Prayer Opens the Heart

625.02Question: Should I feel the pleasure that a friend gives to the Creator in the heart?

Answer: Yes. We have to work hard to be strongly connected with the hearts of the friends, and we will be able to feel the Creator through their hearts.

Question: How much does a prayer contribute to the development of the feeling in the heart?

Answer: Prayer opens the heart. If you want to increase its sensitivity, then this is done through the prayer.

Questions about Spiritual Work—13

549.01It also feels others and can therefore care for them and complement them by feeling and regretting with the public, and being able to rejoice in the comfort of the public (Baal HaSulam, Shamati 115, “Still, Vegetative, Animate, and Speaking”).

Question: How can we work with this correctly in order to rejoice in the comfort of the public?

Answer: If a person tries to put all his strength into being together with the friends as one, then everything that happens to him he feels as the correct progress.

Answer: No. Either we feel only our own spiritual suffering or that of those people with whom we are connected, or the suffering of the Creator, which is called the suffering of the Shechina.

Question: Can a person suppress the animal instincts of self-preservation and procreation in order to serve the Creator and the friends?

Answer: He does not have to do this, not in anway.

Question: What is this action of raising a friend to the level of the Creator?

Answer: So that he is as important to you as the Creator.

Question: Which egoism is worse and more destructive: animalistic or spiritual?

Answer: Spiritual. It is the most difficult, heavy, and harmful egoism.

Question: Is it possible to come to an identical feeling of what a friend feels and merge with his inner feelings?

Symphony of Hearts

934Question: How can we harmoniously enter the symphony of hearts?

Answer: You should be connected with your friends in the ten and try to complement each other all the time so that you can feel and understand each other’s hearts. And then you will feel how mutually connected you are and that the Creator is playing on your common heart.

The Creator is like a bow of a violin, and we are like strings. Try to develop your connection so that the melody of the relationship between you and between you and the Creator is played all the time.

Question: If everyone’s heart is a musical instrument, do we play like an orchestra or are we all a single instrument?

Answer: We are either one instrument that includes absolutely everything or a multitude of instruments playing like an orchestra. But it does not matter. The main thing is that there should be consistency between us.

Over time, we will learn and feel how all nature plays—birds, animals, people, fish, no matter who and what—everyone is included in this game, and everyone eventually praises the Creator.

Question: How can we become a bow in the ten? Sometimes when I play, I feel that it causes rejection in others.

Answer: The main thing is to hold hands together and move forward. One word and another that you all understand together, and advance this way.

Melt the Heart of a Friend

514.02Question: How does our rational calculation around a gift turn into a feeling of love?

Answer: It is necessary to repeatedly give to a friend until you pierce his heart’s sac, in which the heart is located, and he will feel that you penetrate his inner feelings. By doing this, you will cause a reaction in your friend, even if he initially did not want it. And then you will see that he begins to treat you warmly.

This is the law, this is how we were created.

Question: There is a state when there is no strength to make a gift. Do we have to wait for the right moment, or can we make some effort?

Answer: Even if there are no such feelings, you need to try and give each other examples.

Take a Loan from the Creator

562.02Question: Can a person take a loan from the Creator, and how does this affect corporeal life?

Answer: It is said: “Turn to Me, and I will give it to you.” We can receive from the Creator everything that is possible from the Creator. He will give us everything we ask for. We do not have to worry about how to return it to Him, and in time we will be able to do that as well.

But to ask the Creator to give us the power of reason, physical strength, and the strength of feelings, so that we can work, advance, and overcome our nature, is what we must do. In this case, we should have no shame.

Question: What is the difference between asking for a loan or finding work for the Creator and earning?

Answer: The difference is how I feel about the Creator, either I ask Him to give me something that I do not deserve as a loan, but then I will return it to Him, or I ask for help, and then I do not need to return it. It depends on my relationship with the Creator, on my inner feelings, and where I am.

Question: How should I ask in order to receive a Kli of bestowal on credit?

Answer: Just ask. There is no special prayer here, you just have to ask in your own words.

Targeted Gifts

566.01Question: I really like to give gifts, but at the same time I know that somewhere subconsciously I expect a reaction. How can I do it without expecting a reward?

Answer: You do not need to do anything for free. You want to give gifts to everyone and to the Creator in order to achieve a common state of love and connection with everyone. At the same time, you really want to feel this state, and for everyone to participate in it.

Question: If a friend gives a gift unconsciously, then in addition to the feeling of love, there is also a shame for a friend. Why is this given?

Answer: This is an indicator that your hearts are not yet fully open to each other. It is necessary to open them more, and then you will not be ashamed of any relationship between you.

What Thoughts Are We Interested In?

547.03Question: The Creator gives me different thoughts and I am afraid that my friends will find out about them. Who should be responsible for this? Where is He? Where am I? What am I responsible for? What should I pass to Him?

Answer: Until you reveal everything that is in you to the Creator and to your friends, you will not correct yourself. And so it is for each of us.

We are talking about spiritual thoughts. We are interested only in how we can connect and help each other. And the fact that each of us is a small animal does not interest us.

Question: What does it mean to “open myself completely to the Creator”? I am already in before Him as if in the palm of His hand.

Answer: Do not hide your love for Him from the Creator.
