Armed with the Quality of Mercy

Posted on May 25th, 2026

Aaron is Israel’s right arm… We need to know that the right arm is regarded as Hesed [mercy], which is the vessel of bestowal. That is, he wants only to do mercy and bestow. By his power, Aaron drew this power to the people of Israel (Rabash, Article 1 “Moses Went”).

The spiritual degrees of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are Sefirot Hesed, Gevura, and Tiferet. Moses, Aaron, Joseph, and David are Netzach, Hod, Yesod, and Malchut. This article discusses a state in which it is impossible to advance in accordance with the guidance provided by Aaron (the quality of Hesed, the altruistic desire in a person).

It is written that Aaron is Hesed, mercy. But why? He is the left line, the domain to which the concept of Cohen (priest) pertains.

Consequently, it is believed that the Kohanim (priests) have a difficult, irritable temperament. But here, for some reason, it talks about the property of Hesed?

Rabash wanted to explain the path that Moses must traverse. Indeed, the article is called precisely that: “And Moses Went.” Where and how should he go? It is about advancing by faith above reason, because it is impossible to go by faith below reason.

What does faith above reason mean? It means that I accept knowledge, rise above it, and based on this, build my connection with the Creator in such a way that I treat all obstacles that come my way as if sent by the Creator. I make the correction of Hesed (mercy) on them and ask the Creator to help me use them, be above them, and stay connected to Him. In other words, I seek to build my connection with Him upon the foundation of these obstacles.

It turns out that all these hindrances are exactly the material with which I connect myself to the Creator. It says, “Bind the sacrifice with ropes until [it is brought to] the corners of the altar.

The altar represents the correction of the desire to receive at a high spiritual level. The cords (ropes) signify Aviut, spiritual coarseness or intensity of desire. This Aviut manifests specifically through the disturbances that arise from the desire to receive, from the side of reason.

Therefore, anyone who does not suppress their reason, but rather, while remaining above it, establishes a connection and demands correction from the Creator, ultimately achieves adhesion with Him.

Naturally, true spiritual work cannot take place in a state where a person merely experiences pleasure, for that is not work and does not require any exertion. It is only when a person reaches the level of Hesed (mercy) that we can say one rejoices from their work, because one has made the correction of Hafetz Hesed, the correction associated with Aaron.

This is why Moses always told Aaron, “Let us go to Pharaoh together.” This refers, of course, to approaching the Creator, but primarily, it signifies going together with his brother.

He performed the correction through the property of Hasadim and reached the degree of Hesed (mercy) through correcting the disturbances; he united with the Creator by faith above reason and reached the degree of Pharaoh, the capacity to wage war against his own desire to receive.

In this manner, you can advance forward time and again; it is by using and conquering Pharaoh, returning to him repeatedly until you pass through all ten plagues and merit to break free from Pharaoh’s dominion.

If a person does not become resilient in the face of obstacles, armed in advance with the quality of mercy, one will not need the Creator’s help to cope with Pharaoh. When one has no need for the Creator’s help, one has no means of getting closer to the Creator.

Work in Lo Lishma and in Lishma

Posted on May 25th, 2026

Question: Why is our work called work in Lo Lishma if the goal of this work is the Creator?

Answer: A person who is in Lo Lishma, whether they want to or not, works for themselves. This means that both their work, their goal, and their effort is all only for themselves. When they attain Lishma, both their work and their goal change, and no longer the goal, but the work itself becomes the reward for them. Then everything changes.

I have exerted various efforts in order to bestow upon myself as well as upon you because I see benefit in it. Even if that benefit is of the highest order, so what? After all, I do all this because I feel it, me, myself. All this is connected with my “I.”

If, as a result of these efforts, correction comes from above, then everything within me changes. Bestowal for the sake of my own fulfillment disappears completely. What remains are “bestowal for the sake of bestowal” and “reception for the sake of bestowal,” and that is what I do.

Now the effort itself gives me satisfaction; I want to have the opportunity to exert it; I want this work, rather than having some other goal apart from the exertion of effort.

Question: What does a person who works for themselves in Lo Lishma think about? What must they reach?

Answer: A person working in Lo Lishma has many possibilities. There are many degrees within the state of Lo Lishma. We studied what it means “to mock,” and what it means “to hate.” There are different degrees here: working solely for oneself, working only so that another will not receive, and so on.

The Meaning of “Atzmuto”

Posted on May 25th, 2026

Question: What does “Atzmuto” mean?

Answer: We do not talk about Atzmuto. Atzmuto is something above the desire relative to us, above any relation to us. Whatever exists before His connection with creations is called Atzmuto.

Whatever begins from the point of connection with creations is called the Creator (Boreh). What does “Boreh” mean? Bo Re—come and see. This is already attainment, something that can be reached, seen, attained.

Where Will the Force of Correction Come From?

Posted on May 24th, 2026

A covenant is defined as the process of separating ourselves from the vessels of reception, when we become similar to the properties of the Creator, GE, the vessels of bestowal. AHP deAliyah means that we try to extract the interaction between Malchut and Bina from the vessels of reception. This is similar to the AHP deBina that later prepares to influence Malchut.

If the AHP deBina possesses a power that it can transmit the entire light from above downward to Malchut , this means that the entire AHP deAliyah has been corrected. And after it has been corrected, GE and AHP deAliyah together can begin correcting Malchut itself.

But Malchut is not corrected through the making of a covenant or through the corrections performed by GE and AHP deAliyah as the property called “Israel.” Rather, it is corrected “in its own place.” A light comes from above and sanctifies Malchut as it is. As it is said: “The angel of death will become a holy angel.” And the pig will become holy, that is, kosher.

So what, will the laws of nature change? Will the pig suddenly lose the signs of an impure animal and become a ruminant like a cow? Naturally, such a thing cannot happen. The Creator does not change the original design. The laws of nature are constant and absolute.

AHP deAliyah will do its work and Malchut will be corrected in its own place. Thus, there will not be changes from the inclusion of Malchut in Bina; rather, the force of correction will come from Bina to Malchut. Then it will not be “Israel” that is corrected, but the nations of the world, and there will be no distinction between the future world and our world.

During correction, it is said that Israel has a share in the future world. Those who strive toward spirituality and are called “Israel” also have a share, but only a share in that state, in that place called the future world: in covenant with the Creator, in connection, in equivalence of form and adhesion with the Creator.

In the final correction, the future world will descend and become included within this world, and then not only Israel will have a share in the future world, but all created beings will possess that same state of adhesion with the Creator.

“May He Pray All Day”

Posted on May 24th, 2026

Question: How can we achieve a state where a prayer is not false?

Answer: All our prayers are false. When a person reaches the point where one can no longer raise a prayer, he enters the state of real prayer. Before that, all his prayers are false.

It is written that you need to always remain in prayer, as it is said: “May he pray all day.” We must strive to pray with all seriousness, out of heavy thoughts. Once they all come to an end, the time for true prayer comes.

We must realize one thing: everything we understand does not work at all. Our minds feel full. Imagine that you would leave this lesson satisfied, understanding everything, happy that you understood it, and were filled. In fact, you feel exactly the opposite: everything is dull, unclear, and in general, you have no idea how to walk this path.

What is the difference between these two states apart from the inner false feeling? It is deceptive because you do not know why you are given such a feeling.

Strengthening on the Spiritual Path

Posted on May 24th, 2026

All our work is carried out only above reason. It is completely absent in the desire to receive. And although Kabbalah is called a science, this science is hidden. It does not stem from the nature of the desire to receive from which all our sciences are built: physics, chemistry, electronics, even psychology (although that is not entirely a science).

But what conclusion can be drawn from all this? No matter how much research we conduct, no matter how much we develop these sciences, they do not change us. We gain no real benefit from them.

Question: So, what does our “strengthening on the path” before the breakthrough consist of? To come to a state above reason?

Answer: Above reason means to receive advice from the Creator, to become included in Him and not in the desire to receive.

If while being within the desire to receive, I imagine some other state, which I call, say, the desire to bestow, it is still the same desire to receive. So, what is to be done? I must receive from the Creator something that does not exist within the desire to receive.

The sages say that all that remains is to carry out the preparation called “strengthening.” I must work with other people who are outside of me, egoistically, and then I will begin to discover that there is a great difference between my attitude toward them and my attitude toward myself. From the recognition of this difference, I will begin to understand who I am.

I have a “laboratory” in this world located within the desire to receive. In our nature, thanks to the shattering of the common soul, a unique possibility exists to see from within the desire to receive an analogy to the kind of difference that exists between the spiritual and material worlds.

It is said that the same opposition that exists between the material world and the spiritual world also exists in your attitude toward yourself and toward others. It is astonishing that within your egoism, you can see this and learn from it.

Nevertheless, if you study this egoistically, then it is psychology: how good I am, how polite I am, and so on. It becomes the kind of thing people like to take pride in: how noble-hearted they are.

But if you study this with the aim of somehow imagining your attitude toward spirituality, toward the Creator, then, as a result of the connection between the branch and the root, there appears within you a certain feeling called the point of recognition of evil.

From this point, you gradually begin striving toward adhesion with the Creator, as Baal HaSulam says: “I am lovesick.” But this comes only from the recognition of your attitude toward the friend.

What can strengthen us in this? The relationship between “I” and the Creator, “I” and divinity.

Question: But is this not concealed?

Answer: It is not concealed. Before my eyes stands a real friend. But if I accept him, then I work with him in order to find the point of my relation to the upper one. Otherwise, I have no other place for work. The reality surrounding me becomes as if a laboratory.

Inspiration Is Our Fuel

Posted on May 24th, 2026

Question: Is a person able to constantly hold onto the inspiration that comes from above?

Answer: A person must always hold onto one question: “Why am I in this particular state?” If they forget and lose this point, then, according to their nature, the desire to receive immediately overtakes and controls them.

Question: Can we hold this inspiration constantly for the sake of advancement, or is it something we hold onto only after completing the work?

Answer: This question does not correspond to reality. As long as I have not completed the work, how can I hold onto inspiration? Inspiration exists within the work itself. Can I make even a single movement without inspiration? It is my fuel.

Prayer Is a Complete Request

Posted on May 24th, 2026

Question: Is the connection with the Creator expressed in prayer or in the answer to prayer?

Answer: The answer to a prayer depends on the prayer itself. There is nothing that we do not request from below; only the form in which the answer arrives takes depends on the requester’s level of development.

Let us say a baby is crying, he cannot ask his mother: “I want 30 grams of your milk, which you will give me by breastfeeding me. There are certain substances in milk that will make me grow.” The child does not know all the causes and consequences; he does not even know what he needs. He just cries from his unfilled lack (Hisaron), and the mother, guided by this cry, knows what he needs.

But if an adult were to start screaming in the street the way a baby cries in a cradle, no one will understand him while the baby’s cries are understandable: either something is bothering him or he is hungry.

An adult may have a thousand reasons to scream. He must express his cry in a very understandable way: what exactly does he want and why, what it will give him, and how he can ask others. He already has to somehow organize a connection with other people, because it is not natural.

We are treated the same way from above, depending on our level of development. But MAN, the prayer we raise is a complete request. That is, it is enough for a baby to just scream, because inside his cry there is already a request to the upper from beginning to end. And the upper understands this appeal and deciphers it.

The baby does not know why he is screaming, but the prayer he raises is MAN that contains all the information as if he knows everything one hundred percent. The same applies to spiritual work.
