Bring Contentment to the Creator

239What does it mean to believe that by all your actions you bring contentment to the Creator? At first, take it for granted.

We need to constantly think about how to bring contentment to the Creator, and therefore, we must always be ready for this state.

Keep Silent or Respond with Love?

549.02Question: You once said that if I remain silent in response to aggression or hatred directed at me, then this is equivalent to bestowing in order to bestow. And if I can process it and respond with love, then it is receiving in order to bestow. In any case, is silence best of all?

Answer: No, silence is not best. The best is if you accept getting close to the other, say to your opponent, and want to take your connection to the next level.

Silence is a space where I can process everything in myself, justify it, turn to the Creator, to my friends, and rise to love. Silence is not a correction but just some kind of rearrangement within our Kelim (Vessels).

It is in silence that we reveal the hearts of others.

The Most Important Commitment

528.03Question: Each of us works in the ten, makes efforts, and strives for bestowal. We come to the lesson and feel the joy of being together. But then there is a wall.

There is emptiness between everyone; everyone sits in their own cocoon, and we are not drawn to each other. Inside the cocoon, we work with ourselves, with the Creator, with the goal, with the importance of the lesson. What is next? How can I correctly ask myself and the Creator what I am doing wrong?

Answer: Each of us must commit to getting closer to the friends so that the ten eventually becomes something common. Then in this general, we will feel the upper world. Constantly imagine this, and nothing else is needed.

938.04Question: How do we practically come closer to each other in a good way and not lie to each other?

Answer: It depends on the person’s heart, nothing more.

Question: What is the basis of each new connection in the ten?

Answer: To be even closer to each other than before.

Question: Sometimes it seems to us that we have already come to a complete connection. The next moment we see that this is not the case at all. How do we determine the degree of connection in the ten?

Answer: We cannot measure it. We must aim for complete connection every second.

Question: Rosh HaShanah, like a new degree, begins with judgment. Is it correct to say that without connection, the world will remain in a state of judgment and will not move further to the mercy of the Creator?

Answer: Of course, it will be advancing, but by a worse path.

Question: You said there should be no end to the efforts to connect. When we work together in lessons, meetings, and workshops, it is understandable. But when we are not working together, what should the individual efforts be?

Answer: I have to place all the friends into my heart and keep them there all the time so that they do not fall from there. That is all.

Ask For Coming Closer Together

942Question: In many articles, Rabash writes that if you do not bring contentment to the Creator, then life is not worth living. It is a very strong feeling when I do not want to live if I do not do something for someone else. How do we come to this?

Answer: We have to think about it all the time and ask the Creator to reveal to us what state we really are in when we improperly connect with Him.

Question: After the Creator brings us closer to Him, we feel rejection from Him. Will the strength of these rejections increase as we advance?

Answer: Yes, the rejections will increase. It is necessary to overcome them together, not alone. When you try to do it alone, it will not work. We must discuss it with our friends and then turn to the Creator together.

The Creator does everything explicitly or implicitly. But you have to constantly ask Him about coming closer together.

Presenting Hearts to the Creator

935Question: Why does the Creator first need to break the heart and then heal it?

Answer: Otherwise you will not feel that you have to gather your hearts with everyone else and then present them to the Creator.

Question: What does it mean to present hearts to the Creator?

Answer: To unite them among themselves and present them to Him so that He can fill them with Himself.
