the ten?

Answer: We must constantly check whether we are directed from heart to heart and whether all our hearts are together into one big heart that is directed to the Creator. That is our work.

We must try to imagine this in a group, in any of our connections, and from this unity, aim to the Creator.

Then, when we begin to feel the Creator within our connection, we will already feel Him and begin a different work—the spiritual one. Therefore, with the help of the problems that He causes in us, He tries to raise us to the next level and direct us to Him.

Question: What does a righteous one do with the mountain of evil that he or she sees in front of them?

Answer: He is trying to overcome this evil and turn it into good.

The fact is that wicked and righteous exist in one person, and therefore he wants to kill this wicked within himself, or at least lower it, and, on the contrary, raise the righteous, exalt him above the wicked. In this way, one will be getting closer to the Creator. The righteous and the wicked exist in each of us, and the way we treat them depends on us.

They cannot exist alone; they always seem to complement each other. Therefore, a person, feeling that he is wicked, corrects something in himself and against these corrected properties he feels righteous.

But, in principle, they always replace each other, wicked one moment, righteous the next, and again, wicked one moment, righteous the next, and this is how a person rises: a step with his left foot, a step with the right one, then again, a step with his left foot, a step with his right one. Thus we move forward.

Question: How is the property of the righteous replaced by the property of the wicked?

Answer: New egoistic desires arise in a person, and it turns out that he becomes wicked.

This happens in order for him to correct all his properties, so that all the evil, about which the Creator said at the beginning of creation: “I have created the evil inclination,” will be corrected by Him for good, but at the urgent request of a person.

All diseases are a consequence of moving away from the Creator, and every cure, coming closer to Him. Therefore, if the Creator shows a new distance that separates us, it is only in order to show us a new place to work to get closer to Him.

All states should be taken as moving away from the Creator because He gives us a new gap that needs to be healed and corrected, first among us, and then between us and the Creator. We heal it by asking the Creator to bring us closer so that we come to a corrected, that is, a healthy state.

The Creator purposely distances us so we get closer to Him. So each time, we move a little further away, and then we get even closer until we reach full and final adhesion.

The doctor is the Creator we turn to and ask to heal us, to heal our hearts from extraneous thoughts, egoistic desires, and separation from each other. This is the source of the disease. We ask the Creator to heal all the space between us until we are completely united in one heart.

If a person agrees with one’s distance from the Creator, then the Creator has no other choice but to further increase the distance between him or her and the Creator, so one finally feels where one is at.

After all, if a person is sick, but does not yet feel they are ill, they cannot be cured. This is why the Creator performs various actions so we feel the distance between us and want to heal this separation, that is, get closer, above it.

The Creator will evidently show us that Israel cannot exist in exile, and will find no rest as the rest of the nations that mingled among the nations and found rest, and assimilated in them until no trace was left of them. Not so is the house of Israel. This nation will find no rest among the nations until it realizes the verse, “And from there you will seek the Lord your God, and you will find Him for you will demand Him with all your heart and all your soul.” (Baal HaSulam, article “Exile and Redemption,” “Harmony between Religion and the Law of Development or Blind Fate”).

Question: Why does he call it a sentence as a result of the judgment?

Answer: Because it is in this state when we are completely scattered, and divided, when we have no society, no country, no sense of something of ours that surrounds us, we come to realize that, in principle, that we are nothing and nobody, and from this state, we begin to rise.
